The flesh tones on the B&P natives are superb! That sort of 'undeveloped colonial' setting is right up my vennel.

Thanks Paul. I've been meaning to post this side by side of the steps.

Reaper Tan Flesh Triad with a little extra ink outlining. Then AP Dip, Strong Tone, and then tidied up and finished.

Really excellent stuff on here. Your painting style is really nice, somehow crisp but subtle if you know what I mean.
Are you on Twitter, your painting seems familiar?

Thanks Purps. I'm not on Twitter in any painting or modeling way? Is that my avenue to turn wargaming into a highly profitable pursuit?

Twitter is a forum for Purps to shamelessly spam pictures of his Hussars and make truly horrendous inyourendo jokes. Much like on here really!

No I guess there is someone with similar painting style to you.
Either that or I’m in some sort of chocolate induced hallucination and I don’t know what’s really going on :?

A village for Congo, which I just received over the weekend. Painted fast and good points for the LAW challenge.
5 Buildings and 4 grain storage huts, which I will count as 50% of a full sized building, in the spirit of fairness.

Very nice! Not a criticism (well maybe constructive criticism! :o ) but the tendency to make thatch roofs light brown/cream on African buildings is incorrect - it’s a European interpretation. The reality is, it actually goes dark grey-brown within a few weeks due to the type of grass used and the African sun.

Even the above one is quite light. They go a bit darker

Same thing happens with clapboard and other wooden buildings, fences, etc - the wood isn't brown or buff, it actually goes grey over time.

Still, that's the "cheap end/native quarter" of Ayton sorted for the VBCW game terrain.
