Face and Beard
The face is small but it gave me the devil of a time. It's ok but nothing to write home about. I'll probably re-visit it later.
The beard is orange - oh boy is it orange! A little bit of time on the google machine indicated a fantasy dwarf commonly has this bright orange hair and beard color. To be honest I'd like to have seen a little more sculpted detail in the beard to create the illusion of hair. That not being the case I attempted to create that illusion with color.
The base is AK Interactive's AK3032 Strong Ocher. The highlights are Vallejo's 70.953 Flat Yellow. After laying down the base and adding the highlights, and because the ocher is translucent, I went over the whole beard with ocher a few more times to tone down the yellow. After that I hit the bust with a homemade dark wash and..............
VIOLA!! What you see is what you get.
