About product

Flesh that is far from healthy

Zombie Flesh is a flesh shade pulled toward yellow-green, that is exactly where healthy skin ends and undead meat begins. It finds a use on zombies, ghouls, poisoned fighters and on fantastical races with inhuman coloring. Because it is a single-coat paint, a figure is colored in one pass and at the same time the sunken cheeks, eye sockets and tendons on the neck are drawn out.

Where it usually goes wrong

Most often the whole part is spoiled by impatience at the moment when the area stops being glossy and is not yet dry. Anyone who at that point passes a brush over paint already laid will lift the settled pigment and create a sharp transition that once dry looks like a map. It can only be put right with a new coat over the whole part. The rule is: leave what you have laid alone until the area has dried completely, and only then decide about a repair.

What to use the paint for

  • The faces and hands of the undead in fantasy sets
  • The skin of mutants and underground creatures
  • An underpainting beneath lighter casts of healthy flesh
  • Diseased shades of flesh on larger monsters

The effect is stronger if you leave a light ground under the paint. Over a bone white or sand underpainting the shade gains brightness, whereas over gray it goes gray and will look more like stone. It can be supplemented with a darker cast in wounds and a reddened tone around the eyes, both only once the coat beneath has dried completely. The contrast between matte skin and glossy fluid on a fresh injury is what gives a figure an unpleasant credibility, and it is worth the patience.

FAQ

Not healthy flesh, as the tone is shifted toward green. It can be used where a figure is meant to look sick, poisoned or dead.

Once dry, add a darker cast into the eye sockets and around the mouth and add a glossy effect on the wounds. The contrast between matte skin and glossy fluid makes a large part of the impression.

Yes. The ground has to be matte and light, or the paint will lose its brightness and will draw together into beads on a smooth surface.

You went into the area when it was already starting to set. A pass of the brush at that stage lifts the pigment. Wait for it to dry completely and repair the whole part at once.
