Contrast Paint Rocks

I didn't intend to crank out 3 figures as fast as possible, it just kind of happened. How? It's really a combination of complementary techniques.

Start with a zenithal over gray, a simple palette (3 colors plus white), and selective use of contrast paint, that's it. The end result is super fast painting. Beside the face/head and body, all the annoying bits and bobs got a single pass of Contrast/SpeedPaint. 

This saves a huge amount of time and frees it up for the face and body. Sure I banged in a bunch of edge highlights and tried to pull off a NMM, but the time cost was free. 

In the above we're nearly complete, and it was super relaxing. Had I not tried a different fur scheme on one of them, I would have batch painted them in under 3 hours.

Keep your brushes clean,
