Black Fur


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any truly high level examples of painted black fur? Im talking Crystal Brush and Golden Daemon level stuff.

 

It seems like a bit of a mystery box and theres a lot of ways to do it but none that im truly happy with how it looks. Do people even try this at a high level or is it not worth the results?

I would generally use a very dark grey (like panzer or Eshin), wash it black, and then highlight again with the grey.  Even "pure" black fur or hair isn't totally black, especially when light is falling on it.

As Knight of Lupus said, black hair never looks truly black. Well, unless it's a Goth with a bad dye job. :)

 

As far as black fur goes, there is very often a lighter undercoat. I had a friend with a half wolf/half German Shephard dog (I assume your painting Vylka Fenrika). Her fur definitely had a light warm grey undercoat, but the highlights on the black sections of her coat were a cold bluish black.

 

Hope that is of some use.
