How to Paint BATMAN - Batman: The Animated Series Adventures - Shadow of the Bat -- Cel Style

Steps

1. 1 Prime the miniature white, then block in the eyes with Purity White as a light base color.
2. 2 Mix Resurrection Flesh and Kislev Flesh about 50/50 and paint the lower half of the face.
3. 3 Base coat the utility belt and outer bat symbol with Averland Sunset, then follow with three to five coats of Marduk Yellow.
4. 4 Mix Skavenblight Dinge with white about 50/50 for the main suit color and paint the chest, arms, and legs, leaving the boots, gauntlets, and underwear unpainted.
5. 5 Mix Braineater Azure with Stegadon Scale Green for a bluer tone and paint the inside of the cape.
6. 6 Paint the cowl, the back of the cape, the gauntlets, the boots, and the underwear in pure Decay Black, cutting in carefully around the eyes and skin.
7. 7 Carefully paint the sculpted bat emblem on the chest in black with a small brush.
8. 8 Use the cape-interior blue mix to add sharp, blocky highlights on raised black fabric — the left side of the head, the cape shoulders, the underwear, the gauntlets, and the tops of the boots — with a hard edge instead of a smooth blend.
9. 9 Thin black paint with flow enhancer and dark-line between every part of the costume, including a line inside the mouth and extra emphasis under the chest muscles and between the abs.
10. 10 Paint the base with Averland Sunset to match the Bat Family faction color, then clean up the feet and paint the base rim in pure black.
11. 11 Notice the suit gray reads too dark, remix Skavenblight Dinge with white, and reapply it over the whole miniature, then touch up the dark lining wherever the regray covered it.
