How to Paint Freddy Krueger from Terrified!

Steps

1. 1 Base coat all of Freddy's burned skin with Screamer Pink.
2. 2 Base coat the pants with Black Grey.
3. 3 Base coat the entire sweater with Mephiston Red.
4. 4 Base coat the boots and hat with German Camo Black Brown.
5. 5 Base coat the leather portions of the glove with XV-88.
6. 6 Paint in the sweater's green stripes with Misfits Green.
7. 7 Highlight the boots and hat by stippling XV-88 mixed into the German Camo Black Brown, building it up over a couple of passes and pushing the brightest highlight onto the brim edge.
8. 8 Highlight the pants with Mechanicus Standard Grey mixed into Black Grey, then push the brightest edges further with a touch of Sky Grey mixed in.
9. 9 Paint the eyes and mouth with Sky Grey, cleaning up any overspill with Screamer Pink.
10. 10 Highlight the face and bare hand with Kislev Flesh mixed into Screamer Pink, then layer random scar lines in pure Kislev Flesh, letting Screamer Pink show through in the most damaged spots.
11. 11 Base coat the glove's metal gauntlet with Tinny Tin and the finger knives with Natural Steel.
12. 12 Highlight both metals with Silver mixed in, applied a bit loosely so it also reads as scratches, then highlight the leather glove with Kislev Flesh mixed into XV-88.
13. 13 Highlight the sweater: Bloody Red on the red areas, then Slimer Green mixed into Misfits Green on the stripes leaving a rim of pure Misfits Green, finished with a pass of pure Slimer Green.
14. 14 Shade the teeth and rust up the glove with Seraphim Sepia, then wash the pants and boots heavily with Nuln Oil to push them toward black and add grime.
15. 15 Thin Nuln Oil with Lahmian Medium and splotch it over the sweater and clothing for extra dirt and shadow.
16. 16 Paint the base solid Misfits Green to match Freddy's game-piece color, then base coat and highlight the frayed back of the sweater with Mephiston Red and Bloody Red.
