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

Steps

1. 1 Base coat the skin with Ungor Flesh.
2. 2 Redo the skin over the top, mixing in a little Resurrection Flesh, since the Ungor Flesh alone read as too orange.
3. 3 Base coat the shirt with Moonray Flesh.
4. 4 Base coat the pants with Flat Flesh.
5. 5 Base coat the trench coat with Bosh Chesnut, applying several layers for solid coverage.
6. 6 Base coat the shoes and the gun with Black Grey, avoiding any metallic paint to keep the animated look.
7. 7 Paint the belt, tie, and glasses frame with plain Decay Black.
8. 8 Since the sculpt has no eyes, fill in the glasses lenses with Purity White.
9. 9 Paint the belt buckle with Cold Grey.
10. 10 Paint the hair and mustache with Celestra Grey for a whitish-grey rather than pure white.
11. 11 Dark line every seam and separation with black thinned with flow enhancer, including the belt, the coat-to-undershirt seam, the hairline, and where skin meets clothing.
12. 12 Continue the dark lining into the recesses of the clothing, the texture in the hair, the fingers, and the texture on the gun.
13. 13 Paint the base with Stegadon Scale Green, the GCPD faction color, in two coats, then dark line the bottom of the feet to separate them from the base.
14. 14 Finish with pure black around the edge of the base.
