Need help with Paint Scheme

[SickSix]

Hello,

 

I need some help with painting the shown figure. So here are my questions:

1. What color or wash should I use to shade the robes?

2. What color should I make the underside of the robes?

3. What color eyes?

(The regular PA guys will have less yellow)

For the robes it depends on what sort of final yellow you want. For a drab, mustard yellow use sepia/brown wash applying thinned coats and increasing the amount of layers further into the creases to enhance the shade. For a more vibrant yellow mix up an orange wash or heavily thin an orange paint and apply it in the same manner.

For the underside of the robes I'd use bone/cream for the drab yellow or pure white for the vibrant yellow.

For the eyes I think a dark red or green would really stand out or even purple.

Just my opinions though and there are plenty of people on here who have a better grasp of colour theory and what works than me

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I will go with a brown shade and cream under-robes. Red eyes will look good with the black armor I think.
