I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it. I then glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue. And, when the glue was dry, I put it in my Citadel painting grip.
I began by painting the entire figure with Americana "Charcoal Grey". When dry, I gave the entire figure a wash with Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.
When the wash was dry, I drybrushed the entire figure with Folk Art "Barn Wood". Next, I painted his eyes with Crafter's Acrylic "Wild Green". I then painted the centers of the eyes with Reaper MSP "Dungeon Slime", and then added pupils with White.
Lastly, I painted the figure's base with Americana "Raw Umber".
I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish. Then, when the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base. Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".
While not the perfect Cortiki, I like how this figure turned out; and it was a nice simple one to paint up that responded well to drybrushing.
