Sepia tone: Basic recipe


I tried out some colors from my paint rack to test some sepia tone palettes. This is my first try and probably the one I'll stick with when I paint up some of my pulp stuff. Here are the color I used (Vallejo Model Colors):

Black
German Black Brown 150
Chocolate Brown 149
Flat Earth 143
Increasing amounts of White + Flat Earth for highlights

    I think you should go with an off white rather than a pure white, maybe even consider not using any white.

      I'm only using the white to lighten up the flat earth. I won't be using the white by itself.

    Nice, I like the sepia look a lot. Next up is going for a desaturated, 1970s tv look ;)

      Oh boy, now that's a challenge. I have one or two ideas on painting my zombivors for Zombicide, but I might actually have a go at the "desaturated' look.

    Such a simple idea, but fantastic in the execution
