I wanted my finished piece to represent my roller derby family, so I chose the colors of one of my affiliated leagues, pink and green. The metallics came from the Expo Punk Box. I made a wash out of the Dragon Black, thinned with water, for some extra accents.

Rock troll painted in the original quad clash fashion of 4 colors only. Lots of creative mixing with layering for highlights.
Crystal caves troll
Crystal Zalewski
An attempt at a "painterly" approach to painting up a nasty ol' ghoul. Primarily used 09061 Linen White and 09070 Mahogany Brown to mix up different steps in the lighting. A bit more expressionist than my usual base coat + wash + basic highlights technique.

I mostly was inspired by Mike Cousins class about the comic book style painting. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try something entirely new throughout the weekend and implemented a little bit of everything that I've learned. I wanted the Thrasher to have a very dramatic color combination that I loved and add a dramatic cell shading/highlighting until I was happy with it.
