Painted Emperor Palpatine

Dark Blue/Grey vs. Black

I did some research before painting this miniature. After a quick browse of Google Images, I found a blog post where someone had painted Palpatine in a dark blue robe rather than in black.   The logic was that Vadar would be in jet black, and hence they used a blue/grey so that Palpatine would stand out.

There’s no dry brushing on this model – all layering and some blending.
