Painting the Eureka Frogs
These are the steps I used for painting the frogs. As mentioned a few times previously, I did a large surface area on these with the airbrush to speed up the large areas that I had to paint, which could be covered and highlighted a lot quicker than with a brush.
Back markings (Airbrushed):
Base - Calthan Brown and Red Gore (1:1)
H - Khemri Brown and small amount of Red Gore
Some dots of latex masking fluid were put over the area to later create the dots on the back.
Belly (Airbrushed):
Base - Bestial Brown and Tausept Ochre (1:1)
H - Kommando Khaki
The belly was covered with a layer of masking fluid to block out the area I wanted left 'white'.
Skin (Airbrushed):
Base - Chaos Black, Warlock Purple, and Camo Green (1:1:1)
H - Camo Green
H - P3 Sulphuric Yellow with a small amount of Camo Green
H (Brush) - P3 Sulphuric Yellow
At this point, all the masking fluid was peeled off, leaving the previous two layers to show through.
Eyes (Back to the paintbrush from here on in):
Base - Skull White
S - P3 Sulphuric Yellow
Lip highlight - Camo Green
Toe Webs:
Base - Bestial Brown and Tausept Ochre (1:1)
H - Kommando Khaki
Wood:
Base - VMC Dark SeaGreen with a small amount of Dark Angels Green

Wash in patches with Thraka Green and Devlan Mud
Leaves on the branch and drum cover:

Finally, all the green skin areas were given an oil wash made of black and magenta oil paints.
