The Green Goblin is one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes and has become an icon in Marvel Comics. If you need some inspiration on how to paint yours, here’s how I painted my version of Norman Osborn, The Green Goblin.
Green Goblin
- For the iconic skin tone of the Green Goblin, I basecoated all of it in Games Workshop Warpstone Glow and then sketched in highlights with GW Moot Green.
- For his cloth, I painted it exactly like Lizard’s pants: Vallejo Game Color Hexed Lichen and then Vallejo Model Color Blue Violet.
- I painted his hoverboard with my usual comic-style combination of Pro Acryl Brown Grey, Pro Acryl Bright Warm Grey, and then spot highlights of Pro Acryl Bold Titanium White.
- I chose not to highlight his pumpkin bag, and just left it after painting it with GW Kantor Blue.
- For his pumpkin bombs and exhaust from his hoverboard, i based them all with Vallejo Game Color Glacier White because I knew I was going to use fluorescent colors, and those really benefit from a light basecoat. I then used PA Fluorescent Orange and PA Fluorescent Yellow over that light basecoat.
- Finally, I painted his base with Glacier Blue and used black ink to line off the model and the base to finish it up.
