This is the pack of Armourcast Hostages, that is currently available from Hasslfree in the UK. I painted them real quick (in one evening, IIRC) last year for the warehouse hostage game I played with Combat Zone and posted about last year, but I completely forgot to take pics of the hostages at the time!

Just basic colours, a wash, and a tiny bit of highlighting and detail, followed by some protective varnish.

I like the mauve hair, red and purple shirts and the business woman-kajira. The purple shirt is especially good.

You need to sort your depth of field out on the first photo. Skin tone looks rather yellow in the photo, which is actually quite interesting -what colours did you use for them?
Like the colour of the ropes too.

Overall a really nice group, with some good precise brushwork.

Not read any of the the Gor books for ages :)

Yeah - I need to use the multi-focus thing on the camera. I'll try and get better pics. I have just today received in the post a pack of low-energy daylight bulbs, that I'll add into my photo setup, along with some tissue paper to diffuse the light as well. That should help with the colour balance a little - these photos were taken with regular low-energy bulbs and Paint-Shop-Pro's automatic photo fix functionality :)

The skin was painted with Citadel Bronzed Flesh, I think, and then washed with a couple of slightly thinned washes of Coat d'Arms Super Wash Light Brown and then lightly highlighted again with thin Bronzed Flesh.

I think the ropes where just which with Coat d'Arms Super Wash Light Brown - I was planning to do more, but like you said, I liked the effect so stopped there! :)
