Help with painting color / Reference images

Hey guys,

I was talking to player support and they pointed me out you here to speak to the devs, I was hoping that I could pick your brain on some reference images. I wanted to paint all the figures, but I don't have any great reference photo's, do you have any images that would help me get a better color match?

I've linked an image of my first attempts on 5 testers, they need some touch ups, and I'm going to change the shield and armor color, but these could look really nice once I've finished them. http://imgur.com/Ecf9CSx

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

We actually tried our hand at painting some of the pre-production minions and this is what we came up with. Keep in mind though that these are on unwashed minions (the final minions have a slight wash).

There's also a thread about painting minions over on bgg with techniques and such.

Here's the model up front: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d1/Minions_Blue%26_Red_Melee.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140716162800

And here's you can see its back: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/84/Minions_Red.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140716163132

There are also purple ones: http://imgur.com/a/ajyxl

Hopefully that's enough, but here's the wiki page for melee minions: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Melee_minion?file=Minions%20Blue&%20Red%20Melee.jpg

I think you need to add wash
How do you like citadel vs Vallejo or Army Painter?

I think you should consider using a color wheel and generally choose colors that complement on it. You can go with the in game colors or use your imagination. I hope this helps.
