rex_lyver Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 This was a replacement figure for the Spring Exchange that I painted for Krztoff. Krztoff has a Necropolis army going, so I decided on painting up Moandain. I used fairly stock undead colors and kept the base pretty generic in hopes that the figure can find its way into Krztoff's army. Undead skin is always a bit of an adventure for me - for Moandain I used a number of inks to try and get an uneven tone, then highlighted to white. It came pretty close to the image I had in my head. I don't get an opportunity to paint undead figures very often - it was a nice change of pace. A big thank you to Erin (CuteButPsycho) for organizing the Spring Exchange. I'm glad I was able to help fill this exchange assignment. Comments/suggestions welcome Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 That's a beauty! Hadn't seen the sculpt before either. It's absolutely excellent. Who's done it? Edit: Sorry used the picture finder, Julie Guthrie. Wonderful sculpture. I really like the paintjob to but I'm to lost in the world of painting to somment further than that I'm afraid...

fieldarchy Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 It is a good sculpt. It's a Guthrie mini Bodhi. Very nice paint job! As for undead skin . . . I recently discovered that the bone triad is good for this. It works really well. Start with a darker shade of bone shadow and highlight up to white. It's a nice sickly color.

Versutus Vulpes Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wow - the highlighting on this guy is fantastic. Especially the blue and the book. Nice work on the skin as well - the raised hand is amazing - your painting on this mini does a great job of bringing out the detail in the model without 'eating the scenery' so to speak...

tanker22 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Looks excellent! Nice job on the NMM and the flesh looks outstanding. Like the colour choice as well, pretty flashy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Oh nice! Very good skin-rot! I'd suggest next time darker sahding on the gold. Wow is that a fantastic rendering of what eventually turned into my arch-nemesis on the Warlord table! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists Wren Posted September 12, 2007 Artists Share Posted September 12, 2007 Super paint job, everything is so nicely detailed. I like the skin, it's subtly creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 This kicks serious butt, rex. I don't even play Necros, and I want it! Beautiful work, from the color choices to the execution. ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krztoff Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I can thank you enough for this gorgeous mini! It rocks! I was going to post it once I got the light tent set up so that I could take a pic that does it justice. Sooooooooooooo pretty.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 As usual, a great piece of work. I really like the book. The skin is very well done, I guess for a bit of variety you could glaze with a gray-green (maybe lichen moss from RMS). In truth, I like it as is though. As a nitpick, I would suggest a little weathering along the hem, but that is just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the subdued base. It lets the model be the focal point, as it should be. It also means you have a legal model for play.
