Alkemy: Suleman Ghulam

[JackMann]

One of my players is playing a Rakashan in my Savage Worlds game. They're basically a cat people race they tossed into the core rulebook so they wouldn't be stuck with just elves, dwarves, humans and half-orcs.

 

When I got a box for the Khaliman Republic faction in Alkemy, I had the perfect mini for his character. Meet Khaja.

 

 

The fur went from pure black to walnut brown to rainy gray. I think it helps break up the pure neutrals with a little warmth.

 

 

Basing was done with one of the Basius basing pads (Ruined Imperial Highway) with an etched brass vine added in from a GW basing kit.

 

 

You can see a bit of fingerprint there in the back. I should have let it cure completely before starting to mess with it, but hindsight is 20/20.

 

 

I painted most of the figure first, before attaching his sheathed dagger and tail. Otherwise, it would have been too much of a pain trying to get to the details under them.

 

 

Tried for a bit of a gem effect on the sword. Didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but it's still better than a pure blue would've looked. Something to improve on.

Awesome mini.

[Corporea]

Great work! The black is very convincing! I like that mini- very dynamic!

[Colonel Kane]

Looks good. For some reason I keep thinking Thundercats.....

[Talae]

Looks awesome! I would love to have more Rakshasa minis for my Eberron games (even if my players don't agree).

Very nice. One of the next things I'll have to learn is to paint "black" and highlight/shade it.

Looks like a good job to me. It's a shame the Alkemy line died out, I'll have to a look out for them.
