ES54 - Ral Partha Winged Panther

[TheOldGuard]

Greetings!

 

I've just finished this Ral Partha oldie from my collection - ES54 Winged Panther.

 

I went for a naturalistic black panther look but with a bluish sheen to the highlights (a bit like you sometimes see in movies as they're prowling through the jungle!). The wing skin recesses are actually a really dark red/brown but you can't exactly see it on these pics.

 

Interestingly, the blue highlights seemed a lot bluer after I added the static grass to the base.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Excellent job!

 

I've got this figure waiting for it's turn in the paint line. I'll be referencing this when I get around to it.

 Always loved this guy. Old-school classic.

Great Work!

 

Somewhere, in a Dragon magazine, there's a few pics of one of these that was done for a GenCon, back in the day...

And this creature has re-emerged!

It is featured in the new Disney Junior show Elena of Avalor.

 

Nice job here.

Very stealthy.

I like this guy a lot. It gives me ideas so I can finish mine.

Thanks all!

Very clever idea to highlight with blue, I think it looks excellent. Also the green grass on the base creates a nice contrast.
