Spring Exchange - Xiang Lung, Chinese Villain (Picture heavy)

[Pochi]

Evilhalfling was my exchange recipient for the Spring Exchange. He asked for something with an Asian flair. I thought this guy had a lot of character and would be fun to paint. I was right....mostly! He had a little metal bump on his right eye that I didn't know was there until I was painting eyes. It kept catching the paint and making him look cross eyed no matter how many times I tried to fix it. So....he got a gnarly scar and a blind eye! That'll teach him!

 

I put a little magnet on the bottom so he can be swapped out with O-Sayumi (the other mini I painted) on the little display base. I wanted to do some freehand on his coat but I couldn't find a pattern or design that I liked and thought I could pull off. He did get a tiny Yin Yang symbol on his belt though! His monkey is a Chinese Golden Monkey.

Thank you! That is nice of you to say but I still have a lot to learn!

The scar I ended up liking since the eye wouldn't cooperate. I thought it gave a little something extra to him and could make for an interesting chapter in his back story.

The cobblestones I made by cutting shapes out of a cereal box and gluing them down. I glued sand in between and then used some turf and tufts. The water is resin with some green wash in it.
