Crowley's King in Yellow

[Crowley]

Because I couldn't not start a new project (or two of you count the Halloween Knight) days before ReaperCon...

 

Kinda liking the Orange to Green to Purple of the tentacles. Needs cleaning up though. 

 

And these are the colors used so far. Sideways apparently...

He's looking great, David! Those colours work really well together. 

Lantern Yellow. 

[Cyradis]

That is a properly villainous yellow for the figure!

[Crowley]

Tonight's progress. I think the mask needs a little work, but I'm not sure what.

 

Also not sold on the eyeball on the top of the staff.

 

Thoughts?

[Loth]

Gloss up the eyeball and check it out.

 

Looks good,

Just to save some necks from being kinked:

 

 

Edit:  Oh yeah, this guy is looking pretty sweet.

He looks fantastic! I will have to remember this when I start painting mine again.

[Glitterwolf]

Great!

[Rob Dean]

Nice!

 

As an aside, I guess I keyed in on reading "yellow", 'cause I read the second tag as "Disciple of Citron" at a glance...

[NecroMancer]

I like it a lot! 

 

I am still debating whether I want to get the Dreadmere Expansion to get this guy as he really stands out to me in that set.  I wonder if the Bones will look as good as the metal.

[Crowley]

Okay, cleaned up the book some more, redid the eyeball, and touched up a little on and around the mask.

 

The tentacles still need... Something. Blending maybe? And I need to do the stitches on the sleeve. Wondering if the book mark should be purple...

 

Thoughts? Criticism? Suggestions?

[Cyradis]

Boring critique: more highlights. Keep in mind, I'm a notorious nitpicker. You may not have interest in nitpicking so hard. You are invited to nitpick the heck out of anything I do. 

 

I like the color setup you have going. Each region could use a touch brighter at its high points. Even a thin glaze of something like leather white or ghost white + midtone at the top parts of the tentacles would help; if you do it more on one part of a curve, it will seem more curvy. You could even pop in some more dark gray/blue/purples in the creases too. Linen white + that mustardy color, glazed a little on the robes will make it stand out more. The bookmark doesn't need to be purple, but if you shadowed it with purple glazes, that could be sweet. A tiny dot of darker yellow on the corners of the eye will help it look more rounded. 

 

Looking great so far though. Keep it up and this guy is going to be mighty scary!

In the few minutes between dinner, and taking the dogs to the sitter, I added a couple layers of highlights to the yellow. Really does pop... We'll see what I can get done at the Con for the rest. 

 

Thank you for the nitpicking!! 

[Cyradis]

Woohoo! I was useful! 

 

I bet this dude is getting even creepier. He is creepier right? His robes are going to fly up and there is going to be tentacle-splosion? Wait... that's some awkward animes... 

[Talae]

I think the highlights on the cloak of the King could come up a little, but that the shadows need to be more pronounce/deeper...maybe all the way to brown liner or something crazy dark. The tentacles could come up a ton on highlighting so that they look almost shiny, depending on the feel you are going for.

 

I love the mini and you have a great start!
