Title: The Merchant of Backwater

This piece was one of particular interest for me. I remember the first time I saw it I just had to paint it. It seemed so odd but had so much personality.

 

The very last picture: The last picture is of the bottom the base. I used this wood chip from a woodcrafters store. I'm fairly certain my grandfather - who lived in Tulsa OK until his death - went to this store all the time. He was Sales me by Trade and a craftsmen by... other trade. I thought it fitting to use this chip on the Half Orc Merchant. 

 

Thank you all for the support. I have procrastinated photographing this for various reasons but he is finally done. Hope you enjoy.

Exactly what I was going for. I usually do some in the not so bright range but I'm trying to break out of those comfort zones.

Thanks, honestly the hardest part to choose. I was originally going to go with green.

Appreciated. I used it on a piece I'm still working on and it worked well there so I tried it here. I use a neon orange and deep brown for the transitions. Although I feel it like the lightly patterns off a bit, but it doesnt look horrible. Progress not perfection, right? :)

Thank you Iridil. The free hand took a few tries. I was going to go with scales but could not manage to freehand paint one that I liked so I did a diamond instead. He's a fancy fellow so diamond is more apt I think. :)

Awesome! Great color choices. All of him looks great but I really I love how the details on the puffy sleeves really pop.

Thanks! I really had to mull over it for a while until I decided on a color I liked.
