repaint of D&D Village Priest for a Pathfinder campaign

[dks]

I am playing in the Pathfinder "Ruins of Azlant" Adventure Path campaign.  A few of the PCs have some healing magic, but we didn't have an actual cleric until a PC recently took the Leadership feat, and an NPC cleric joined the party as his cohort.   (Click here for the Show-Off thread about the figure that I use for my character.)

The new cohort-cleric, Father Kurvis, is middle-aged and acts like a curmudgeon but has a kind heart.  He worships Abadar, the god of cities, law, merchants, and wealth.  Abadar's colors are gold and black, and his holy symbol is a golden key.

Our GM has an extensive collection of prepainted plastic figures (D&D and Pathfinder), and this Village Priest seemed appropriate.  It is from a 2005 D&D miniatures release.   I offered to repaint it to be specifically Kurvis.

Two hours of slinging paint got me to "finished" ... and after I took the first set of photos, I saw how bugged and asymmetrical his eyes were, so I just spent a few more minutes touching them up.

 

Before and after:

 

 

 

Enjoy,

The eyes are everything, and yours look really good man. For tabletop, this will make someone’s day.

A vast improvement in every way! Great zealous eyes and crisp delineations on the vestments.

[Glitterwolf]

That's a huge improvement!

 

[Warlady]

Sooo much better than the original!

[Iridil]

Wow - what an improvement! His face really says: curmudgeon plus!

[paintybeard]

Such a good face.

That's just not fair :) I wish I could produce repaints like this. Especially at just 2 hours. Not fair. Not fair at all :)

When you do a repaint like this, do you put a coat of primer on first, or paint directly over the existing paint?

 

And, of course, I agree with everyone else, it's fantastic. Love your work, Derek.

Added the props to the painter.

He has a very "get off my lawn!" look to him.

Great work improving on a prepaint.
