Hackmaster/Ral Partha Human Barbarian

[72moonglum]

Hello guys and gals,

 

on my continuing question to keep painting some iconic and classic Hackmaster figures, I finally got this fellow finished, a barbarian that has some kind of resemblance to that one little cartoon barbarian kid in the old D & D cartoon:

 

 

He's kind of lank and lean, not a huge, thick muscle bound barbarian, even though he doesn't really have any body fat going on.  I wanted kind of more natural colors for him, and tried a pop of color with his moneybag, and I think I ended u with the metal being a tad too blue, but that just seems to be the way I'm doing metal nowadays.  He's got his weapons, a money bag and a rope, so not too overly laden and pretty fun to paint. Enjoy!

No no no, this is awesome. Every time I see your name I have to check it out. Your colors are so good.

Cool, does this mean I’m infamous yet?

Infamy starts with one heart, one mind, one set of eyeballs, so I’m on my way!

Lol had to laugh at the cartoon reference — he does look like that kid grown up! Very nice work. You have a very neat style with nice smooth transitions.

Yeah, can't get that barbarian cartoon kid out of my head when I see this mini!  And the mini itself has kind of a cartoony look too. I think it comes from that bulbous nose..
