Lord of Those who are Proud: Nolzur's Efreet

[Rigel]

Extraplanar beings are diverse. I've painted several red fiends, and some green, blue, and purple spirits. When I came across this sculpt in the FLGS, I decided to try a new unnatural complexion for this devilish-looking entity, without any red whatsoever. It was fun! Only regret is that there were some great exposed back muscles that are harder to see now because I decided he needed wings (graciously donated by 039988, Bomber Sophie).

More angles:

 

Spoiler

The garment was a good opportunity for gradients, but I can't help but feel there was a missed opportunity for a pattern. I'm open to suggestions!

Fair warning: while this mini looks rad, there are areas underneath the skirt that are almost impossible to reach with a straight brush. Hard to notice from most angles, fortunately, but another instance of a common oversight on the company's part. 

Appropriately dramatic glamor shot:

Great job!

Fantastic skirt! And yes, he clearly needed wings because if you had not told me, I would not know it didn't come that way .

[Hibou]

The skirt looks amazing.

Wow, looks great! Would not have expected such a size difference with reaper's efreeti, he looks so wimpy!

Yayy! I have succeeded then! (Really does look better with wings, imo.)

Oh, he's a big boi by tabletop standards, at the very small end of Large or the very large end of Medium size. About 8 or 9 foot in scale...but yes, Ziba makes him look undernourished! She's a VERY imposing figure.
