60082 Vordakai, Cyclops Lich

[Dr Boom]

I originally got this mini when it first came out and really loved it back then. An upcoming Skull and Shackles adventure requires two undead cyclops, so I sourced another one. This figure has so much fine detail as well as a lot of wide open spaces to practice blending and freehand. As an bonus, I've included a pick of the original one so you can see whether I've improved over the x years since I got the first one.

 

Firstly the new one. Mostly based on the painted version in the webstore with a few extra touches.

 

 

And the original, mostly based on the artwork in the Pathfinder adventure.

 

 

The original looks like it might have spent a few thousand years in a dusty crypt somewhere, and I do like the subtle patchiness of the paler blue robe. Still I like the more recent one better.

[Glitterwolf]

Both awesome, the newer one is my favorite.

[Loim]

Really excellent work. That freehand is great. 

[Poilu_1914]

Outstanding freehand, I need to get a wizard and try that starfield effect.

[Iridil]

Really like them both, but the freehand on the newer ones wins it for me. Great base on the older one as well - nice pair!

[Mystikant]

Really nice work on both. You can see progress, the newer has more detailed and fine brush work and popping colors, but I like also the color scheme of the older version. 

 

I've got this one in my painting queue, but I haven't had the courage to start it yet, because I know there's a lot to paint. And you've already painted two!
