    Hi all,
    I just finished this one today. A few touch ups to do here and there after I put it on a wooden base (lovely white metal figures :( ). I think the weathering on the cape may be a little harsh and I may tone it down a bit but overall it's done.
    As always it's all in acrylics, feel free to comment or critique honestly.

    Thanks for looking in,
    Andrew

    Hi!

    Very well done!! I think that this figure needs some skill in his painting beacause is very dark, but to avoid getting dull some nice painting details are needed.
    I think you've done a nice job.

    Regards

    You did a stunning job. The leathers and the dark color scheme is perfect. Will you please share your colors with us? I have this figure in my wbench for the future and yours will be a great help/guide/reference...

    Lovely work Andrew.
    As far as the weathering of the cape goes perhaps if you darken the bottom and/or lighten the top to look like wet and dried mud it might soften the appearance a little.

    Very nicely done using a subdued palette. In my opinion the weathering on the cloak is fine on the photos but might look different in the flesh

    Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, it's not my preferred scale.

    Arxo, the leathers were just a combination of dark browns and golden blonde tones occasionally a bit of a red or orange thrown in but not much. I used the same colours for the boots and pants just in different ratios. Sorry I can't be more specific but I never write down my mixes, I prefer to just play around till I'm happy with the colours.

    Andrew.

    Very good paintwork on this figure.
    Like the dark clothing. It does justice to the figure.
    And indeed the weathering should somewhat downtoning
