This is a terrific sculpt, one which I loved from the moment I saw the green, so I was very pleased when Dark Sword Miniatures offered me the opportunity to paint it. (You can take a look at the studio photographs.) The skin and muscles are a major focal point of this figure, so I spent a lot of time on that. I wanted a very tanned and rugged looking skin, so I started by mixing an orangey-brown into my base skin colour. The same green used on the bracer was mixed into the skin shades, and the skin was glazed with an even orangier-brown. I used a lot of glazes on the figure - the main red and green colours were glazed on to the earth and rocks, loincloth and weapons to tie the colour scheme together and weather things a little.

Excellent work Wren, the skin is brilliant. It has that tanned/weathered feel to it without looking to orange, perfect for a barbarian. I also really like the NMM on this one, very convincing.

Now this is Barbaric Splendor! Great skintone, and the overall color scheme works great. The hair really has warm, rich tone to it. I like the eyes - they are done so he is looking up as he leaps and not down at the ground.

Those muscles are awesome! Great job overall. Something about his face bugs me - I think it is the superhero jaw, which is more a sculpt issue.

love the sculpt and love what you've done.. got a real richness to the skin and the muscles are defined great.. the only thing that lets it down a touch for me are the eyes they're just a touch large and stary if ya know what I mean?? other than that great work..
