CoolMiniOrNot - Flower Knight (part 2) by Graphigaut

Flower Knight (part 2)

Hi all!

My new paintjob done for the Painting Crusade IX, won bronze in Master.
This mini of Thomas David is awesome, one of the best I've ever seen, remind me my hours passed playing Final Fantasy!
Many hours of work on it, the idea was:

"Whenever he passed away, on earth or in the sky, flowers grown, he is the Flower Knight."

Hope you like it, comments are welcome!!
Other views in the next montage.

Super boulot, choix des couleurs difficile et audacieux TRES bien traité sans mauvais gout, très bon équilibre, mais... seulement 9 car manifestement la pose de la fig sur le socle souffre d'une impression de deséquilibre: la posture ne convient pas à un support autant pentu et donne du coup l'impression que la pose n'est pas naturelle sur l'axe gauche droite de face comme sur de profil l'axe avant arrière... dommage

Outstanding. Fantastic colors. It can be a bit much at first glance but this is a really awesome piece. The base is very nice as well. It has lots of movement to lead you into the piece. Before I read your description the first thing that came to mind was Final Fantasy. (Any of them.) This sculpt looks like something inspired by Yoshitaka Amano's art. And last but not least the free hand on the folds is very nice.
