Well, I know that many people don't like this new miniature for Confrontation, so here are few words what made me paint it.

I liked the sketch, very much, when I saw it for the first time. You can see it here. Then, after one week I saw the miniature and I was surprised. What the hell they did with it? Why they ruined it so much? OK, I started to feel like if I can do better than them, just by paintjob. So I ordered one.

First I started with lowering it's head, to the pose it would look like he is just reading the scroll, or preparing for new glyph to write. Than I thought about how to paint him. And I decided for him to look like old insane shaman. So I did his hair almost white. Other colors are mainly selected from natural colors, so he fits into "barbarian feel" of Keltoi. The base I did in the same style as for Tanath.

Well, I hope you like it.

Honza, You astound me. Not only did you write a great explanation, I checked out both extra links, and I must say my rating is on two things: an exquisite paint job, and your ability to take an otherwise pathetic attempt to capture a cool drawing in miniature and restore it to glory through excellent conversion work. Well Done!

Why it is at eight, frankly people have become too cynical and cannot see good work when they see it. Now I did like it myself and will probably paint it in the near future

great mini, great paintjob - I especially like the bottle. And, yes - they screwed the mini - the sketch is far better than their sculpt.
