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.
