Blood Angels Commander Dante

This model has been painted as my first commission for Slave to Paint and was a good opportunuty to paint a very nice model. Even though I have the Dante model myself, I've not actually painted it! The brief called for a relatively standard appearance. The main differences being the pale-skinned death mask and red/blue/green tri-coloured purity seals. Two things I probably wouldn't have done without prompting, however I think the death mask especially looks very interesting. I also had to perform some rhinoplasty on the model! When I received the model he had a flat nose which I proceeded to mutilate when attempting to 'fix' it. a tiny bit of greenstuff and you can't even tell!

thanks for your comment Brother Az but i disagree. the death mask shouldn't really be gold, despite obvious posable misreadings of it. i think the brief to include the flesh coloured mask was the best part about it. the model looks totally unique and better, in my opinion, than the traditional colours. if it should look less flesh like then it should be white like one of those porcelain masks that thespians hang on there walls.
