Acolyte Miniatures - The Butcher

I painted this miniature for the ''All the Shades of Grey'' competition. Although it was possible to use all monochrome pallets, I decided for the ''Sin City'' style - B/W plus red. The Butcher was an experiment in many ways: -First time painting reduced palette, Black, White, Red, as shown in the last picture. The red was also only used for the blood an exposed muscles, everything else is just black and white. -The base is a complete freehand. (which propably would have worked out better if I'd have used more than two colours) -Painting different materials while using the same colours -Painting an unusual light source. I tried to make it look like there was a lamp behind his back, I think it worked quite nice. It's a bit sad that the butcher is an obvious digital sculpt. Some details really could hve been sharper. Hope you like him, open for c&c!
