Force Commander

Here's the commander I painted for the Bolter and Chainsword's contest. I knew what color scheme I wanted right away (similar to the Slaanesh Lord I'd done a while ago), but couldn't for the life of me come up with a chapter name/iconography. Eventually, I settled on the "Crimson Lily", based loosely on Weis and Hickman's Knights of Takhisis... This entire project was an exercise in patience...trying to push my skill to "the next level." I think I succeeded, but I still have a long way to go. This was also my first major NMM project, simply because it would force me to concentrate on my blending. I am particularly proud of the flesh tone...which was a rather unconventional technique for me: I didn't use any of my regular flesh colors...or at least nothing with the word "flesh" in it.

Amazing! I got to see this one first-hand at GD Atlanta and let me say that it is even more impressive in person. Good work and congratulations on your Demon.
