Kingdom Death Man Hunter WIP

Prophecy's got it right, think along the lines of VMC Neutral Grey.
As it is a REAL Neutral colour it is a good grey to mix into a colour to soften without altering the colour temperature.

So I have paint on the entire mini. No more primer! That's something, and I think I can see the end of this guy now. Still LOTS of work to do in areas. Don't like the gem effect I tried, going to redo it as suggested (TY Mike!) and all sorts of other work. The parts I am dreading are the base, and the eyes. I want to do a glowy blue OSL effect on the eyes. I have never done that, so it won't be any kind of extreme effect for sure. The rope needs work, especially the noose, and all sorts of other areas to go back and forth over. Anything else? The to do list is....
-Eyes
-Bracelet
-add more highlights to rope (esp noose)
-work veins on arms
-add some highlight to arm flesh
-smooth out calf on pants, and add a few highlights to the lower half of pants.
-add some edge highlight to the belt on the hat, and the belt with the stakes in it.
-try to do some highlighting to the jagged holes in the jacket.
And of course any and all suggestions and crit's appreciated.
Ack! That first pic is very poor! Bad angle, and bad pic all around. Yikes!
Thanks!

This mini is turning out really good.

Yes and you're gonna hate me for this, but:-
Holes in the trousers need a flesh tone to fill them in. (and thats gonna be some hard and careful work)
On the figures right hand (the one on the Scaffold) is it bandages I saw? If so then more work for you there.
Under the wooden spikes a 'shadow line' might no go amiss.
Also on the opposite side to those spikes the junction between Coat and skin could do with strengthening the shadow.


As for the base I'd strongly suggest that you make it reasonably plain, something like Pavement, Flagstones or Cobblestones. And try to keep it slightly darker than the figure.

nah, he looks like the type to be wearing stockings underneath those trousers!! maybe paint some sort of fish net design!

and a second vote for flag/cobble stones on the base

Thanks guys.

Flesh tone in the holes eh? Ugh.... Lemme see. That's gonna be a bit of a bitch.

For the mase I was thinking of a plain one, but I'd like to keep it kind of a scorched redish awful looking blasted earth thing, as that's what the Kingdom Death landscape sorta looks like. For a reference I was going to copy the base JBT did for his Furgol in the DvD he put out. It's very simple, it's milliput textured with a rock for the surface, not much too it at all.

Thanks for the points there Mike/DR, i'll work on those.
