Hi Folks,
Here's my latest figure; Castellan Crowe.
Overall I'm happy with how the figure turned out. The cloak would look nice with a bit of freehand - but I left well alone as the folds would be tricky to maintain the image. The sword was tricky too as the 'cyphers' inside the sword blade were very fine and it was difficult to apply a glowing effect.
I am happy with how the white parts of the armour came out. Using Space Wolf Grey as a shadow helped to add depth whilst using pure Skull White as an extreme highlight helped make the armour pop. I'm also pleased about the red of the cloak - I used Asurmen Blue to shade as an experiment and it seems to me that it's more complimentary shade than black. The last element that I enjoyed was using a Non Metallic Metal approach to the 'gold' on banner. I used Scorched Brown, Vomit Brown, Vermin Brown, Golden Yellow and Skull White and while I still need some practice it looks better than some of my earlier attempts.
I hope you like him but I'd like some comments or criticisms so that I can take them on board for my next mini.
