Undead Royalty

Here is my first entry for the Iron Painter comp...
Undead Royalty
The theme was purple so I went with the royalty theme, trying to paint a tyrian purple for the robes and making the armor look clean and shiny.
I loved this mini, it\'s a very old GW mini, he was holding an axe and had a few lame details but I managed to change things around without them looking to crusty... lol
I know the base is too plain, I didn\'t have enough time to add more to it, and with other projects on the table I didn\'t feel like adding to it before moving on.
C & C most welcome, always looking to improve!

Love it - it\'s super clean and really smooth.

Superb job, Kinda makes me glad I didn\'t get my submission in on time. You\'d have flattened me with this one!

i really like the staff on this mini a lot!
So, the top of the staff is completely hand built? or is it a bit that you moded? love to hear a little about it.

great job btw!

I absolutely love the dark tones in the robes. They compliment the nmm very well. The staff is rockin\' too!

A good 9 for me. The overall effect is very good.

Love the staff. Is this from the old Circle of Blood campaign pack?

I\'m not really sure if this mini was part of a pack or anything, all I know is it\'s over ten years old, I got it in a blister with another undead dude in some bone armor, and it\'s GW and probably made of lead... that\'s all I can remember lol
Backstabbeth - he used to be holding a silly looking axe, but I just replaced the top, the only part from the axe that was still there were the skulls (I can\'t sculpt even that well yet, hehe)
Thanks for the comments everyone! I really should write an article about how I do my marble effects, everybody asks about it and it\'s really not that hard to achieve it.

8.5 - 9 for me. I feel like the base lets it down a little.. allow me to explain, the painting on the mini is superb, but the painting/modeling on the base is not to the same standard. Really great job tho! just M2C.
