c0ldethey Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Goofy sculpt! I very much like how you finished the base; looks great (I'm a sucker for well made scale flowers...). The model itself has a solid paint job: The fur and hair look especially good. The only suggestion I would make is that a couple areas look too flat (the boots and the metal) and could benefit from some more washes/dry brushing to make them pop a bit more. Also, he needs some gore! Look at the rage on his face; Get some glossy transparent red and splatter it onto his axe and shield, maybe add some hacked off body parts to the base! Go nuts! It's those little details that give the model a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the comments, boots would have been made from animal hide ?, so would that not be a matt finish ?, will add some dry brushing to his metal chain mail, i had envisaged him as shouting from a mountain top that the 'Vikings are HERE, run while you can' lol 🙂 , but may add some 'dried' blood to his axe from his last battle.

Many thanks. I meant flat in the sense of low contrast (sorry for the confusion!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
