Dirty SoBattle

Had to use a eight to ten year old camera and tried about every type of lighting imaginable. Not sure if I could get a decent photo to save my life. :(

It probably looks better when shrunk to the actual mini size.

Currently the armor goes from brown (rust), to light blue midtones, to pure white highlights. Black lining didn't look good. Maybe it should be shaded with a darker brown?

Yes, the middle part is the loincloth with shading from a dark mahogany to vibrant orange highlights. The photo color is slightly off here.

The figure is for display, although it doesn't have to be a Golden Demon winner. May do 3-5 of them as a unit. Below is the very first mini that I ever posted on this site. My only goal is to improve. :)

i think that for such bright minature you got enught of "dark linking" using just brown
on such off white armor (mix of grey , bue /white end white ) this rusty color mey look realy cool as battle demage or rust / chiped paint effect
end about thi 1 SOB .. well ther is huge defrent :)

Test piece that was done this morning. It is still a little rough. This won't be finished simply because it's a pre-primed eBay figure with a bunch of imperfections (bottom of the hilt, lots of mold lines, etc). It's mainly to plan out a color scheme for the Seraphim unit. Also thinking of changing the orange cloth (first photo) to a dark purple or olive green.

Feel free to post harsh criticism on this stuff as long as it's constructive. If there's no feedback, I'll just presume I'm on my way to painting some Golden Demon winners. :D
