14. Hajad the Pirate--from the Layer it Up! kit

-
Hajad...an untrustable rogue and pirate, but handy in a tight situation







With just some washes, Hajad looks good before any detailing at all...but I will put him in the WIP category for now...(below).  I was originally going to make him black, but i didn't think you could see the moustache I wanted...



Ib decided Hajad is not black, and has a moustache.  Of course, he looks much better with a little detail--I'm still exploring the Camera+ 2 app for photography
I do have to say that all of the figures I've painted so far look WAYYYY better at arm's length.  This picture is taken at about 2' range compared to the one above which was taken at about 6"

According to the scheme of "Painting levels" (because I don't think these look particularly awesome in Macro photo mode) this means I'm panting at level 4 on that scale.  I hit all details, use more than three color, use at least four layers of highlighting/shading, and am working on blending colors.

Here, Mordecai shows that he is in motion, planting his lead hoof on the skull of a vanquished foe before launching into a RAGE fueled leap of fury and death.  I mean, look at the skulls!  I love the huge orc skull behind his tail... I can never decide which backdrop color i like best--Yellow?  Red? Maybe this blue-grey backdrop is the best--it looks like storm clouds His Demonic Battle Rage is barely in control, war-chant r...
