From PeteF: Grayscale Necromancer (25 points)

 

"Looking at the cake is like looking at the future, until you've tasted it what do you really know? And then, of course, it's too late."

Painting in greyscale is hard! This is my attempt for the Chamber of Darkness - I'm calling him a necromancer as one one day I may do a SAGA Age of Magic undead warband. If you're of a certain vintage you may well recognize the model's likeness to a 1980s Arthurian wizard. Excalibur being one of my favourite films, I had to get this model when I did a Studio Miniatures order a while back.

"I have walked my way since the beginning of time. Sometimes I give, sometimes I take, it is mine to know which and when!"

I like the way the Painting Challenge challenges - this one taught me that I have a lot more to learn about light. And painting in greyscale. Hats off to people who make their greyscale figures look so good! I suspect I'll keep on working at this model - I especially want his headpiece to look more metallic.

One 28mm figure plus room bonus for 25 points.

"It is a lonely life, the way of the necromancer... oh, yes. Lacrimae Mundi — the tears of the world."
