The First Entry of Challenge XV - Dante Alighieri, author of 'The Divine Comedy' (25 Points)

Hello!

Welcome to the fifteenth edition of the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge!

Following tradition, I scramble to welcome all the participants of the Challenge with the first entry. This year our theme is Dante's 'Divine Comedy' and so I thought it only proper to open the way into the Abyss with the man himself.

This is a 3d print from the talented folks at Claymore Miniatures. It's a nice rendition of Dante based on the painting by Domenico di Michelino. 

I started blocking in the colours a few days ago and so I will shamelessly claim the 'Limbo' theme for this entry as a previously started project. Still, I apologize for the rather impressionistic brushwork but as I was on the clock today with other tasks and so I was moving fast to get it completed.

As to points, this is a 28mm figure, so that's 5 points PLUS 20 for the Limbo theme location, making grand total of  25 to put me on the board. I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to be a long slog to 800 points...

Also, as a reminder, participants are free to submit entries whenever they wish over until January 1st. I'll be holding down the fort during this time as the Main Minion and am eager to see what people come up with over the next few days. 

Happy Holidays! 

Again, welcome to the Challenge!
