Empire Captain - Complete

Firstly, I need a bigger junk box.........

Finishing touches, Yellow plate on his front, some more highlighting on the gloves, Ivory/bone handle and skull on the shield.

Shield was scorched brown/black base as with the gloves but was highlighted with increasing amounts of bleached bone. To keep the colour really wooden and not leathery... if that makes any sense.

I was worried how the wood would turn out but it looks ok! Not totally happy with the yellow plate thing.... I thought about doing a quarter design with purple but I think the purple would just not look right on the light base required for the yellow.

I made the skull a less realistic looking bone because i reckon it is not really bone? how can it be in that shape!

base i just going to be inked brown and drybrushed, nothing fancy.

really enjoyed painting this guy!  would maybe pick blue next tiem for the shirt to contrast with yellow, or maybe do the cloak a different colour from the shirt.
