Happy New Year everyone!

This one is a fantastic figure from the Alkemy game by Kraken Editions. Sculpted by Allan C!

I've been meaning to paint this one for ages, so I finally got around to it over the Christmas and New Year's break. I painted it for fun, as a bit of a holiday for myself, haha.

I think the Avalon figures with their vegetative symbiotes from the Beathacrann present a very interesting contrast between hard edged armour and the plant-like tentacles, so I tried to play on this contrast using a very tight red-green colour scheme. Using such a limited palette can be an interesting painting experience, and it can create quite a dramatic effect I think.

There are more photos on my site.

Superb. Love the dynamic colours. And your bases adds so much beyond the mini itself. Thanks for sharing.

Superb! The part I dig most is the bright green loincloth. I haven`t given it 10 mostly because you showed that you can do better . The minor things I`ve noticed are that the face doesn`t "pop" like in most your works and brightness contrast on some metallics parts could have been deeper (it`s simply my preference). And I agree with Kacpero that belt looks slightly like from different story. As usual I love the basing you do!
