Syriak the Intrepid

Here is another wolfen that I did shortly after my solitary wolfen 2. Once again, he is fluffy!:D and once again this is a new pic of a model I've had up for a while. This one I went for a real contrast between light underbelly and darker greys on the back. This one gave me more trouble than the solitary wolfen and there are a few aspects I'm not too happy with. So here goes:

Good bits-

I personally really like the way his fur has turned out, especially on the front as I think the muscles come out as well defined.

The picture doesn't do this justice but I also think I did a good job of the skull he is wearing - I shaded it with a bit of purple ink on the top and I really think that brought the skull out nicely. I also built up the skull using layering rather than drybrushing and this has given it a much smoother look than some of my earlier attempts.

I'm happy with the stone croissant as well-I like the colour transitions I got on that.

Problem areas-

The NMM gold on the gauntlets is not one of my better attempts-not really sure what went wrong there.:(

The snow on the base- I didn't mix enough of the snow into the glue and it looks a bit too dirty to me.

The eyes- I had trouble with this and I think he lacks a bit of definition in his face becaus he doesn't appear to have eyes (on the sculpt they look like they've been burned shut!).
