Thanks!
Ok, just gotta tone the back of legs down a bit more , and a little more dry brushing left to do, and the Hell Hound is done.
Then onto the death dealer…

Stupendous! As I said, this is my favorite of all your paint jobs.

When I first saw the rework, I said "oh no, that beautiful paint job", but this may be even better!

[barad_dur]

Thanks guys!

I am getting better at re-creating original paint jobs after I mess it up by additional modifications or just over-painting.
(Probably because I have had so much practice due to my frequent mess ups!)

After THIS MASTERPIECE, you are no longer allowed to complain about your painting skills - because this is absolutely at the level of any of the "Masters of The Hobby" (at least as far as creatures go - human figures present their own set of challenges). No one could have done a better job on this creature than you have done here!!!!

Thank you for the very kind words Overspray and Vlad.

I still have some dry brushing to do for the Hell Hound, but went ahead and started blocking in base colors for Death Dealer.

Slowly making progress on death dealer.
I gotta pick up the pace as I am way behind where I need to be to get my 5 planned kits for Wonderfest done.

[bucketfoot-al]

Holy cow that's a lot of ambition! Good luck, I hope you get all five of them ready for wonderfest!

[tay666]

Just keep plugging away and things will come together.

That is looking really, really good - meaning the paint up of the "Death Dealer" ... wonder why the sculptor made the head so small, though?

[barad_dur]

I think the problem is that I made the resculpted right arm too big versus the head being too small.
I have been debating reworking the right arm , but hoping that after I get painting done, it will not look too out of proportion.

[tay666]

You might as well just do it.
You know you are going to anyway. No matter how well the paint hides it, it's gonna bug you.

[barad_dur]

Hah, you are right….

THIS ....

But is the arm really too big? Or do you mean too long? Because girth-wise, it looks no bigger than the left arm. Same with the fists. Or is it an optical illusion of the camera I'm seeing?
