Oni of Souls

This is another mini model from CMON's game Rising Sun. I'm guessing this demon is something just made up by the game makers. But in General Oni are:
... born when truly wicked humans die and end up in one of the many Buddhist Hells, transformed into Oni. They become the ogreish and brutal servants of Great Lord Enma, ruler of Hell, wielding iron clubs with which they crush and destroy humans solely for enjoyment. An oni’s job is to mete out horrible punishments such as peeling off skin, crushing bones, and other torments too horrible to describe to those who were wicked (but not quite wicked enough to be reborn as demons themselves). Hell is full of oni, and they make up the armies of the great generals of the underworld.
This model is on one piece soft plastic, sort of like the old green, toy soldiers you played with as a kid. I'd rate it a five as some parts of it are intricately detailed, while other details are very soft.
Having heard about CMON's funny business with their Kickstarters, I'm less enthused to paint them. I have two on the table and most likely these will be the last ones I do.
But anyway:
I started out with a green that looked too blue, so once finding the color that more closely matched the pic in the book, I carried on.
A few sessions later I was done. Just a regular paint job, of base coating, washing in shadows, reestablishing the base color and then a few highlights. Thanks for looking.

Thanks very much, guys. 
Or is sick a better word?
