Captain Dish Rag

Painted Spring 2013

We needed a mini for a paladin-knight-NPC with a mysterious background-- he'd later join our party as a powerful Battle Mind. I had been admiring this sculpt for awhile and figured it'd be a great way to try out two techniques:

Practice Study: I left his face shadowed and focused on my first attempt at TMM. I wouldn't normally choose white for the drapery, but wanted the challenge of painting white cloth.

Lesson Learned: Next time, I'll try a linen white. While his cloth needed more interest, painting two red stripes made him look like he was wearing a kitchen towel so I dubbed him "Captain Dish Rag". Still makes me smile.
