I had the painting bug last night and picked this guy out of my many unpainted miniatures. He was purchased many years ago but only ever got a little primer slapped on him. He's about an inch and a half tall to the tip of his hat and I decided that he looked more like a hedge wizard than a court wizard, so I went with earth browns and leaf greens with a white cloak trimmed with grey fur and instead of the expect grey and white I gave him blonde hair. He's got a blue and gold wand and a blue bag of tricks for some colour "pop". I painted him from start to finish last night using Reaper Miniature Master Series Paints. I love the paint selection from Reaper and the quality is second to none.
He's not perfect by a long stretch, but he's one of my better efforts. I used a wet palette for almost the first time and I gotta say, it's the best method out there for this kind of start to finish work. Being able to go back to paint I put out hours ago and still have it as pliable as when it first came out of the bottle is a huge improvement over a dry palette.
I hope you like him!
