Morphus

This was a commission job for a friend.

The figure is Morphus, from the Enigma 'Massive Darkness' range. The head is from an Alkemy mini though. Normally the head has a chainmail cap, but I removed that and gave him some hair to blend it into the original figure more.

I decided to try something a little unusual with the colours. I used some colours I would normally avoid, like the sulfurous yellow. I wanted to use some sort of 'controlled colour clashes', to try to create a slightly unsettling or disturbing feeling for the mini, to suit its subject.

For the armour, the highlighting goes quite extreme - not quite to the point of NMM though...somewhere in between NMM and a normal surface. The idea was to try to give the impression of a hard material, with the sharp points of light.

The stuff on the base is lichen/moss stuff btw - I know someone is going to ask!
