I found this figure rather interesting. When I bought it, there was not much that sparked my interest, and I even prepared it to be painted (attached to base and sculpted the terrain) because it was a quick and easy job.

However, when I started to paint, I began to get into the figure. My first instinct was to make it a very gritty fighter. When we think of undead hunters, long leather overcoats and dark colors are the stereotype.

But as I was working on it, I began to think that if you were a warrior fighting undead, you would be decked to the teeth with holy items. Holy Items, by definition, are often brightly colored.

Slowly this figured turned more and more like a paladin of Pelor. Pelor, as god of the sun and enemy of the undead, is all about the yellow. This was the birth of the yellow cloak.

Wanting to freehand some, I started to paint a sun on the back of his cloak, but quickly I realized that I had no idea how to paint a sun. However, I remember reading how to draw a rose in 5th grade. I found myself painting the rose, then spreading this design throughout the rest of the armor and the inside of the cloak.

I am really happy with the way this figure came out. The extra bones helped to define the undead scene I pictured in my head.

The picture seems to muddle the lines between the boots and the ground. I'm going to say to myself that the boots are covered in the wet clay.
