This figure was made and painted for a player character, the character being named Tremion. Tremion is a kensai.
This figure actually has an interesting history. I was looking for a figure to represent an elven samurai in the game called Eto. When I found the Tsubasa Kuokami figure, I thought it was a perfect match and I ordered two, one for Eto and a second just for future painting if I desired.
When I got the figure, I quickly realized it was perhaps even a better representation of the character Tremion.
After I completed the Eto figure, I talked to the player of Tremion and got some ideas. He said the character relied only on how sword, a massive katana with a six foot blade (I forgot the proper name of such a blade). He also wore gray robes. I was hoping for more flair in the colors, but he was set on the simple gray robes.
One thing I did not want to do was make this figure and the Eto figure copies of one another. The first change was easy, I chose a different head from the Luthor Firebrand figure.
On the Eto figure, I switched the scabbard out for an elven variety. Because this figures sword was suppose to be extremely long, I used the piece I had removed from the Eto figure to lengthen this figure's scabbard.
I also decided to have Tremion's sword outside of the scabbard, I use two katanas from the Reaper weapon pack to build his massively long blade and lengthen the grip.
I stuck with a gray color scheme, as the player wished. I did incorporate some brown and gold to lighten and warm the figure up slightly. I chose a subdued green color flock to prevent the figure from being overshadowed by a brighter base.
