picture picture I'm looking for comments on this figure. I'm not quite sure if I like the paint job over all. I'm not sure if I like the skin tone. What do you guys think? -Joe |

I think he looks great! The skin tone is fine. He looks suitably barbaric if you ask me. Perhaps your issue is that for some, barbaric = norse, and norse = fair skin & blond hair, and you went with black hair. I have no trouble with black-haired barbarians, and I don't think they "must" have deeply tanned flesh either. I'm a red-headed, freckled Norwegian barbarian myself (6'5" 300 lbs), and no amount of time I spend outside will ever turn my pale skin to tanned. I'm either pale or sunburned. : ) |

I like it, too. Not a huge fan of the sculpt (what's with the skinny ankles?), but the paint job looks excellent to me. |

While the skin tone looks fine on the PC I'm wondering what kind of light you are looking at it in? What ever the case go look at it in different light… yes you should look at everything in a different light. PJ |

The picture was taken in sunlight. This is one of the first figures that I have painted in natural light. -Joe |
