Eldar Harlequin Death Jester

[skrit]

Hi, over at CofC we did our second mini exchange and this Harlequin Death Jester I painted for Nameless:



Pic taken by Phil, I've made some myself but unfortunatly cannot find the cable I need to upload from cam to computer. :bonk:

The idea for the Death Jester was that his cloak represented the Aurora Borealis and the pins on his hood represent the stars in the skies. I also for the first time did some freehand (checker pattern) and also OSL which for a first time I am quite content with. I also made him a bit dirty (most Eldar I see are mostly very clean) as if he had been fighting hard in an urban area for a prolonged time.

And if you care, votey linky to CMON:

Looks fantastic! Very nice work on the freehand. I'll be honest, i'm a tad bitter since this is one of the models i'm working on and now i'm competeing with this beauty

Very nice! I always like harlequins, especially the dark sinister ones. You've done a great job here accomplishing that. Also, the base is wonderful.

[jabberwocky]

Nicely done--the weathering is good and I like the basing.

Have to echo the thoughts on the gritty appeal, excellent aesthetic in my book.. reckon the matallic gun barrel/whatever is a bit lacking in the same feel and contrast, imho i'd have a tone going from light to dark along it's length

hi Tim good to see you here again, I love the DJ but for me the weathering over the diamond pattern on the leg is a little too much and obscures it a little too much I know it is a taste thing but after all the work you put into it I would liked to have been able to see that part a bit better. It could just be an old man's eyes though not seeing it properly lol.

Look great, not so keen on the addition of the blue, but then I'm an old school kinda guy.
The weatherings great, if a little much over the chequers.
Great job overall tho.
