Reaper's Mellonir Windrunner - 2120

Mellonir Windrunner takes the concepts from the Templar Knight and applies them with just a bit more care - time on this was about 8 hours in total. Again the highlights are to white on the cloak. Not so on the other colors as I think it would take away from the overall appearance. However, they are do span a complete range from dark to light. The wooden shield was a new first - after viewing several other painted shields by well known painters, I approached this one differently. Instead of dark base with different colored lines as in the above Templar - I went with a dark brown base, then a thick light brown, then a medium brown within the light brown (see my painting instructions below). For comparisons - see the 2nd Templar pic or the 3rd Orc picture from below to get a view of the backside of shield and compare to the 2nd and 4th pic of Mellonir Windrunner.
