Gandalf the Grey

Another go at Gandalf, this time the GW version. This is a beatiful, detailed mini that I was saving for a time in the future where my painting skills could match such a fine sculpture. But the opportunity to paint it to enter an online competition presented itself and I had a great time trying to match the colours to a picture of Gandalf that I found in Google. The contest was a fraud (the organizer never updated the site since then nor did he replied to my email) so half a year later I think it's time to update my gallery with it. I'm particularly happy with the NMM on the sword and the weathering effects on the robe. The base comes from Groundforge.

I really like the robe, great colour and nicely highlighted. The travel stains are a very nice touch. The skin of the hand looks a little red, not sure if tha'ts the photo. Very nice job overall, sorry the contest turned out to be a bust.
