The commission work for this summer is nearly done, but I've slowly been finishing off The Darkness box too.
This is the last model, and a pretty fine one in my opinion. The Bell Crow is the box art for the set, and I was very taken with it. Could be an escapee from the Dark Crystal, or an optional boss lurking at the corners of a Dark Souls level - either way, it's a great, gloomy, ghastly thing, hulking miserably without any dynamism in its pose, but still looking horribly threatening somehow.
I took my time over this one, it's been on the desk for nearly two months. From a zenith basecoat of white and black, I layered various inks, washes and paints over the top, and it's turned out well - fun to try to keep the darker shadows on it, as it's not quite as big as I'd hoped. Great Unclean One size would have been perfect, it's more of a Daemon Prince as it is.
That's the whole set done! No idea what to do with it now. It looks great and has some very fine proxies in it, but nothing I couldn't already cover really. Keep it as some proud painterly achievements? Or sell it on eBay and convert it into something else? Any suggestions?
