This is my third commission piece done for a client who's an all-around great guy. He loved the vampire wizard from Reaper but wanted him to be a Lawful Good Healer human instead.

No problem, says I.

You can see the original piece here in the Reaper store. I used the spear top from a weapons pack to replace the top of the rod, cut off and filed down the cowl, dremelled out the skull, de-batwinged the girdle, carved off the fangs and rebuilt the lips, and puttied in a lot of the holes and tears in the fabric (but not all).

I was given free reign over color selection (did I mention how cool the client is?) so I went with something close to the picture in the handbook the class is taken from. The green in the front shot is a little darker in the shadows than the model (the lights weren't behaving) and the shading on the white didn't turn out quite right, but overall that's how the finished product looked.

The freehand on the trim of the cloak and on the back of the neck was all done in brushwork (no Micron pens here, thank you very much). The Unicorn is a symbol of the healer's deity, and I thought the gold trim on the bottom helped break up the huuuuge area. I would've gone for something else but the folds were a little intimidating. All in all a challenging project which I really enjoyed doing.
