94th post - Painting Denethor! (tutorial)
So, here I am presenting another painted miniature, this time is Denethor!
As said in the 92nd post, I was going to try a little different thing with the base, and I can say now that was a success in my opinion.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the painting, tough i didn't got the desired effect on the fur, but well, that's a process that comes with time.
Compared to other models, this one wasn't that fun to paint due to the boring black/grey/white colour scheme, although the face has a great amount of detail, making it the funniest part to paint.
