Saruman today. Another Copplestone figure, this guy was a pleasure to paint. Lovely sharp detail and nice deep recesses, the figure lent itself to my painting style rather well I think.
The robes go from black through to a very light cream (GC Off White). The high contrast may not be terribly realistic, but it does make the detail on the figure stand out easily from a few feet away.
I made an effort to paint eyebrows on this figure, which was a bit risky. Mainly I did it because the look of the character when played by Christopher Lee in the movies relies heavily on the big black bushy eyebrows and black ‘tasche. So I thought that I would give it a go in 10mm for fun.
I think that this is the figure that I found most enjoyable to paint in this project so far 🙂
