Colore ton Monde: April

First off, a few WIP shots of the Samurai I have chosen for this month's Colore ton Monde. I was initially lacking inspiration for this, but the muted/darker base coat with brighter (really bright) highlights seems to be working out better than I imagined.

In the end, it was a rather simple job of watered down base coat, light inking, then highlights.

Then, the final mini. I have not finished the base, as I don't know how I want to base him yet, as along with the other Samurai and oriental figures I own, i have no gaming use for them. As yet. I suppose for him to be 100% complete, I'd have to paint his spear, but I think I'll leave that off for now, for ease of packing.
