This final piece is one of the biggest pieces that I have painted, a horrific depiction of a red-skinned demon.

This model is not mine, rather I was commissioned to paint it. The owner had few stipulations, only that the skin
was red and the armour was gold. The hardest thing about this piece is its skin. The reason for this is that I
aimed for a well blended skin tone that would show off the detailing on the rest of the model. There are also several
blood veins that pop out slightly on the casting, and I wanted to accentuate those as much as possible.
The armour on its chest is painted to look like an aged gold, which matches well with the skin tones, and compliments
the beast's jaw.

This is the head of the dreadful axe that it carries. The way that it has been painted is supposed to have to opposing
textures clash to draw the eye in. The two opposing textures in this case are a wet flesh tone and an ornate brass tone.
The very tip of the blade has been modelled to look like a skull from a great beast, with a metal blade sticking through
the end. I chose to make the blade at the tip appear rusted, while still having the bones highlighted against
the rest of the axe.

Another technique that I tried with the head of the axe was to paint a dryed leather texture, in addition to rusting
the blade in a different way.
Lastly, I believe that the best part about the model is this shoulder piece. it took about two hours to finish
the gold effects, after which I accidentally spilled red ink on it. I carefully repainted every bit, and decided that
I enjoyed the red ink to stick out in certain areas.silver has been added as a slight highlight, to make it appear rustic.
