Raptor Rider

[Sean]

I posted a couple progress photos of the raptor a while back and have now finished the rider.
I'm not to happy with the way it came out. I was getting a bit impatient and made quite a few mistakes. One being I didn't like the skin tone so I stripped it down and started over. Still didn't like it so I tried camouflaging it with some Celtic war paint! Didn't quite have the effect I was hoping.
Only my second figure so all in all, I not to disappointed with it. I'm learning a lot about painting figures so that's a good thing!
Any comments, suggestions are welcome.
Enjoy!

I came here to see a cool pickup truck!

I will readily admit I was pleasantly surprised.

Excellent work! Ya, that ain't no pick-up truck, HA!

Looks cool...are you going to add the reins...?

Yes I'm planning to. Was trying to decide if I should use real leather strips or painting some aluminum foil.

Unusual piece.
Nothing wrong with that at all.

You have our rapt … attention!

Figure painting is a true art, and if this is only your second figure, your work is going to be amazing. Looking forward to more!
