Some other angles I took of it. Super happy with how the cloak, skin, and leather flaps turned out!

I entered a John Blanche themed local paint competition and entered two categories (small single and diorama) Managed 1st place in both!

A miniature model of a monstrous, hunched, and ghoulish vampire king that is standing menacingly on top of a crumbling set of ruined stairs overlooking a lake of swirling blood. The ruin is littered with bones and debris, with the vampire's blood red cape and loincloth draped over the steps. Bright golden bangles hang from the creature's thin wrists as it holds a brilliant golden skeletal scepter in the crook of its long and corded arms. The creature stares at the viewer with beady, white eyes deep-set into a thin skeletal face, with a blood red gem embedded in its forehead and five bony spikes that protrude from its scalp, giving the impression of a morbid crown fused into its head. The creature wears several massive pelts over its hunched back, with gibbering skulls and screaming faces of the dead and insane tangled within the long and matted dark purplish brown fur. The model is extremely warm in tone, consisting majorly of off-white bone colors, blood reds, and vibrant orange and yellows for the golden adornments, with no blues or greens to be found. The coloration gives the impression of a cloying heat, an uncomfortable atmosphere of humidity born from the blood lake, with the smells of iron and rancid meat hanging ever present in the air.
Finished this John Blanche-style Ushoran for a painting competition at my local gaming shop. I'm really proud of how it turned out!
Ma'am you are a scholar and a saint. Keep doing what you love!
