Dark Sword Wizard

Dark Sword minis are always beautiful to paint, be they humans, humanoids, or anthros.

 

This is one of their many wonderful wizards.  I went for something a bit different with this fellow, with light coloured clothing, but using purply-brown shadows to give some fairly high contrast.  It helps give a "travel (or battle ?) worn" look to the fellow without resorting to wear and tear effects on the cloth which I didn't want.  It also avoids using mud and dust effects which I am never brave enough to try !

 

The cloak as seen from the back is deliberately cleaner.  Like the archetypal aging wizard, Gandalf, this fellow is sometimes a weary, far-ranging traveller, and sometimes a powerful and charismatic court figure.  Sort of two wizards for the price of one, I guess !
