| After posting this in another thread I am now considering scrapping this and starting over... the pic and my pose have a completely different lower body... and i was going for a very close conversion... so its kinda dissapointing i missed this...
sigh... maybe he will end up as a klaivex... | |

| I am very glad that you stuck with this conversion Massaen. As I and others have mentioned in your P&M thread, you have captured the image of Drazhar extremely well and created a beautifully dynamic model.
He's painted very crisp and clean. Fairly simple with limited colours, and muted highlighting I personally like, but the overall effect of the black and white really makes him stand out.
And those gems are brilliant! | |

| beautiful conversion. I love the painted version too, and think the colors fit him well. The only thing I dont like is the weapons themselves, as I think they should be longer. But this is still the best conversion Ive seen of that pic by far. | |

| This piece has actually inspired me to want to make my own Drazhar conversion and use him. I wasn't particularly impressed by his codex entry... but this model would make using him worthwhile! | |

| I really love the dynamism you have given to the model, you've captured what Drazhar is about.
My CC is that the snowy base makes the overall model look very monotone, how about a bit of clumped grass poking through the snow or some flayed flesh on the body to add a third colour. The white on the armour is very crisp and clean but maybe a more gradual gradiant could give a more natural look.
Not trying to detract from an exceptional conversion though, well done. | |

| Thanks guys!
There is a skull on his base but is very bleached so your right... the whole model is very monotoned...
I was considering a splash of blood on the nase and one of the klaives... | |
