My second Daemon Prince is finally completed!
I used the same basic techniques to paint the skin but slapped on a couple more layers to further lighten the skin tone
I used the same blending effect for the wings where it starts from dark red at the top to blood red/orange at the bottom
Check out the ripped muscles on the back!
The overall lighter shade of the skin color really makes the muscle paint-job pop as compared to the previous DP that I painted
However the shading effect isn't obvious in all the photos as my phone camera isn't exactly top of the line
Stop staring at his butt!
The other side...
A bird's eye view..
And here's a picture of the 2 daemon princes side by side.
The new one, is in reality, visually much brighter even though they look pretty much the same in the picture.
I like how the one on the left looks like he is taunting his opponent while the one on the right seems to be rallying his minions! ^.^

Fully painted, varnished and based!
There are some imperfections in the model as the entire figure, including the base, is created out of epoxy putty.
Took me about 20 hours to paint this guy.
Most of that time was spent on adding thin layers of paint to shade the muscles and wings.
It was alot of fun painting this model, and painting muscles is a first for me.
Huge wings! I compared it to the standard pose on the original model and the wings on this is more extended in comparison.
I am glad wings do not count for Line of Sight purposes.
I really need to make a lightbox.
The wings are blocking the light and makes it pretty hard to appreciate the shading on the muscles.
Did a blend of dark red, blood red and orange fire to achieve the gradient effect on the wings.
The underside of the wings are shaded in the same way.
Decided to make the blade black so as to contrast with the lava effect etched into the blade.
Did a similar lava effect with blood red and orange for the chaos sigil on the shoulder pads.
Used shining gold to colour the markings on the legs.
A closer look at the head and body

Started painting my casted daemon prince.
This will be my practice piece before I move on to paint the original model.
Thus far, the model has been primed black and base-coated with black and dark red.

Added wings to my casted daemon prince
There are patches of grey on the wings because I used modelling putty to fill gaps caused by imperfections in the mould
Here's the casted daemon prince standing next to the original one

Made a near perfect copy of my recently bought Daemon Prince!
This was done using Oyumaru (similar to Instant Mold) to create the moulds from the original parts, and then using Epoxy Putty (the kind used to plug leakages in your bathroom pipes) to make the parts themselves.
Did a little bit of sculpting to repose the figure and had to sculpt the fingers on the left hand as the fingers on the original part was difficult to duplicate using my casting technique.
Deciding if I should mould and cast the wings for it....
