Also, even though I already weathered the skull, I need to darken it some more, so that's on the to do list now.

Thank you! Sanding the halo is a huge pain in the ass lol, but it's going to look so good when it is done.

The crown is a replica of the crowns from the movie The Green Knight, the overall character design is mine.

Looks awesome. Reminds me of Arthur's crown in The Green Knight. I love your style!

Thank you! The crown is actually a 3d print i comissioned of that crown! Absolutely loved the costume design in that movie. The paint will be similar to Gawains crown, faded and tarnished.

Loved the direct reference to royalty being portrayed in medieval paintings with halos to illustrate divinity, and the costume designer putting the halo directly into the crown is just incredible.

So I liked the idea of an undead king with a crown and halo. I have a back story kinda started up for the character. It's fun!

Hell yeah! That movie was incredible, and I agree about the art direction and costume design, it was such a strange off kilter vision of medieval decor. Grats on such a beautiful piece of art!

Thank you! I can't wait for the finished piece!
