Death Dealer / Ral Partha Superhero

I'm a product of the 70s/80s Dungeons & Dragons generation. And very few figures are quite as evocative as the Frazetta Death Dealer! I recently was able to purchase a couple of Ral Partha old figures - the Superhero and Mounted Superhero - both replicas of the Death Dealer.

I've finished the painting of the standing figure. I attempted to get some of the coloring on the figure similar to the paintings. I used glazes - ivory over a metallic painted shield to have a white pearling, blue over the dark metallic armor and on the axe blade. Finally, some OSL glaze of red around the eyes.

Next steps are varnishing and basing! Then on to the mounted figure...
