Thanks for looking. It is supposed to be a hunchback with the seemingly obligatory modesty loincloth hanging down the front and back, probably to fill in the void between his wide spaced legs. The loincloth is painted black. Unless he's trying to look sultry with a split gown effect?(yergh)
The thing on the staff is a clear, red plastic winged demon or gargoyle but it's left hand just ends in a stump it seems. I like the clear colour so I'll leave it but I might paint up the pedestal and your idea of some lighting effects on the staff might be the go - depending on my skills.
I have a number of D&D monkish/cleric types already that are grey/black/brown so I was hoping for something a little different. Then again, grey or brown might suit him.
And yes, the popeyes are terrible
BTW your dreamblade repaint is much better than the original :-)
