Of course everyone in Hell will want a brand new Saw doll for Christmas lol

I'm thinking about using this guy in a Christmas Game of Spinespur.

If I don't he'll just sit on my shelf and look seasoned....

That is some fantastic shading on his red suit!! I ALWAYS have a hard time shading reds. How did you do it?

Same question with the awesome glass in his lantern!!!

Have a cool Yule.

I painted the red with GW foundation red (has some strange name I don't remember) and then gave it a wash of brown and painted it with the red again... raised areas got a mix of P3 red (khador red I think it's called) and the GW red. Then at final smearing of watered P3 red.

I think perhaps that the trick is to avoid white/whiteish at all costs! It'll turn everything in to pastel. You could easily go with another highlight of perhaps orange.

It's pretty straight forward but glad you like it.
