Reaper's "Dark Maiden" as Demonic Construct

[CPalmer]

Ever since I started working on my Frostgrave waterfront (http://onemoregamingproject.blogspot.com/2016/01/making-frostgraves-harbor-part-iii-final.html ) last year, I have thought that the Reaper "Dark Maiden" figure would make a cool addition to my Frostgrave figure collection; taking the roll of either a dockside Construct, or even a Wraith or Demon.  I was lucky enough to pick one up in a trade a while back, and it's been lingering on my painting table until I built up the courage to tackle it.  I finally decided with the River scenario from the Frostgrave Thaw of the Lich Lord  supplement on our schedule for next month, that it was time to build up my courage and tackle this beautiful figure.
 
In mulling over paint schemes, I decided that I wanted to do something like the grayish-brown of the masthead shown on the shipwreck of the Charlotte during the opening scenes of the movie "National Treasure."

  This seemed simple enough, just some brown and grey drybrushing over a dark base.  The hard part was going to be that I wanted to make it look possessed, with glowing eyes and glowing swords; and Object Source Lighting (OSL) still is not a strong technique for me.   In the end I'm really happy with how it turned out.   While I wish it had turned out a little more aged grey, and less brown; I still think it looks properly demonic.

Good job on one of my favorite figures!

That is really, really cool!

I think it looks great!  Your OSL is certainly better than what I'm capable of at this time.

That is too damn neat...Great construct for the future Pirate supplement coming out...

Great work on the paint. Simple, yet very effective!

Thank you all so much for your kind remarks!  I'm really looking forward to a chance to get it in a game.

Ooooh! Now I have an excuse to get another one, and paint it up with a sand/beach themed base!

Everytime I come to these forums (which is often!), there's another idea or mini that just impresses the hell out of me.

Today, it's this one!!

Well done.

Nice work, the look of dried out wood and the green "possesion" really works well

Thank you folks for the continued positive replies!
