Frost Giant Jarl

I am the ... Jarl? What the heck is a Jarl?!?!?

I'm on a Giant roll, it's the Frost Giant Jarl Boerogg Blackrime. Reaper makes 2 old-style Frost Giants, this one and the Princess from a few days ago. I figured I'd finish off both of those first. These are more tribal and a bit smaller than the Viking aesthetic the other 4 Frost Giants in their line. I'll probably paint the other 4 similar to this one, but I'll still use them as Cloud/Storm Giants in our D&D campaign.

This sculpt has a few things that annoy me. He suffers from a common problem with the old Reaper Giant line, he's staring at the ground. I guess that would look good if you put a player character in front of him, but it made it really hard to photograph his face (and detracts from the miniature as a whole). The other is his sword is kinda hideous. A third, bonus issue, I had with him is that his fetishes are not too defined.

I painted him with the same color pallette as the Princess. Lots of shades of browns with pale bluish white skin. The skin was painted white, followed by a thinned down flesh wash (1:1), a thinned down blue wash (1:1), and highlighted with Pallid Wych Flesh.

BTW, I know a Jarl is a Norse Chieftain, I just thought it was a funny word. :-)
