Val Kraihe 'The Crow' Assassin







Studying one of the thousand aspects of Khaine the child only now remembered as The Crow has become an outcast in the fraternity of assassins. While meditating on the Khaineth Zarrid (a death blow that shatters the spinal column) a crow entered her enumerations and posed the assassin a riddle.

The child assassin unable offer a response, barred her throat for restitution. When she awoke from her trance the child assassin found a pair of knives resting in her lap, but had lost her voice to the fled crow.

Ever divorced from her elvish anima, the assassin has taken on bestial aspects and become an outcast among her own kind. Her silence has been replaced with a hideous squawk. Her feet have become elongated ending in talons. Her back has become bent, a low sloping gait replacing her race's usual elegance. With her knives she found that she could leap further, and higher than before. Her precise killing excellence had now become a frenzy of blows landed from above.

Rejected by her peers and mutilated by her masters for her deformity, The Crow now occupies the highest spires of Naggarond maddened by the riddle of the crow.

Looks great. You have a very subtle painting style.

Great painting, where is this model from?

+1 on Xenocidal Maniac's comment. While I would like to try cartoon style or what Girlpainting calls 'comic book' style painting later, I prefer subtle and realistic color painting like this.

It's amazing

Nicely done, LL! Great cold colors on this guy.

I expected a really lame Brandon Lee homage. This, on the other hand, is totally sweet. It kind of has an Oroku Saki feel to it, but that is far from a bad thing. In point of fact, it makes me like it a bit more.
