Hulkster Barbarian

My four years old nephew also wanted a hero for himself to bring at home, so I (sadly) decided to gift him a barbarian and paint it with the scheme colours he preferred. For this one I didn't use an original miniature bur a resin recast instead (so you can notice some air bubbles on the model). After seeing some photos on my pc he sayd that he wanted his character as strong as Hulk, so I decided to paint the barbarian skin in green and he totally agreed. I wanted to paint his pant in violet but my nephews insisted to make it brown.
In the end, he looks like Blanka from Street Fighter 2.

earlier his eyes were yellow/red

Heroes... part 1

Now that I felt more comforable with the brushes, I decided to start to paint the heroes. I've seen a lot of Heroquest heroes painted all over the net and for sure many of them are painted way better than what I can do, so the only chance I have to let them stand out of the masses is by using some unusual color schemes... or at least this is what I tried.
As for the wizard, usually I've seen him painted like the one on the side of the game box, where he is wearing a white suit instead of the yellow/blue used on the top cover of the box and on the character's sheet (and also on the new wizard's spell from Wizards of Morcar pack); so the first approach was to use the Les Edwards color scheme as reference.
Instead for the barbarian I tried to go out of the schemes and so his hair were painted red! I mixed some red to the skin tone too to give him more color and create some contrast beetween the skin and his pant. I also tried to paint the sword in blue but without good results (I will re-take it later).

he still had cat eyes here
