Skull Flayer / Risen Protector


Recommended Posts

I always found it strange that no Okotoan villager corpses rose from the dead in the city of the mask makers, so I decided to rectify that. 

 

While intelligence never was a characteristic of the Skull army, their members were more or less coordinated and had some grasp of tactics. Not the Skull Flayers, however. Erratic and completely unpredictable, the Flayers made up for their small, frail stature with lightning speed and a ferocity that would make even a Skull Scorpio tremble in fear - provided they even feel fear, that is.

This is a small, not too elaborate or ornate build, but then it isn't supposed to be. I tried to replicate the asymmetrical armor design seen on Skull Warrior and Skull Slicer. I half built this for the reason of testing out how those weapons in that config actually look like on a model. I also tried to replicate the shape of the protector mask with the black horns sticking out backwards. The back-armor is supposed to give Flayer a hunched back. The butt-gear serves no purpose other than aesthetic.

I feel that shorter limbs would have served this model better, if only to make it more protector like, I also feel that the horns might look better if they were wider.. It would mean swapping the trans yellow for something else though. Purely as a skull army villain though I do like what you're doing for this build, it's got the right feel to it with the orange and the silver bones.. Good job.
