Huikong

Here's another investigator from C:DMD:FotU, and he's painted pretty much like the character appears in the game art. The character is named Huikong, and his ability in the game is to mitigate attacks made against him and redirect the monsters away. I tried some different paint techniques with this one, starting with a lighter base instead of painting over black, and it turned out resoundingly "fine." I'll probably go back to my normal black primer in general, but the bright orange robe really does pop.

If you were worried, which you're not, Huikong does still count as a mystery man, as the "elderly martial arts master" is a long-established pulp trope. (Also, I don't want to add a new category to the year-in-review page.)

And if you see that little bit of dried paint around the base of the model, don't worry about it. I cleaned it off right after I saw it in the picture. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
