how to paint this? any ideas?

i have been asked to paint this as a commision for hasslefree.

any ideas as to how i should do it? i want to stay away from the whole GW imagery of a trollslayer.

i was thinking of black body paint with a skeleton body paint motif over the body.

or maybe something more Illyad games style?

Ilyad style sounds good. Or maybe with some white/grey hair to pass him off for some kind of ancient veteran.

maybe you could do a bit of maori style.. with that style of tatoos as I know you're a good freehand painter.

ok well i've shelved this one. started using some new brushes and they just did not suit me oh well
