Old Whateley

This is one of main characters from H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror". He's easiest the best miniature I've ever painted, I love how he turned out:

Sweet. Is he a wizard of some sort? I love the details on the tome especially -- the bindings and it's general wear and tear.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

First of all, the tone is the "Necronomicon", the most powerful book in the world!

But no, he's not a wizard, just a man with a walking stick. There aren't any wizards in Lovecraft's universe, and all spell involve summoning/control/banishment. Anybody can perform those given the proper books, however, they tend to go insane. In the game version, every time you cast a spell you lose sanity points (you start with up to 100, and it's very difficult to regain).

In this scene, which I won't say much about because it's towards the end, he's going to perform a banishment.

He looks like he's got some sweet bling. He also reminds me of Grounds Keeper Willie's dad.
