Great paint work and a great save ! Was that done with a wash or dry brushing , I know nothing about this stuff but want to learn .
And where did the horns come from ?

...The base was acrylic flat white with a bit of black, so it covers, then, a thinned-out black wash layered until it's how you want it? When it's at that point? Start highlighting it all with the white using a mildly thinned version at first, & a more solid colour on the high points to show a bit of depth here & there. Lastly, use straight black to highlight the bigger, darker, areas.
The horns were made from old black plastic, teardrop earrings...that I don't wear anymore.... & were cut, shaped & painted-up.
Seriously, I have/had? a bad habit of going through council 'throw-outs', & stuff like cheap costume jewelry & kids toys generally have a use when making some of this, so I pick it up. It may sit here for decades? But eventually it serves a purpose.

Great job,Kieran!!! Your dry brushing and paint wash details show up beautifully throughout this figure build! I really like your “repurposed” horns! Great added touch! I like all of the alterations you did to his facial features! That Japanese ghost on the back is cool,Too!! Remarkable and so realistic!!! Todd  |

Very Nice, Keiran
Those horns look like they came with it.
That's one thing that sets modelers apart, we see things as what they could be, and not what they are.
I really respect your versatility as a Model Builder
