Hi, I'm painting an Orc Shaman from the Wizards of Morcar expansion and I'm trying to decide on a color scheme. I only have two images for the shaman. The one on the box cover where he looks like he works in a circus and the one on his spell cards. I'm going with the second one, but I'm wondering if anyone who owns the expansion set could tell me if there are any more images of the 4 wizards like the ones on the box side of the heroquest game system.

Not quite what you asked for, but here is some pics I once pulled from the net. Hope it helps a bit:

SANTA!!!

And also a well painted pair of the other wizards

thanks for the answer. I've found these pics myself during my research. It surprised me how many people painted him like santa! it's a shame.
the back of the card is what I'm going for. this is what I have so far.

Nice background effect, as well. Those reflected motes of light add to his magical aura.

Very nice. Very nice indeed!
I think you should "outline" his clothes a little more with dark/black. The brown and orange are kinda close in shade.
This could help make the details stand out a bit more

I'd only wash the brown fur edges.
Amazing job man. really. Wish I had the wizards.
