Another week... another red ghoul in the bag (fourth overall, the third and final from Otherworld Miniatures). In terms of painting, he's similar to the two previous OW minis except that both green and fleshtone washes were used (in addition to purple and blue). The first used fleshtone but no green, the second green but no fleshtone.
As is typical with Paul Muller's work, the face is outstanding. Last week I had a fiendish grin to work with, this week a full-on snarl. Great fun to paint.
Like his compatriots, the base needs further attention. Unlike his compatriots, I finished with time to spare. This may allow me to complete a fifth boss ghoul by Halloween. Time will tell.
Stunning work Finch! Simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bob.
DeleteThose highlights on the flesh are just gobsmackingly good Finch. Great work on an incredibly fearsome sculpt.
ReplyDeleteThanks BK. Fearsome is the right word. Great sculpt.
DeleteAnother superb figure. After seeing what you've done, these are definitely on the wishlist!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gordon. Mr. Muller's been very prolific in the ghoul-sculpting department. After painting these I find my wishlist expanding too.
DeleteVery nice Finch again fabulous skin tones!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Simon.
DeleteAnother stunning piece of work Mr. Finch; tremendous just tremendous.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michael.
DeleteStunning painting Finch. I'm guessing it took a little longer than just an hour :)
ReplyDeleteYour guess is correct, sir. Glad you you like him.
DeleteExcellent work this month Finch! Well done on keeping up the pace!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris. To quote the great philosopher, Dirty Harry, "a man's got to know his limitations". The fact that three of the four minis needed only three colors each (skintone #1, Skintone #2, & hair) plus a few details really helped me make the deadlines.
DeleteUnbelievable work on the face. Your skin tones are great as I have come to expect from you but even this time you have outdone yourself on the mini's face. Stunningly excellent.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Kuan. The face gave me a lot to work with. I marvel at how the best sculptors manage to pack so much detail into such a tiny space.
