Zomtober 2015/4: The Next in Line


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.

    1. Thank 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.

  8. Unbelievable 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.

    1. Many 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.
