I have been working on this Idol of Crom to use in the Monolith Conan game - made from a bust and then surrounded/based in cork for the rough stone. I started with black and worked up with overbrushed layers of grey, as well as pushing around some nearly dry paints in parts to create texture. There are also washes of black and Secret Weapon Stone involved. I am basically at the final highlight stage, then will do some dirt and grass around the rough stone part. A fun project! First picture, starting to build up the base:

The wings are great - I thought they looked like fire before even reading your text!

Great color scheme!

Love the wings!

This is great! I love the skintones, especially in the context of this overall color scheme. Gorgeous work!

Nice conversion and painting!

The Usurper, finished. Sculpted by Rykar Jové for Barbaric Splendor Miniatures; he made a few masters before sending his sculpts to me, so I have finally gotten this painted! I love the whole sculpt, but Rykar did an especially great job on the tiger emblem on the shield! I will have an update on the Kickstarter that includes this miniature in a couple days - all sculpts are in so they will be going off for master molds soon! I used Reaper Ruddy Flesh, Reaper Barbarian Flesh, and Reaper Warrior Flesh to layer up the skin - the Ruddy Flesh is very dark, so still working on getting this recipe smoother but I am getting there I think.

Nice! Are there any groups that run Conan that we should send a link to? I shared it on my Barbaric Splendor page, and on the Conan RPG players page, if I think of others I will let you know!

I am in - these will be useful for Conan scenarios in a few different locations like Turan, Vendhya, Iranistan, maybe some others.

Wow!!!

Your reds are amazing! Great work overall.

It's a Celtos Flesh Eater - nice job!

I can't remember if this was answered already, sorry if so - can someone tell me who sculpted the barbarian in the Heroes II set?

Gorgeous work!

Love the facial expression on Red Gunhildr!

A fine exemplar of barbaric splendor!!! Those Elmore boxed sets were great.

Barbaric Splendor!!!!

I think they tried to keep the bases small so more miniatures could fit into zones on the game board - it is indeed a great sculpt!

Just got him out and measured - he is 50mm, base is 35mm.

This is great - looking forward to seeing the rest!

Great work - Barbaric Splendor!!!

Indeed!

Its looking great! I really like the feathers especially.

Nice work! Love the base, and the skintone! Barbaric Splendor!

Barbaric splendor!!!
