Beautiful colors and slobber... and it works! Good Paintin'

I have always found the thought of dopplegangers ... unsettling. This exemplifies exactly why. Good Paintin'

Oh man, I just got campaign ideas from this! And the diversity of color schemes is excellent. Good paintin'

Wow... Good paintin'

That's a really good paint job, no matter the experience level. You'll find an amazing level of knowledge and, more importantly, willing help on this site. Some absolutely awesome people to engage with... Good paintin'

Beautiful paint job on your character. I had to stop painting PC's. Every one that I paint draws massive aggro. Unto death. Not just mine, so many have met their death that my friends won't even let me paint minis for their PC's. But they love it when I paint monsters for the GM lol

That looks freaking awesome Good paintin'

Very well done

Oooooh... pretty! Good paintin'

Please don't be offended when I try to paint one exactly like that. I like the more naturally painted dragons instead of the fantastically colored ones. Really good paintin'

Eyes are awesome. The whole critter is really well done. The slobbers give it that extra je ne sais quoi... Good paintin'

Very nice and seasonal! Good paintin'

I'm in awe of the confidence in brush control you have to take small sections to such a finish level individually. I always twitch, jerk or sneeze and mess up the most hard to reach areas. Good paintin'

Nice effect, I bet it looks even better in person. Good paintin'

Those are great sculpts. Good paintin'

Doggone it your stuff is so awesome. The only problem I have with it is the intense feelings of inadequacy I'm left when I compare your work to my own... cursed professionals. Good paintin'

Nice work, the blood spots are a very... er... nice touch. Good paintin'

Very nicely done Good paintin'

Those are all so creative and terrifically executed. The only problem I can see is when the missus comes looking for her curlers. Good paintin'

Thanks for all of the replies, this was a really fun project. Btw - the orbital eyes or "antenna" as my wife calls them are little glass beads super glued to pieces of 50 lb fishing line and dipped in the Tamiya Clear Red. They almost have an ambient glow when the lighting is right. Cool stuff

Those things are always so cool looking. Good paintin'

Thanks for all of your replies, I actually heard my wife bragging on this one at the family dinner. Happy, happy

These are awesome...

Thanks eldamir, the eye started as a round pushpin that I, uh, borrowed from my wife. It was silver. I gave it 2 coats of old Testors Insignia Red and then painted a yellow asterisk on the front. Then I dipped it in Tamiya Clear Red. My phone refuses to take a close-up...

In the second pic the highlights on the tentacles are excellent, it almost glows. Very nice Good paintin'
