Stonehaven Miniatures Firbolg Druid, digitally sculpted by Mike Evans

[72moonglum]

Evening all!

 

So my last little mini is a Stonehaven Miniatures Firbolg Druid (at least I think she's a druid) that was digitally sculpted by Mike Evans and is one of the miniatures available in the Kickstarter he's got going on right now. If you're into digital printing it might be worth having a look at his Kickstarter. Anyhoos, here she is, and I'm actually pretty glad at how she came out:

 

 

Normally I don't take so many angles, but with her pose it seems to be worth it.  I'm used to the traditional metal Stonehaven which are a little flat, almost always being a single piece of metal, and of course Ral Partha, so her very "unflat" pose made different angles seem worth it.

 

This one also kind of makes me want to tackle the Bones V firbolgs, but will take a while to get around to them I'm guessing.

 

I see a few little spots where I could improve, but overall ended up pretty satisfied with this one.  And being she's a Firbolg, she was a larger figure, which probably made it a bit of a relaxing experience!

 

Anyways, if you like Mike Evan's sculpts, go check out his Kickstarter he's running right now.  I'm off for a week to go on vacation out in Colorado, but when I get back I'll probably grab another one of these 3D printed sculpts and work on it as well soon.  

 

Which another point, I'm going on vacation for a week.  Wouldn't it almost be logical and most relaxing if I were to take paints and minis with me to just relax and paint in all the leisure time I'm going to have next week? Just have a feeling that my significant other wouldn't be too pleased with that idea. Maybe not painting for a week will do me some good, no idea.

Gorgeous! I am always impressed with your composition skills. She radiates benevolence.

As I also mentioned on Instagram, I like this concept art of the Firbolg. Even if the two races are far from being related, the Harfoots of the Rings of Power somehow remind me of the Firbolg. Probably because both live in harmony with nature.

 

I agree with everyone, you did an amazing job painting her. The face and hair are especially well done.

Thank you aculture! I really don’t know anything about Firbolgs in D&D but I get the feeling they are supposed to be kind of benevolent nature creatures. I’m trying to recall that there was an old Ral Partha mini from their TSR series, but he just like a big, chest-barreled giant.

I still need to see the Rings of Power!

Thank you Iridil, she was a joy to paint, and relatively straightforward, only complicated part was getting in between her staff arm and body!
