Bones 5 Arakoth the Ancient

[gmvader]

This turned out to be one my favorite sculpts from Bones 5. It is probably the most menacing looking thing I have ever painted and while it was on my painting desk my family kept getting creeped out by it. It makes me shiver every time I look at it. It was also a lot of fun to paint. Lots of texture and scratches that add interest to the model while still providing a large surface for trying to simple freehand (or complex freehand if you're more brave than I am).

Looks great! I like the subtle color you used.

Nice. I like the soft edges of the back markings. 
 

We just read the Hobbit chapter with the spiders in Mirkwood forest, so extra eerie to see today.

Fantastic paint job!

Wow...I love everything about this. Quite possibly my favorite take on this mini so far. The way you've blended the black into blues (and even subtly worked your way up to stark white) is amazing. Nice job picking out all the scratches, too. Highest marks!

 

I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing this one during bones 5.

Inspiring! I really like the blending and details! Wow!

Fantastic take on her!  I love it.  That blue/black is super sinister.  Thank you for giving her so much life!
