Spike Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I love that guy..er.. girl..whatever. Steve always says that model is ideal for anybody who needs alot of practice painting eyes. You really did good work on the poor bony guy that was Faceless Horror's breakfast. We counted 147 eyes. How many did you find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordColdsteal Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'm a calculus teacher.. which means that I use sumation to add up large sums, possibly even using an integral.... ... OK... I never counted... I just know it too me three days to do the eyes and teeth because I just kept finding more... and even when I was putting on the finishing touches, I found two more... I'm not sure what to do with the slime/gloss... I'm thinking about doing the eyes and teeth glossy (maybe the inside of the mouth) and leaving the rest flat... either way... this fella is gonna sit on my shelf and hopefull not eat any of my other figures... maybe an adventurer or two this weekend...

Mattnuke Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Lord Coldsteel, Woodland scenics makes a product called Relistic Water. I've slowly layered it over slimey monsters in the past to good effect. Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsino Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 ....what do you think? It's hard to think with my mind blasted by nameless horror. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Swiftblade Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 YIKES! Thats one scary monster...with a lotta eyes. One day I hope I can paint eyes that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordColdsteal Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Woodland scenics makes a product called Relistic Water. I've slowly layered it over slimey monsters in the past to good effect I have some, and applied it to the mouths... and in a deep layer around the skeleton. At first... it looked BEYOND creepy to see the sleleton under a layer of fluid... but the "realistic water" drys to a thin layer... I'm seeing if I can thicken it a bit and see what that does... I'll post a new "glossy" pic in the next day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post a new "glossy" pic in the next day or two. Keep adding to the realistic water in very small layers. You can get drips and all sorts of other neat effects as long as you work slowly!

LordColdsteal Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 here you go... I glossed this fella up some. You can't tell much on the outside (some of the glossy coat actually turned brown.. hmmm), but the inside came out creepy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Omega Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The browning of the glosscoat makes it look even better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankthedm Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yum! The brown helps make it look more like a slimy monster, rather than a painted mini of a slimy monster. The orginal was clean and well painted, but perhaps too clean. Maybe i am biased in favor of gloss due to the number of slimey horrors i have made.

John Lee Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 All those teeth, those eyes, I would be completely insane after painting that. I hope to give it a try. very good job, although a little gloss here or there would be nice, IMHO. John Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumb Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think I'm going to have nightmares....about painting all those eyes.... Nice work! Cheers, Grumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsino Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Holy dentata, Batman! That's scary stuff, and a well-done mini. Mis-named, though. That thing's nothing but face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex_lyver Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Great piece. I never know what to do with models like this. The contrast between the teeth and body make this piece 'pop'. Excellent work Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
