Kitsune Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ok, so I haven’t posted in a long time, but I have my latest to show off now. This is my 13th mini, ever, and I think it’s a fitting choice. This one was handed of to a friend and faithful follower of Cthulhu, but not before I took pictures! It’s also the first one that I’ve ever played with basing beyond just painting, so be kind. Take a look and let me know what you think. Oh and in case the pictures don't show it well enough I used a mix of gloss/matte varnish again. To give him the slimy, recently came up out of the seas look. Hope you like him! ~Kitsune 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Excellent color choices; love the black/green/greenish brown. And he does have that "just came out of the water" feel. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhaidra Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I also think that you chose good colours for the skin. I especially like the painting at the wings. Good painting for that kind of monster and the glossy look works very well here too. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 really nice work for your 13th mini, very nicely done love the colors, it's plain but there are so many different various of green in there it's great to look at.

Darkstar Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I think he looks great. Love the blending and tonal changes between the dark and light areas, they are very convincing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 He's gross, disgusting, slimey, and putrid. In other words... great! The back of the wings look drier than the rest, though. -Newt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks for all the great comments so far. I had fun with this one once I finally figured out what colors to use. lol I looked at a loooot of pics before choosing which, if any, shades of green, brown, grey, etc to use. And yes, my friend did love it and it is a proud unique piece for his Cthulhu collection. He even brought it out to the bar with use that night and it went between guarding his beer and hovering over the dismembered parts (aka salsa). LOL Oh and for the varnish I actually did a mix of matte spray and gloss varnish. I glossed him first, added one layer of matte spray and then touched up the gloss were I thought it needed it. I wanted some gloss for the 'slimy' look, but I also didn't want him looking like a glazed doughnut (Which I found too much gloss can do). lol ~Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchid_Noir Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is it too late to add a me too on the liking the colors? Seriously, though, I really like the colors that you chose for him, looks great. I must be twisted, I have always thought that there was something "cute" about this mini.

LOL Of course it's not too late and thanks! And he does have a strange/gross suave/cuteness about him doesn't he? Well, except for the fact that he's posed to smack a *bleep* for not getting his money on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordColdsteal Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Very nice job. I think you could have brought up the highlights a bit more (but most people say that), just to help inhance the slimmy look. The eyes could have used a small white dot as well to give them a gloss. I love your color choices and the purple is very fitting. wonderful job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chika Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Awesome! Love the colors that you chose for this mini. Slimy looks really accentuates the creature coming up from a swamp or sea. Very cool. Keep 'em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I love it! Looks like he is slimy, icky and just plain EWWW! The greens are great choices though I probably would have taken several highlights up to a really bright almost yellowy green. Keep up the good work!
