A Nightmare Ram

[aku-chan]

"The focus of many a cautionary travellers tale, Nightmare Rams are said to inhabit the wild, lonely parts of the world. Appearing before lost travellers to offer their services as a guide, those who are foolish enough to accept their help are led deeper into the wilderness, never to be seen again.

Occasionally, someone will seek out the truth behind these tales. Those who are unlucky to uncover the truth, and lack the strength to resist the strong hypnotic powers the Nightmare Rams possess, soon curse their curiosity, as they are swallowed whole and slowly become one with the Ram, their mind forever trapped along with all the other unfortunate souls the Ram has consumed over the centuries."

 

 

Been working on this one for a while (as can be seen from the WIP), and I'm super pleased with how it turned out.

Comments and critiques are, as always, much appreciated.

Awesome work, Aku-Chan! Followed the WIP, and it was good to read.

Good ole Kingdom Death Miniatures Strikes again...ROFL.

Love it Aku-Chan.  Its so well done.

Your attention to detail, and skills did this into a masterpiece.

I had to laugh at the posterior shot.. .how you kept a steady hand is beyond my comprehension.

This is a tame Mini from their other stuff..

I was given two of their mini's as a gift, the couple returned the original ones they got; because of an

over abundance of sexual nature (to put it mildly).

Great Job, so well painted !

Nice job.  A simultaneously beautiful yet disturbing mini. I love how you gave it really goat-like eyes.

Kingdom Death certainly has their own style of weird. Some pieces I love, some are just a little over the top. You did an absolutely fantastic job on this. I especially like the face(s), the horns and the fur. Thank you for sharing it with us.

That is very well done... and very disturbing.

FANTASTIC!!!

Deeply disturbing nightmare fuel, well painted. A nice job on an unnerving, unsettling figure.

That thing still just weirds me out as a sculpt, but you did an excellent job painting it!  I really like the hands!

Wait till you see the Screaming Antelope...

[aku-chan]

Thanks for the compliments!

 

Yeah, Kingdom Deaths stuff isn't for everyone, which is a shame because they make really nice (if often, rather odd) minis.

This is one case where I really like the KD aesthetic. Weird, grotesque, and hallucinatory but without the ah... "Japanese body-horror inspired sexual references" which basically just make me laugh out loud, then erase my browser history ;)

 

Great work on this, I was a little dubious about the golden hued skin-tone, but it works out beautifully. Excellent work. For a hard-hitting critique you'd need a better painter than me, I'm just really impressed :)
