77251: Bloodhoof, Minotaur Barbarian

[EvilJames]

Here is the first of the two minis I entered into the painting contest at gencon

This was my first attempt at greenstuffing a base and I'm fairly happy with it. Unfortunately I failed to get all the mold lines off of this guy as I spotted the on the top of his axe too late.

I also painted the other minotaur from the set but he didn't get quite finished in time. I'll likely post him soon as he is almost done. Of the two though I like this one the most.

Still trying to figure out the best way to take pictures and this guy was being a real elf about it for some reason. Hopefully some of these look ok.

how did you place at gencon?

Gen Con painting contest is not great at knowing how your doing. Since they only give awards for the top. I know Wren last year put a figure in that didn't get any recognition but took a Gold at Reaper Con. So at Gen Con a mini basically only going to get an award if  it's at Sophie quality. 

 

 

Evil James - I love the shading you did on the minotaurs back, and the crazy eyes you have given him. Good job!

Great job, rage on!

Thanks I was really proud of how his skin turned out. His eyes were hard but I'm happy with them.

You did a really good job on him, congrats!

 

One minor thing about the base; overall, it looks very good, but in the first picture especially, you can make out some fingerprints in the GS along the edges.

 

That doesn't mean in any fashion that it's bad, just something to look out for next time.

Yeah I was really trying to avoid that, but failing a lot. Wasn't sure of the best way to smooth that out.
