Popular Post Pezler the Polychromatic Posted January 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Where My Mind Wanders (thanks to knarthex for the title inspiration): WIP here: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/72333-hey-somebody-get-after-that-brain-77027-reaper-mind-eater-wip/ This was actually fun to work on, I learned a lot from doing it (highlighting was not one of those things). I was going to leave it as is, but Guindyloo suggested that I put roller skates on him. As awesome of an idea as that is, that requires Green Stuff (which I have) and skill using Green Stuff (which I don't have), but it did put it in my head that the Mind Eater should be doing something dynamic instead of just standing there. Since it's larger than what an intellect devourer is and won't be used as a tabletop figure, I decided to use a larger base to give myself more room to play. I learned that I have some pretty light brush control when I put my mind to it, and got some xenomorphic help with learning how to do feathering for the legs. So here you have the Mind Eater running like a deer in the woods, without a care in the world! I wanted to put in some whimsy into the piece, since it gives a contrast to the horrific aberration that the figure is supposed to be. Hope you enjoy!

Moderator Guindyloo Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 I love it! The roller skates would have been funny (I'm with you on lacking in greenstuff skill though) but having it frolicking through the woods is adorable! On top of it being adorable, the base is really great! I like the mix of different flocks that you used, it gives a lot of interest to it! Well done and I'm glad that you learned things while painting this and that I could help you out! I look forward to seeing what you paint up next! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I like Brainbi. That would have been a much better cartoon, IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorallineAlgae Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Whoa, that base is gorgeous! Love the mix of colors in the undergrowth. Looks like it's wondering through an Elven wood in spring. I suspect blood vengeance, but maybe it's just out for a stroll and enjoying the weather. First rate paint job on the brain as well. The number in the title seems off. Isn't this 77229?
