Converting/Painting 01539, Gil the Chibi Deep Sea Monster Tiik

[Metalchaos]

Ok, so 01539, Gil is next on my Bonesylvanian painting frenzy.

 

 

I'm wondering if I should;

1- Paint him the traditional green scheme like shown on the first picture.

2- Go for a more psychedelic scheme of color like shown on the second picture.

3- Go for a conversion, and add a bioluminescent lure on its head like an abyssal fish to make him look like a Chibi Tiik. Not excluding going wild with colors and trying my hand on OSL.

 

What do you think?

Well mine was done with a darker green, so I'd love to see the psychedelic colors.

I concur.  #2 would be sweet.

Nice!!!

[Metalchaos]

Cool, so it looks like we have a consensus, I'm gonna go psychedelic on this one.

But don't forget the lure!

Maybe he is a tropical monster! This will be interesting to follow!

[Metalchaos]

Ok, I think I have it! What about a psychedelic deep one.

Ok, I worked thar one out during the weekend. I was going to use a bigger pin, but I finally decided a staple would do better.

I think the lure looks a bit to big, I will try to scale it down a little.

Oh my! So cute!

[Glitterwolf]

Great!

I'm all set to paint my Chibi Tiik :) His teeth seem impossible to paint...

Basic colors for the base coat. I've used IMEF Olive on the scales and Imperial Purple on the gills.

I applied two Gory Red wash on the gills and the mouth. And, a Grass Green highlight on the body and a blend of Brains pink/Imperial Purple highlight on the gills.

Then, I started highlighting Purple on the left and Blue on the right to create a psychedelic effect.

This is coming along great.  I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the finished project.
