Hecklemeyer and Styx - Speedpaint at PaizoCon

[OneBoot]

A little backstory:

 

At PaizoCon, there's a fella named Cosmo who runs a TTRPG survival game, where you have to last at least 20 minutes against...killer clowns. Yes, that's right, you get mobbed from all sides by wave after wave of malevolent, monstorous clowns of all kinds.

 

@Reaperbryan paints at least one clown mini for him every year. And if it wasn't originally a clown, he MAKES it a clown. Last year, he and a few forum members (myself included) painted up a whole nightmarish Ronald McDonald clown crew. It was glorious and terrifying and a whole lot of fun.

 

But this year, Cosmo had a special request: he'd gotten Hecklemeyer and Styx, and asked Bryan if he could paint them up. Being a good management type, he delegated the job to me, since he was already working on turning a giant into a rubber chicken-wielding clown (which came out amazingly).

 

I had originally planned on purple and gold, with perhaps some red or green accents.

 

Instead, purple and teal happened. It's almost as though it was inevitable. 

 

(pardon my fingers in the picture; it was the only way my camera would show the correct colors. Since I was at the con, I didn't have access to my normal photo-taking setup)

 

 

Here's a shot that shows the puppet hanging off of his belt. I gave it a clown nose too, of course.

 

 

Group picture!

 

 

Cosmo was a very happy Cosmo when I gave them back. He did, in fact, squee loudly (followed by maniacal giggling). It was extremely gratifying.

 

EDIT: I should clarify that when I say Speed Paint, I mean that I painted it in 3-4 hours, not during an actual speed paint event.

 

Huzzah!

Very nice!  Colorful and yet not gaudy.  I think I would be happy to fend off this baddie as a reprieve from the living clowns.  Though his little clown puppets are giving me the creeps.

Beautiful work!  Love the colours especially!

[KruleBear]

Thumbs up. Looks like you spent more time on it than you did. Very cool.

[OneBoot]

Thank you for the kind words, everyone!

Oh. Well, um, you see...that IS one of the living clowns. He joined the ranks of Cosmo's nightmarish clown army, though I didn't get a chance to see him in action this year. Maybe next year!

Well done! I do regret not picking that one up now. Such is life. He's an excellent little evil clown.

 The evil clown approves of my evil clown!

 

I do have one of my own, which I may or may not paint up the same as this guy.

 

Huzzah!

I love marionettes. The Living Impaired Jester/Puppeteer & his Minion are BEAUTIFULLY painted creations. I really enjoy your color choices. VERY WELL DONE!

Nice job with this pair! They look great, especially for a speedpaint!

[Chaoswolf]

Very cool paint job, OneBoot!

[Glitterwolf]

Great!
