Ghouls #03716

[Jabberwocky 1549]

These two were painted up after a discussion with Rhonda Bender (Bird With a Brush). They will be raffled off at a Tennessee con called Save vs. Hunger to support the Second Harvest chapter locally. The con is April 12th-14th, so if you are in the area, check it out! As always critiques, comments, and questions welcome!

These look awesome! Love the red around the exposed spine.

 

There con sounds like a cool thing, too. 

[Jabberwocky 1549]

Thanks, Sanael. I have really been pleased to see a push in our hobby to use miniatures for more than gaming and help raise money for charities or individuals in times of need.

Painted for a good cause!

Awesome!

 

I really love that skintone, care to share the recipe?

Very nice - I like the bluish tint to the skin and the blood on the hands + splash on knee is perfect!

 Thank you, Glitterwolf! It's pretty straight forward. The base was Moldy Skin, wish progressive shading with Ghoul Skin (surprise!), Carnival Purple + Ghoul Skin, then deepest shading with Blue Liner. The highlights were Bloodless Skin followed by Maggot White. I hope this helps!

It seems I have all of those paints.

I will try this the next time I paint a ghoul or ghast, I seem to have some of those in my mountain of unpainted minis.

Outstanding work on these rotten undead, the skin tone is absolutely perfect, and the blood makes them freaking gross. May I ask, what do you use for blood effect?

Thumbs up for giving them away for a good cause.

Thank you Metalchaos! The blood effect is Tamiya Clear Red with just a little bit of black. It is strange stuff. It dries glossy, but also straight from the pot is thick and kind of sticky after a short while. I applied with with a brush and flicking it off a toothbrush for the splatter. I have used it as a dripping effect in the past; it's not durable unfortunately. You probably could glue something to the model and paint it over that to get something that would last a little longer. I have also heard of people mixing it with UHU glue to get the stringy effect a bit easier.

These are great! and very creepy!  An ironic choice for the benefit's theme.

[Warlady 4348]

How...umm...ghoulish!  They're great - hope they go for a good price for the charity.

Thanks for the tip.

these are just wicked, the most ghoulish ghouls ever. Wasn't planning a lot of undead, but these 2 models are now going on my " must have" list

[Marc 578]

Yeah, they look great!

Are those Reaper minis? 

[Xiwo Xerase 11721]

They are!  03716: Ghouls (2)
