Dr Boom Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I've decided to start making a bit more of a concerted effort to work through some of my earlier Bones backlog, so every batch of new painting, I'll be dipping into the remainders of my Stoneskull box from Kickstarter 3. This month I pulled out the Merrow. I've seen a lot of these guys painted in lovely shades of sickly green, however there was something about this sculpt that was giving off a King Shark vibe (exposed gills and scalloped fins aside), so I started him about the same time I painted the shark in my Raft of the Damned. A bit of a quick paintjob, but it gives the vibe I was looking for. I was going for the soulless black eyes of a great white, however up close it just looks like he's squinting. I might go back and paint in a little sclera. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlonTey Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Rad. I also got the shark man vibes here (side note, why the heck are sahuagin green too?) but didn't feel bold enough to do the white underbelly. Looks great with it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegascat Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He just looks damn cool, reminds me of a killer whale. Hopefully he's just going to tend his farm and poke anyone with that thing. 😄 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Slam Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I agree about the killer whale feel. In fact, I get a Tigersharks Lorca vibe from him (anyone? anyone? no?). Anyway, it's a very novel approach that you pulled off well. Great rust work, too. Top-notch piece! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
