Elladan was a bit ho-hum this week, so I decided to lead with the mocking beast, and obvious copy (but copyright dodge) of a mimic from D&D. Adventurers! Always consider why there are eaten piles of corpses/bones around that pristine treasure chest!
This one was sorta fun. I got to use some of the expanded range of pink/purples I've been collecting lately. The gold in the mouth is possibly TOO gold, and the edging/metal banding doesn't pop much, but I very much like the overall effect. I tried to create a slit eye, which I think comes across most in the right photo. I also ended up sculpting a base, which is just passable. You can spot where the slathered on grey didn't quite cover the miliput, but from range it's hard to see.
Back to Elladan. Ho Hum. Generic elf ranger. Whoo. I did end up giving him pupils of the same colour as his pommels which was a fun effect. Too bad about the over paint in orange obvious in the middle shot.
I'm not super happy with his skin tones. Also, I wasn't too sure what to do with his various kit. I wanted rustic, forest, but that largely comes out as boring in this particular production. Oh well. On to the next!

Sometimes generic sculpts end up being the hardest to paint. At least he's not a Pathfinder sculpt with a million different pieces of ridiculous gear to pick out!
ReplyDeleteThe Mimic is wonderful though! After seeing this, I think I will pick one up in the future! :)
The mimic is a very fun sculpt. Thanks to Bones I'm sure it's very well priced.
DeleteThere are a few pathfinder minis in the Bones pack which will eventually need to be painted.
