Lucid Eye - The Red Book of the Elf King
« on: January 13, 2018, 06:51:08 PM »
Bit of a rush-job this one was, trying to squeeze it in before Crimbo because a magazine needed the image for publishing deadlines. I would like to have another go at the sword, but otherwise it was a lovely model to work on. He's a big old boy, standing at about 35mm eye-height, so he'll tower regally over his subjects. I like the rather capricious look to him. This one's no nicey-nicey pixie type.

Nicely done.  :)

He'd make a good Loki for OGAM...

I don't know to be honest, but I know they've started advertising him.

As a rush job it's impressive. What did you use for the moss on the base?

Lovely work, as per usual, of course.

I was thinking the same, or even as a Celtic God like Nuada maybe.
Given that Cubs describes him as a 'big old boy' has sold that to me and I have gone and ordered one.
One can never have enough Gods for OGAM.

He reminds me a little of Sting in Dune as well.

It's my own blend of 1mm static grass (green and brown mixed) made into patches with a static electricity wand thingy. I can't really call them tufts, because they're too short for that.

He looks a bit like the Elf Pickle from the Kids tv show Knightmare

I might need this as a general for my Mark Copplestone Grenadier wood elves

Saw this fig the other day and added it to the 'To Get' list. Very nice brushwork there. You do it justice.

Terrific paint job! Very nice figure too - not the slightest hint of the tweeness that so often dogs elf-kind.
