Beefcakes Fantasy May 2022
« on: October 21, 2012, 08:04:18 AM »
I thought I'd start up a thread of my dungeon Beasties. If anyone has any ideas on where to buy other cool monsters I'd welcome the advice. Thanks.

Anyway over the past 2 days I painted these Heresy Monsters. The troll was a repaint as the first time I painted it was about 3 years ago and my skill has improved some since then (still not great though) The cyclops I received yesterday and finished yesterday.

Thanks for looking. I'll be digging out some of my other monsters over the next few weeks probably and taking some more photos of them to post up. I'll try to keep it monster-related but the odd hero my join in just to keep them in line. I'm such a geek... ::)

Don't sell yourself short; both of the Big Guys painted up TERRIFIC. I really like the skin tones & the Toll's shiny purple tongue. Cool bases also. VERY WELL DONE!

Wow, that troll looks awesome. Just like he walks through a rather dimly lit tunnel. Makes it look really mean.

Cool work!

Excellent work on a couple of dungeon crawling staples.

It's been a while since I started this thread, and just as long since I've posted anything! :)
Heres a Heresy Spider, I'm in the process of painting a converted rider for it out of one of the heresy Goblin Bosses. Here's just the spider though.

I don't have anything big enough to base it on yet!
An underside view to show the cling film i changed into saliva-stuff
Ignore that huge line that I didn't fill. The top fitted together nearly perfectly and I didnt fill the top at all.

I forgot to add (which I should have donw ages ago.)

Thanks for the comments :)

Having just finished my Shelob from GW I do appreciate paintings of giant spiders. That's a huge critter and it looks suitably "gross". The pink color is an interesting choice. Would you care to elaborate a little upon that? Just curious.

As to a base: do you want to use the spider as a playing piece? Then I would probably suggest plasticard as a base. For a showpiece of course you can really go to town.

Sorry  :D
I went for the pink, to make it more like its been stuck down a deep dark cave for a long time, like an albino spider. No idea what sort of basing I'm planning on for it. A cd is recommend on the website and I'd believe it.

I see. Makes sense to me.
Yeah, a CD as a base is pretty cool. I wasn't sure if it would be big enough. If it fits, why not? I like CDs as bases.

It turned out more pink than I wanted. I wanted it to look white with a pink shade. I'm happy with the final result.
I always drool over the otherworld stuff. The Liche with the staff is on my wishlist, I'm also trying to sculpt my own otyugh. So far I only have a couple of rows of teeth on a body. I think I'll take a peek at Otherworld now in fact.

Cracking work but the spider is particularly brilliant - how can you stand to hold the thing!  :o lol

I like the clingfilm/saliva idea very much
