Title: Winged One from "Queen of the Black Coast"
Post by: barbaric splendor on 20 January 2016, 03:44:56 AM
I hope to get this into a scenario for the Conan miniatures game; it's a Reaper miniature but seems to fit the description from "Queen of the Black Coast" perfectly - although I forgot the red eyes part....

"Then something swept down across the stars and struck the sward near him. Twisting about, he saw it—the winged one!

With fearful speed it was rushing upon him, and in that instant Conan had only a confused impression of a gigantic manlike shape hurtling along on bowed and stunted legs; of huge hairy arms outstretching misshapen black-nailed paws; of a malformed head, in whose broad face the only features recognizable as such were a pair of blood-red eyes. It was a thing neither man, beast, nor devil, imbued with characteristics subhuman as well as characteristics superhuman."

Lovely work. I remember seeing that mini along time ago and thought the same.

That does fill the bill for The Winged One; AND, with your BEAUTIFUL paint job, it does it in FINE fashion. OUTSTANDING WORK!

For some reason I'd been misremembering the Winged One as a more slender, hairless creature. But that figure fits the description in the excerpt perfectly. Well done!

Good use of the figure and fine painting. Aren't there some flying ape thingies in Elric too?
