With the clouds I did not think that I would get a good picture of the tree but there was a break in the cloud cover and I got these. The tree is still a WIP as it needs some oils and basing. It is the Tree of Despair model from Reapers latest kickcstarter. I replaced the ropes on not Conans wrists and linked them with some rope knots that were sculpted on the ends of the branches. Painted with a mix of craft, GW and Privateer paints.

That is awesome. The contrast between his skin and the dark tree works out very well.
Gives me inspiration to paint mine!

Last bit of oils done. Just need to wait a few days to do a couple of touch ups then seal and flock.

They will be. Generally Reaper does a Kickstarter and the models are released in slow time over about a year to a year and a half from the time the KS ships. Some get released pretty quick some it takes a while. Here are the contents.

KS price was $12 so I would guess about $20-25 retail.
Thanks for the comps.

Inspiring! I love the result

Nice job, is that from a particular tale from the books? Been reading them and don't recognize it, but then...it's a lot of tales :D

Superb work!

Thanks for the compliments all.

It is not from the the books as far as I can remember. It was from the Conan the Barbarian movie with Arnie. They called it the tree of woe.

I am sure I read it in one of the early books see http://vaultofevil.proboards.com/thread/2075/conan-tree-death-thomas-buscema#ixzz5pCxmmnpP (http://vaultofevil.proboards.com/thread/2075/conan-tree-death-thomas-buscema#ixzz5pCxmmnpP)
The idea is from Marvel's Savage Sword of Conan No 5, April 1975.The story is a 60 page plus adaptation of R E Howard's "A Witch Shall Be Born".

That looks great!
:-* :-*
I feel the need for a Tree of Death/Woe/Despair/Slight Discomfort myself now.
:D

Indeed it is from the original story by Howard, "A Witch Shall Be Born".
