Gilgamesh Giggles
« on: 14 February 2010, 11:05:15 PM »
Hi!

Heres my attempt at painting Gilgamesh Giggles from the new Nuclear Renaissance box set from Ramshackle Games:



Its a really nice (and huge) miniature and paints up nicely, although I seem to be getting into a habit of painting stuff yellow and green!

All the best

Very nicely done. I especially like the yellow it looks suitable worn, but has good vibrancy to it.

Yes, fantastic paint job! The ruined metal is really great. Can I put it up on the Ramshackle gallery?

Great stuff. The paint work is a nice contrast with Thorbjorn Nielsen's version:

I love 'em both!

Hi!

Thanks for the comments!

I do plan on painting all the rest of the Giggles clan in a similar style, although I may leave out the brown wash I added to Gilgamesh's rags as its a bit shiny.

I'm going to attempt to paint Grizelda next but it will have to wait till the weekend!

Please feel free to add him to your gallery Curtis!

Give him a matt varnish if the ink is shiny.
I have started inking a lot more and as a result, I've begun to varnish all my minis! :)
