Put together a little scene of some undead infighting.

Been a while...

Painted up this goblin fanatic from 1989 as a test piece. Happy with the the look but I can probably simplify the process a bit.

He is super cute and the eyes are impressive - keen to see more like him.

OUTSTANDING WORK! The Deadites are impressive AND the Goblin is a real charmer in his own whimsical/silly way.

Those skellies are wildly good, especially the metal, not to mention those ectoplasmic cloaks on the ghosties.

Colour on that gobbo is up to your usual very high standards.

Your best is still when one of your miniatures came alive - odd I know for Undead... animated might be more accurate. Must be all the realism and magic you put into your miniatures.  lol

I know it seems churlish to pick on one small detail when so much wonderful work is going on there - I mean, how smooth does the finish have to be, to look that good on extreme close-up? - but it's the eyes selling it to me. Very simple, but at the same time very difficult to get the depth in the 'white' of the eyes, and have a deep enough grey to still show the light spot in contrast. Whenever I try it, the white spot just disappears into the rest and it looks like the pupil/iris has shrunk. That's really annoyingly good.

Well stated, my sentiments exactly.
