<< < (2/2)

matakishi:
I was going to do mine green as I have in the past but I couldn't think of any green fish so I did them as goldfish.

Onebigriver:
Thanks everyone for their thoughts and suggestions.

I'm aware of the Cthulhu Wikis and may have read the original story once or twice  ;)

Think I'll go with a variety of greys, green & browns for the full-time oceanic residents and have a play with pale flesh with pink & purple washes for the hybrids.

Thanks for the heads up  :D about the Eureka heads!

Dezmond:
I followed the recipe for painting Slann in How To Paint Citadel Miniatures: Lizardmen.



As for the green:-


--- Quote ---I think their predominant color was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked ... They were the blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design—living and horrible.

Blasphemous fish-frogs. So green I say!
