Agree - those are too nice to throw away! Great job on them. I'm glad you put the 28mm fig in for scale, otherwise I would have guessed they were roughly man-sized.  :o

Like the others, I really appreciate these monsters. They remind me the movie the Creature from the Black Lagoon (L'étrange créature du Lac noir)! An inspiration for a scenario? :)

Thank you all for your answers. It encourages me to continue the project.
Some monsters are coming in a few days.

Answers well rewarded, I would say. Continued brilliance!

'Creature from the Black Lagoon' is a bit my personal totem, as Douglas comes from Celtic origins meaning from the black pool or water...

And here are three creatures that came directly from the bayou. These three have a story. They’re failed impressions by a friend. I told him not to throw them away, they might be saved. We see the printing errors (some streaks and failures) but with a little conversion and paint, they are usable!

Even a flesh eating monster sometimes needs someone to believe in them to achieve their true potential.

As others have said, lovely work all round.

They don’t look as if they have anymind  to be served up with a sauce piquant.  Indeed, i expect they are hunting up chefs from Lafayette to return the favor.

Perfectly usable and also very good! Very satisfying rescuing models like this.

You've got some beautiful figures with beautiful rich colours. Lookin' good.

Arriving late to the discussion - sorry.  I just stumbled across a reference to your KS.

Are the minis still available from you or the sculptor either as minis or STLs?
Are the rules still available (PDF or hard copy)?

Thanks!

I'm in the USA, which may affect availability of any merchandise, and I'm a 100% solo gamer.

Cheers,

John

I like the bayou monsters, are they shallow water relatives of the Deep Ones?

In my mind, they are aquatic creatures / monsters. Everyone can then consider them as he wishes, simple lizards or Deep Ones...

The project is not dead !
Some news...
In Nightmare, Dark Spawns arrive via portals. I made three of them with different bases.


And here are just a few Dark Spawns...
