Yule Man

A Yule Man:





Of course everyone in Hell will want a brand new Saw doll for Christmas

I'm thinking about using this guy in a Christmas Game of Spinespur.

If I don't he'll just sit on my shelf and look seasoned....

By the way, and sorry for my ignorance... what is a yule man? someone from the northern legends?

That fat b@st@rd is smoking my favorite pipe!!! 

I swear, my favorite pipe looks exactly like that!! 

That is some fantastic shading on his red suit!! I ALWAYS have a hard time shading reds. How did you do it?

Same question with the awesome glass in his lantern!!!

Great looking Yule man. I agree with Warren, what reds did you use? Mine either go pink or orange The fire base is great, I can almost feel the heat from it.
Have a cool Yule.

Thanks guys.


I painted the red with GW foundation red (has some strange name I don't remember) and then gave it a wash of brown and painted it with the red again... raised areas got a mix of P3 red (khador red I think it's called) and the GW red. Then at final smearing of watered P3 red.

Very nice paintjob!

Thanks Thorbjorn, will have to try that red formula on my next project.

That must be a really small pipe you smoke!

He's fantastic. The base is awesome.

fat bastard or not, the face is absolutely smashing 

how about a face painting contest - I already know some people who would make it to the final...

Incredibly well painted, particularly the lamp!

   Of course mine's a larger scaled version. 

Thorbjørn, that really is an awesomely painted fig!

Thanks Thorbjorn, will have to try that red formula on my next project.

I second that!!

I think perhaps that the trick is to avoid white/whiteish at all costs! It'll turn everything in to pastel. You could easily go with another highlight of perhaps orange.

It's pretty straight forward but glad you like it.
