Thanks pal, easy enough thinned down red paint mixed with a little skin tone and draw out all the veins, then thinned red going over what you have already done but obviously leaving the ends the colour previously done, then you just repeat the step adding a little purple to the red, then just purple then add a little black to the purple and just black.  The latter layers will be focused on the main veins.  Obviously each step can be done or not depending on what the final result you want, the veins around the nipple I did not add the steps that have the black paint in

Many thanks pal, I'll try for sure! Those little veins are fantastic. I'm happy to see that you are always very kind about sharing receipes/techniques. It's very useful for me. I followed your method to create realistic blood and I'm pretty happy with the result: I'll show you as soon as I can take a decent pic :)

HAHA yeah maybe i should stop giving up all my secrets :D  Really is no problem, why put others through the pain of trial and error when I already have the solution, would be bloody spiteful and as a buddhist that really is not in my character

Spectacular piece  :-* :-* :-*

Even though the the main work is cracking it's the little details and touches that bring all together  8)

The cyclops head reminds me of Bernard Breslaw from Krull  lol

Thanks pal, agreed on the Bernard Breslaw part he has that look about him :D

Next up on the Golden Demon front is my Skin Wolf Pack, they are prepped ready to have the extensive greenstuff work....they weren't the best casts and after my recent complaints to FW Customer Services over the Tartaros Terminator I deceided to sod it just fix them myself rather than wait for a replacement as they seemed very busy.

I don't like bashing GW or FW but the quality of the last two FW purchases have been shocking to a point I am unlikely to buy from them again until I hear rave reviews about their stuff from trusted parties, the finecast resin was, well, dog turd quite frankly. Upside, the sculpting on these is great and the detailing is lovely so hopefully with a little work to repair the miscasting I can make something out of them.

I've not been around here for a while so I've missed the giant....

amazing work there! The only shame is that he's on a plinth, it'd be nice to see more GD minis on gaming bases bit that's just a small crit of a truly eye popping piece, bravo!

Will the giant be making an appearance at Exeter GW?  I'd very much like to view it 'in the flesh'.

Thanks for the link to C.M.o.N...I voted in a totally unbiased manner...mostly. Despite being rarely at a loss for words, your work leaves me speechless; ergo, voting gives me a chance to add a compliment.
