Hell Hounds
« on: June 22, 2011, 09:58:18 AM »
A couple Darkson Designs Hell Hounds. 
They were good fun to paint! Just the right ratio of detail to open area for a natural beast, at least for my preferences.

They look great!

Have you considered using a gloss varnish to liven up the sticky bits?

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I really enjoyed painting those hounds.  I love when i get the chance for that style of painting: mixing & blending different colors directly on the miniature, it just 'feels' fun.

re: gloss varnish: I painted them for Darkson Designs: he wanted to use them for photos in an upcoming rulebook, and since I've had problems myself with photoing when there is gloss varnish (it reflects a lot & such) I figured it'd be better without anything making it look wet- easy enough for him to add it with some varnish if that works for him, but if not- better to leave without.

aggro: re:blog: thanks! I do enjoy upkeeping the blog.  :D

Nice glint there in the eyes and lovely burnt flesh colours.

Something was nagging me about the sculpt though, got me thinking...

I have to say, looks like an update of the old Citadel Realms of Chaos Chaos Hounds:
