Tas's Strange Aeons works (Updated 2 Dec 24)

[styx]

Great work! To be honest, I would hit a little edge highlight of a brighter color around instead and add some vines or moss to it to add some age effect.

The people have spoken - I shall push on! 
I guess it just didn't turn out how I had envisioned it, and being such a lovely piece I found that disappointing

Do you mean highlighting the brickwork, the face detail or both?

Looks good to me. I'm not keen on the purple lining myself; I'd take a 50/50 white/purple blend and put a line in the center of the pattern so it looks like energy glowing or something. Maybe.

mainly the face, you could hit around the brickwork but not all of it...just to bring out some accent tones.

Thanks for the advice to push on gents, I quite like it now although it ended up different to my original intent (isnt that always the way!  )

I've gone for the overgrown look but been careful not to overdo the vines and foliage - less is (usually) more right?
This has given the face a worn/almost forgotten look which the purple works for, rather than trying to make it pop.
I also added a gloss effect to look like water where there is slime/ooze coming out of the pyramid.









Now to progress the "Living Idol" which dwells within...

Wow!

Yep, that certainly works for me.
It looks lovely.
An ancient monument containing a sinister secret, uncovered by the Cult.

Very nice terrain piece/objective... I just hope that the good guys and gals get there in time to stop the cultists!

Top work Taz. Looks great.

[superflytnt]

That's so friggin pretty, mate. Really, top marks on this one. It's about as perfect as I could imagine. The vines are great, just right, not too much.

[Tas]

and what doth lie 'neath the cursed pyramid?
Within its slimy bowles the Cultists completed their quest, unearthing an ancient Horror...

I took d6+1 insanity points just by painting this...



This 'beautiful' resin piece is again by Fenris Games and I have coveted it for a long time, its just perfect for the 'Living Idol' quest.  I went for a 'just waking up' look, with parts of the idol dormant in statue form, other bits alive, and a sort of transitional feel to it.  I was dreading doing the eyes and spent quite awhile looking a pics of eyes, but I'm really happy with how they came out.









The base was a spur of the moment thing, carved out of an mdf coaster.  
I left it detached so I can use it as a summoning circle or the like

[pocoloco]

Splendid!

I have been eyeing (heh heh) that resin piece for some time, looks like I need to fix my gaze on it again. Great idea and execution of the waking up / semi-dormant look with it.

[smokezombie]

Now this I like even more!!!

The summoning coaster is a wicked idea.

[Mason]

 

Bloody brilliant, Tas!
 

You really nailed those eyes.
Very creepy.
 

The coaster of Summoning is a great idea, too.

[Oldben1]

Nice work on everything. Fenris has some nice pieces and you've made everything look really sinister.

[superflytnt]

HA! Those teeth make him look a bit mental! He's like the Gomer Pyle of demons! LMAO

Great work, though. The paint is superb as always.
