Did you layer all those scales on, or did you drybrush to get that fine pattern? The details on that skin/hide are fabulous!  :)

Rather than derail with more Qu-Sh-Ug comments, I've added more piccies in my SA thread<<

LPC #73: Night Stalker

'For crouched within that centuried coffin, embraced by a close-packed nightmare retinue of huge, sinewy, sleeping bats, was the bony thing my friend and I had robbed; not clean and placid as we had seen it then, but covered with caked blood and shreds of alien flesh and hair, and leering sentiently at me with phosphorescent sockets and sharp ensanguined fangs yawning twistedly in mockery of my inevitable doom.'

H.P. Lovecraft, The Hound



More pics, and colour breakdowns, as always on my blog.

LPC 19: The King in Yellow

"The time had come, the people should know the son of Hastur, and the whole world bow to the Black Stars which hang in the sky above Carcosa."
-Robert W. Chambers, The Repairer of Reputations



LOVE IT!

Being new to the "Party" I missed out on this Mini, I need to find my own "King in Yellow" now LoL

Here is a creature, built with spare parts from action figures and extra tentacles ( I always have some of those... :o) and some green stuff. Stuck to a washer and painted to taste. I think I'll call him; LPC 74 The Thing That Should Not Be.

great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell

Crawling Chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
fallen city, living death

-Metallica, The Thing That Should Not Be

See, you can get a quote from just about anywhere.  ;)

LPC 75 - Brown Jenkin

"That object—no larger than a good-sized rat and quaintly called by the townspeople “Brown Jenkin”—seemed to have been the fruit of a remarkable case of sympathetic herd-delusion, for in 1692 no less than eleven persons had testified to glimpsing it. There were recent rumours, too, with a baffling and disconcerting amount of agreement. Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch’s blood—which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages. Of all the bizarre monstrosities in Gilman’s dreams, nothing filled him with greater panic and nausea than this blasphemous and diminutive hybrid, whose image flitted across his vision in a form a thousandfold more hateful than anything his waking mind had deduced from the ancient records and the modern whispers." H.P. Lovecraft, Dreams in the Witch House

LPC 76 - Flying Polyp



    The flying polyps were a horrible elder race of half polypous, utterly alien entities... They were only partly material and had the power of aerial motion, despite the absence of wings...They exhibited a monstrous plasticity and ... temporary lapses of visibility... Singular whistling noises and colossal footprints made up of five circular toe marks seemed also to be associated with them.
    —H. P. Lovecraft, "The Shadow Out of Time"




I wanted to try and get the five toed footprint while still giving it the anemone/coral feel. The anemone tentacles are made from dried floral fronds coated with two part epoxy glue and primer.

Tsathoggua and Formless Spawn Diorama nearing completion...Should I use the original LPC number I used for the WIP pics?

Did I get the eye color correct? ;)

Crisp little sculpt, when they were first released I was really interested in them. Finally broke down for them along with the rules :)
