Big lads
« on: November 04, 2014, 08:51:03 PM »
One so far! An Otherworld Miniatures giant. I've got three more on the go and then an Ettin to do plus a few other odds and sods.



Fun to do although I'm sure I'll be sick of painting bare skin by the end of the week. I was a bit unsure about doing the eyes at first seeing as they're so much bigger than most of the eyes I have to paint. I didn't want to just have big black blobs for eyes so went with a more realistic three colour eye. I'm pleased enough with how they turned out.

Lovely skin work. The eyes certainly look good.

All the best,

That is a cracking paint job; love the tones on the fur and fingers/toes.

I'm a fan of Otherworld Miniatures and amongst my modest horde I have a frost giant to build and paint at some point.
Best Regards

Wow, that's amazing, how much you got out of the mini. Wonderful, seriously. :-*

Thanks for the comments everyone.

It's certainly a nice model and not too big either. I always expect giants to be absolutely huge but this fella's what you might call 'realistically' giant at just over 50mm.

Should have another finished today at some point.

It's lovely - I always like the whole 'limited palette/muted tones' thing you do, (which I keep trying to copy and failing!), but I think it really suits this sculpt; they match up beautifully!

Me too (both the liking and the copying/failing parts).
