Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: D&D(&D))

[ZeroTwentythree]

That is a very cool figure and an excellent paint job! I hadn’t heard of that manufacturer before, thanks for posting. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the dwarves - the ones you’be already done look great.

Thank you! Sandstorm Miniatures has done a few KS, the last (which this was part of) focused on mythical beasts. The sculptor of the troll, Drew Williams, has done a lot of work for various companies. His own "brand" is Satyr Art Studio (https://satyrartstudio.ecwid.com/) which currently has one of the two giant trolls he did for Sandstorm. This one may join it in his store, I don't know. A lot of the other trolls I've painted the past couple years have been from his shop as well.

You have done a sterling job on a unique and interesting figure. Great job.

Cool miniature but my god what a paint job😳

Thank you both! It is a really interesting figure, and was enjoyable to paint.

That is a rather nice Troll Giant Thingy.

Reminds me of the McDeath Giant...



...crossed with a Gruffalo.

Ha! You nailed it on both counts. Is that supposed to be the giant or an ent from McDeath, though? Either way, a good modern stand-in.

That's a great mini and a great PJ.
I want one!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks, it really is a great sculpt.

I'm looking to get into the Deadcember spirit. These are unfinished from last year, and possible Deadcember 2020 candidates.



Unrelated and not strictly new (pretty old figure & paint, in fact), earlier this year I dropped this figure onto a concrete floor and it took significant damage. I finally finished touching up both figure and base.

Everytime I see the Fistborkus meme it makes me smile, if not laugh. I've been wanting to do this for a while...



I kitbashed a Fistborkus!

I don't know who created the original meme, but thank you! 🍻

What a world we live in 

[beefcake]

, I've never seen that meme before. The mini does it justice and I want one!

I would also take a Fistborkus. The dog looks like one my wife and I rescued from a shelter in the US Virgin Islands.

I mean... she had a normal head, but the body color and spots otherwise are dead on.

  I would have been frightened if the head was the same too! Funny that they're such a match.



December is becoming a stressful end to a stressful year due to work related stuff. Extremely busy. So not a lot of painting lately. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to paint at least one undead in Deadcember!

Converted skeleton using a skull received in a box of stuff from Shadespyre quite a while ago.

Oldschool Christmas skeletons painted for Deadcember.

[ZeroTwentythree]

I have moved from old metal skeletons to rescuing second-hand plastic skeletons. These are from the first wave of Citadel plastics. I've always liked them better than the second version which were much too large/bulky.  A shame they're hard to come by. So I'll make-do with assembled & broken second hand figures!




But wait.... who's that behind them?



The Grenadier Demogorgon figure was a Christmas gift from my wife three years ago. I finally painted it! I didn't really have an interest in it until it was made (sort of) famous from it's appearance in Stranger Things -- a show that struck a lot of chords with me. After years on my painting desk, he finally got painted in my "undeadish" colors. I wish I could get a better photo. There's quite a bit of subtle color that got washed out.

That's the nicest pj I've seen on the demigorgon. Now you've made me want one.

[Elk101]

Great job on the demogorgon with a striking colour scheme. I have the exact same model on my painting desk now and it's a really lovely miniature.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thank you, I'm flattered. After several years of procrastinating, it was an enjoyable figure to paint.


On the last day of Deadcember 2020, I finished the last of the ten skeletal cavalry I recently started.

Ah yes, that series was the first time I had heard of the demigorgon. It must be a pretty old sculpt but you have made it look great!

Very nice painting on the demogorgon: the subtle undershadings on the belly are very well done!
