Yes, Yes, It's The Miniature From THAT Show...

 ...don't make a fuss about it.


The Rock wonders who this jabroni is.


Like most painters, I usually have a few different things on the go on the painting desk - mostly just to keep from wasting paint (if I have some left over from my current project, I'll put it on another miniature). I started this guy before I started the miniatures for Ral Partha Legacy, and took it over the finish line at the same time I finished the stuff in the previous post. Scratch that - I REALLY started this guy in 1984, but didn't get much further than some dark red on his back (demons are red, donchaknow). I decided to paint him for real last year, but wanted to use a Reaper paint called Retro Slate, so no all-red demon.


Blue Angel? Nooo, not really...

Looking at the pics for this guy, I probably just need to stop trying to be clever with some sort of backdrop, as these are actually decent (3D print The Rock giant looming in the background not withstanding...)

The miniature is kinda goofy and flat and wasn't super fun to paint, what with the transitions in texture and me putting contrasting colors next to each other (SO much touching up). However, it's nice and large (I put him on a 40mm base for those keeping track), so I had little trouble painting the details. Groovy critter, I'll probably use him as a warp entity or chaos spawn in future games.

I mentioned 3D prints - I have managed to do that a good bit over the past few months - I mean, you set it up, and come back a few hours lated to a (hopefully) successful print, great for how lazy I've been for the past many months. Of course, I really need to start painting them before they completely take over my painting table :/

This guy? He IS the painting table.
