Gorgon Bull thingy? |
T'other side |
The highlights look better up close ho hum |
Bones minis have an issue with skinny legs and falling over bodies but still for the price I now have monsters I only dreamed of owning when I was young. |
Great work Chris! I'm glad you've been enjoying the Challenge - I think many of us would agree that painting miniatures is a form of relaxation, if not required therapy.
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on the Bones range, but I still like many of their designs and these two beasties are very cool. Is it me, or does the troll's spiny ridge similar to that of that of Godzilla's? He must have great aspirations! I especially like how you've done the armour plate hide of the Gorgon and the green skin of the river troll. Two tough opponents for any group of adventurers, I'd expect.
You're just a little over 100 points from your goal now Chris. Keep up the great work!
Well done Chris. Love the armoured bull thingy!
ReplyDeleteNice painting Chris :)
ReplyDeleteThat Gorgon is superb. I have no use for such a beast but now I want one. Brilliant job.
ReplyDeleteBuy one, so cheap.
DeleteI done think that we are the forerunners of art therapy. The figs are very cool
ReplyDeleteApart from the brilliant paintjobs you've done on the mini's I can totally relate to your story as well. I am a teacher too and I need some down time with the brushes after my workdays as well. As a teacher your brain is working overtime all round for as long as you're at school since you have to deal with people of all age groups and IQ's and switch really fast between them all the time, so it's really nice to narrow the world down to applying a bit of colour to a particular era of a figure.
ReplyDeleteCall me elitist but i find gaming and painting brings out a slightly higher IQ and I never really thought about the mental gymnastics dealing with the kids at school. Yep Art therapy all the way I say.
DeleteYep, it's art therapy for the soul!
DeleteGreat beasties.
ReplyDeletenice work! the metallic bull is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Chris. I really like your basing technique and the metallic finish on the bull is superb.
ReplyDeleteMore great work with Reaper Bones - like you said, they're a great way to assemble a menagerie of monsters on a budget!
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks to all for your comments and please keep going too the inspiration on the pages is great.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting...these strike me as grim alternate for the bull/bear statues seen outside stock markets..."It was a real green river troll day on the TSX..."
ReplyDeleteNice work, Chris! The gorgon turned out rely well! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool pair of monsters! Nice work!
