From AlexS: Bronze Fangs Clan (60 Points)

Hello everybody! My name is Alex, I'm from Russia. I take part in this wonderful event for the third time. The first day is always very inspiring. First I wanted to paint 100 miniatures for the first day, but that I will not surprise anyone. So I decided to do something special, interesting for readers and participants. Therefore, I present to you the clan "Bronze Fangs". This is a clan of ghouls, which will suit any fantasy-related gaming system. They are painted with the help of an airbrush.


But there is nothing new and interesting in the painting of fantasy miniatures. So I decided to show my simple idea of using cheap, but interesting Chinese products from the store with cheap prices. This bear cost me about half a pound. Then I took some material for modeling and a goblin model.




 And now I am the model of this model. It seems to me that it turned out unexpectedly and interestingly - especially the part of the muzzle, where the meat and skin were peeling off and the bone of the skull uncovered (oh, that's what it's white there!)





But I thought and decided that simply conversion would not surprise readers and participants. Then I again went to the Chinese goods store and bought a piggy bank in the form of a skull. I added a few stairs from the images and got here such an object. What is this observation tower? Arbor for rest? I do not know.




Then I painted this object and added details. By the size it turned out approximately 6"x6"x5"









Then I put ghouls on this object and was pleased. In my first post I did everything, which coincides with the thought of the organizer, our Snow Lord, - there is a monster and a terrain. I hope you will remain as satisfied as I am. :)

First, welcome back to the Challenge, Alex! It's great to one of our most prolific painters hit the ground running with this wonderfully creative opening entry.

While the monstrous bear and the ghouls are excellent, I must say that the giant skull totem is truly inspired. I especially like the rickety scaffolding, giant mushrooms and bronze teeth. It has a very 1930s pulp adventure feel about it. Wonderful work!

The five ghouls, giant bear ghoul rider and the skull totem will give you 60 points (with a few bonus points added for the scratchbuilding and size of the bear). A terrific opening entry Alex!
