Years ago when my friend was learning digital sculpting, he told me he made me something and it was in the mail. This is what came. It's based on a wood carving from the Reformation showing the Devil playing a monk's head as bagpipes. I'm planning on using it as a Lovecraftian Servitor for 7TV Pulp. Hopefully this counts as heretical.

That's a dark figure alright , though he's wearing some dandy threads by the look of it. Another 25 to good.
Well I’ve seen nose flutes but never a nose bag pipes. Excellent work on this odd figures, looks right of medieval marginalia.
ReplyDeleteThat's certainly a very different figure, John! Nice painting! :)
ReplyDeleteTop notch
ReplyDeleteSplendid diabolical piper!

Oh wow. I TOTALLY want one of those! I love it, and your brushwork is spot on.
ReplyDeleteWell that's suitably horrifying!
ReplyDeleteLol that would explain the sound bagpipes make. Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff -- that'll be giving me nightmares!
ReplyDeleteIt’s ok - I don’t need to sleep tonight…
ReplyDeleteI am only wondering how it took you years to start painting this? :)
ReplyDeleteThe stuff of nightmares beautifully painted!
ReplyDeleteSplendidly weird
ReplyDeleteStraight out of Paosolini’s Canterbury Tales! Such a unique sculpt, lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe old medievalist in me approves.
Cheers, MikeP
