Quickly checking the stash.. aggh.. the German winter grenadiers would take too long, but what's this.. another 3d print? A Storm Giant you say.. right, that's Gethen sorted. Not my normal stuff, and just lots of different colours, washes and overpainting. The Van Gogh of giants perhaps. But cold.. very cold...
This chap stands 65mm tall, so counting as a 54 mm figure = 10 plus 20 for Gethen = 30 by my maths. And I think that now adds 'Fantasy' as a Squirrel! Taking my total Squirrel points to 13.

Brrr-rrrr-rrr! Nice giant, Doug! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin - and somehow my posts got out of sequence, there was supposed to be a 'Krypton' post before this one :)
DeleteMan, that's a superb Frost Giant. Well done Doug!
ReplyDeleteHigh praise indeed from yourself, I rather enjoyed it as a one off painting challenge, but I don't play any fantasy these days, Might have to get into Dragon Rampant or something.. especially as i have a few more 3d prints up my sleeve..
DeleteThat does look great and as others have said give a good frosty look
ReplyDeleteWow! Very nice painting here!
ReplyDeleteI love the deep shadows on this paint job, it gives him the gravitas of being a giant.
ReplyDeleteMore a result of starting with a much too dark colour scheme, and layering on that I suspect. But it is a fun piece. I laid down the base colours and hated it, so it's been worked and worked..
DeleteYour frosty technique is fantastic! *shiver*
ReplyDeleteThanks Natasha, and Baking Soda is your friend, just make sure you seal it really well as otherwise it will soak up moisture and ruin a figure.
DeleteFine looking gentleman, Doug!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu. Not much of a gentleman I'm sure. He looks like the sort to pick his teeth with an icicle after a feast of murder hobo.
DeleteSplendid looking frost giant!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. A happy accident then. I nearly binned him after the first day...
DeleteHe makes me cold just looking at him. Well done
ReplyDeleteLovely cold tones there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks... i just keep chucking paint at it till I like it... :)
