I'm really curious as to who sculpted this one. It is a figure crammed with lovely texture and detail that I love, even though it was too fine to paint easily.
For instance, the belly and back are covered in a texture suggestive of fine hair. But I had no idea how to paint that, so I did it as skin and hoped my washes would articulate it well enough.
Painting difficulties aside, I love the personality of this figure. And its weight. It's a serious piece of metal. That base is a 2" washer.
That is an amazing model - someone out there must know where I can get one?!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is. I'm seeing Tim at the CSW meeting tonight, so i'll be sure to ask him for you.
DeleteHi, any luck identifying it?
DeletePS - like what you did with the background on this mini-series.
ReplyDeleteYes! Tim let me know that the figure is the delightfully named "Lardgulp, Two Headed Troll" from Reaper, sculpted by Sandra Garrity. (http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/troll/latest/02657)
DeleteRe: backgrounds--Thanks! I'm liking it too. It's just one of my favorite band t-shirts (Dead Meadow). It's a thing I'm going to be doing more of cuz it looks cool, it encourages me to buy more band tshirts, it's MUCH less work, and (most importantly) it brings together two distinct areas of my aesthetic interests (weird minis and stoner metal) into a pleasing whole. Glad you like it!
Belated thanks for coming back to me on this! Cheers
