Ugly Giant

As part of an ancient trade, I agreed to paint the below giant for one of my fellow club members who likes my painting style enough to consistently give me things in exchange for paint jobs. I thought I'd share the pictures here.


It took me a long time to get to painting this particular figure because, frankly, it's a hideously ugly sculpt...to the point where, from a painter's viewpoint, it's intimidating. But it turns out the very ugliness of this figure has its own appeal—once the paint is actually on. Karl seemed quite pleased

I left the base blank because I know that Karl has a very distinctive basing style using concrete patch. I'll let him fix it up just how he likes.


As fun as it was to see how pleased Karl was with the work I did on this figure, I for one am glad to see the back of it.

...how about you?
