And now for something completely different...for me anyway. I generally paint Space Marines, but these little guys just kept calling to me. How can anyone see these, and NOT want to paint one? I wanted to break away from the traditional red squigs, as well as the typical exploding-retina green gobbo. This entire mini was done without a basecoat. I went from glaze to glaze, adding an orange/brown, then a darker shade mixed with purple, green, and/or gray. After that, I glazed a lighter color on the highlights. I repeated this 3-step process about 30 times, going from median, shade, highlight...over and over again. The first couple of tries looked a bit odd, but after a few hours of this little dance, the colors really started to come alive.
With this mini, I tried to emulate Mathiue Fontaine's "Hop We Go", although using a different pallet...I'm obviously NOT Mr. Fontaine.
Thanks for checking it out, and C&C is always welcome.

It turned out quite nice in the end, though not to say it couldn't use improvement. The squig itself looks superb from the front, though from the sides the wrinkles simply don't convince me! Broader highlights there would be welcome.
The Goblin's skintone is beautiful, but everything gets a little messy by his bum. Some cleaning up should do it. Aside from that, I like the colour choices and simplicity of the piece. Great work!
