Cthonian from Brian Lumly's The Burrowers Beneath
The Base is a 2 inch round washer [black curve at botom] It could also double for various Wyrm spawn from Werewolf: the Apocalypse, but it was made for the Call of Cthulhu RPG. [b][i]“Flowing tentacles and a pulpy gray-black, elongated sack of a body.…no distinguishing features at all other than the reaching, groping tentacles. or was there - yes! – a lump in the upper body of the thing…a container of sorts for the brain, ganglia, or whatever diseased organ governed this horror’s loathsome life!”[/i] – Brian Lumley, The Burrowers Beneath [/b] Thanx to my friend tobus who took the digital photos. [conflicting scheduals prevent daylit photo shoots for my minis]. One day i might be able to gat some better photos of this thing. [size=2] It was made by: twisting pipe cleaners [channel] into the desired form. [sorta like a pipe cleaner tree] I then burned the outer fuzz away with a cigarette lighter. Twisted body into pose Used hot glue to attach to 20 cent washer Applying Hot glue to entire form using nozzle to shape texture got the slimy textures. I then Primed with black automotive primer Base coated with black ink & white glue mix I had.[being out of black paint sux] Spray Gloss coat 1 & 2 I added floral wire for the feeder tendrils that drain the fluids from its victims inside the mouth that I painted purple at bottom to red tips [pic did not capture this] Spray Gloss coat 3 & 4 Dry-brushed orange. purple, yellow and green metallics for the oil slick iridescent sheen. Spray Gloss coat 5 mixed white glue with sand and buried wyrm's tail to make Cthonian look like it was burrowing out of the base. [/size] Well right now i am working on Some dark young of Shub-Niggurath using the pipe cleaners trees concept http://www.terragenesis.co.uk as a base design and coating with hot glue as the cthonian i did. I will have to epoxy putty some hooves for it once the body is made. this site has what one sorta looks like www.paratime.ca/v_and_v/pics/darkyoung_bw.jpg
