Been busy, could not connect before! so lots of comments for everyone!

Andy: You have finished the mini and I still have to receive mine!! hahaha Nice work on the tattoo, I like the bluish tone of it, also I like the shine on the eye on the banner, it makes me think of an eagle one.

Maxxxx: Your slugg is really disgusting xD cannot wait to see it with some colour and slime on!

Zab: I completely agree with the design that you have chosen, I am intrigued on how those rainbow tears will look like. On the other hand... you are almost obligued to paint a crystall skull!! It could be a madness to paint! xD

Webmonkey: I like that mini a lot, and I did not knew that pigments could also be applied on skin....

Jike Ichi: I liked your work on the "Chinese flying monkey" a lot... I am sure this sharkey will be great too, looks like the poster of the old 80's? movie!

Teronus: Pitty that you have to leave this one ;(

Crystella: Intrigued on which colour are you going to choose... That dragon looks BIG! Will you have enough time to finnish it?

Fluister: I like the Egyptian look of what you have chosen, I can see a shift to golden yellow on the extended "hand" I like that a lot. (Figone has just released two Egyptian themed bases, must have a look at them ;) )

Marjedi: That glottkin or whatever its called is massive, but I can appreciate that multi colored airbrush work has moved you forward very fast!

Tenball: Is awesomeness what you eat for breakfast? Loving your work so far and that sculpt in your hands will be superb.
On the paints... I have problems controlling scale75, almost every time I end up getting a dusty/grainy finish sometimes (it gets more pronounced with skin tones) I think I still do not thin them correctly.

Oistene: Interesting colour for that wicked flesh... wanna see more of it ;)

Moetle: Intrigued on how you deal with those horns...

The rest of people participating (me included): C'mon!! get up! xD

Well I've seen a dark blue, a red and an amber/sandy/golden one so I think this will be a frosty one in purple/whitey tones. Its a big boy but I can get this one done in time.

@Maenas. Well, I actually love all living things in nature. So I'm not really feeling good presenting you a great white as a monster. :(
Still I think I will make him look agressive, after all it's a perfect predator of the seas. Would love to see one in nature (well not while swimming...) :)

Forgot to mention that I drilled out the eyes. As the white shark normally just has black eyes I didn't want to just paint a black circle. I want them to look as realistic as possible. I will fill in clear resin to make them look real. A first try, let's see if that comes out nice. If yes, I will try to do a realistic human eyeball with my next greater bust project.

C'mon Zab,.. it'd just be like painting one gigantic jewel. (or you could make a mould, and pour a clear (or slightly color tinted) resin into,.. and re-cast the skull as something "crystal-esque"??)

-_- You know, it's loud enough with all the voices in my head already. The Agent of Chaos wanted a DoD skull for her Bday so that is what "the client" (Read: little monster) gets. Though I could see myself trying a crystal skull in the future... you know when my sanity isn't so... fragile.

Oh yeah that's that slug one from Rackham excellent gross creature! I hope your doing some slimy base.

Skull is coming along nicely.

Any way I'm done now. Not the best sculpt in the world but lots of fun getting it finnished and i particularly liked doing the tattoo and the banner.

... How did you do that so fast?!? I didn't even start and I think I already lost lol...​

Ah that's easy I have no life other than painting!.............there is only the way of the brush.........all else is illusion....time and space are mutable.........kolinsky sable is the one true bedrock of reality ;)

Really kind of confused on what's a monster - I have lots of human(oids), but not a lot of true monsters - a few dragons and a cthulu, but they are way too large for this.
I don't really have gods either.

Does a cyborg gorilla count? :D

Aye, tho the dragons would count too as monsters as two of us are doing them :)
There really is no limit on size :D

I can't help but see you as a short and ancient chinese monk, talking in riddles and telling us to wax on/wax off.
