Liking the Gobbo what colours are you doing the wasp/hornet to tie in with the rest of the model ?

I spent some weeks living amongst the Gobbo, learning their ways...adapting to their habits...so I think that I am MORE than qualified to speak about the cultural and biological traits of the Gobb. This is especially true of the Woodling Gobbo tribe, the SnotSnaryl Clan if my memory serves me correct. The so-called "wasp" affixed to his staff is actually referred to as a Honey Buzzard, and it's noxious poison is capable of neutralizing foes by rendering them disabled with acute flatulence.
Of this particular delineation I would posit that his red nose needs some blue at its base in order to be more convincing and reflective of a SnotSnaryl Gobbo....

Goblin looks so great, 10, doing justice to an awesome sculpt. To me, the fact that the rock ends at a uniform distance from the edge of the plinth, with a uniform deposit of leaves all around it, draws attention to itself. I'm not saying you need to change it (in fact, the base overall looks incredible), but perhaps you could acknowledge the conceit of the floating rock by e.g. removing some of the leaves, or be extending them up onto the rocks? In any event, it looks great and I'm glad you're back at it!
P.S. Congrats, too!

Cheers all
Ritual - yeah I know what you mean, Andy has said the same. Its a herculean task and due to time limits and seeing the base accounts for only 10% of the points at Euro im going to leave it. I dont think the time spent would effect the overall look that much.
Wargames - just has to be yellow for maximum impact I reckon
Saintoad - originally I planned for the rock to be centred on the plinth by itself but as the project evolved I liked the idea of an 'island' in a sea of forest leafs.
Because of the play in scales (large wasp/small gobo / large mushroom etc vice-a-versa) and the nature theme I see this as a sister piece to my snail / hare (large snail / small hare / large flower etc)
A few hours last night on the acorn and wasp. Im really happy with how this ones turned out

I'll buy that about the base, Lee. I also think that the same elements make this a sort of 'whimsical fantasy' (as opposed to 'I blast your guts out with magic-fantasy') piece, where the lack of naturalism is forgivable or even assumed. As long as it's a deliberate choice, it's entirely yours to make.
As far as the model itself, I think (and expected) that this is now my new favorite of yours. I think you have had an absolutely incredible year of painting, and this brings together a great deal of the things I think you've improved. From a relative beginner who has always looked at your work with great admiration, know that I think you should be really proud of this piece and the level of quality your hard work and talent have achieved. You're turning out inspiring stuff very regularly, my man!

The Honey Buzzard looks ace my dude!!!!
Oh, and do you think you could do a tutorial explaining how you use this: View attachment 51535
I got the part where you step #1 grab mini, step #2 turn upside down, step #3 dip it, but I am unsure what to do next...your expertise is needed.
