AndyG WIP (pic heavy)

[KruleBear]

WOW! I have been out of pocket for awhile and comeback to see you knocking it out of the park again. Not-Conan is looking good and Slambo's base is very cool.

 

[AndyG]

Loads of green and red and purple in the shadows been referencing Franzzeta love his work it's quite simply the best. So skin done and onto metal. I really like this mini.

 

[Mally]

Well I suppose it's not too bad.......

 

[SkelettetS]

great skintones here man, but isnt the proportions a bit off? his legs feels tiny and the belly area too long. or something! oh and whatsup with the size 5 shoes lol

 

[Dragonsreach]

............. whatsup with the size 5 shoes lol

He's not wearing his crocs!

 

[AndyG]

Yes he has ballerina feet! I'm going to do a swamp base to cover up the twinkle toes. The legs are fine it's just a bit of forced perspective front the camera angle.

I know now there are issues with the sculpt but I still think it is a über cool mini.

been doing some metal and fur

 

[SaintToad]

You've caught the balance of grimness and vitality that defines Conan. You are mining the true Frazetta vein now.

 

[Foxtail]

I think could be the worst sculpt on the planet and that nmm would cover it up pretty well.

Nice work on the skin tones and the metals.

 

[SkelettetS]

the guy also has 8 pecs! :bulgy-eyes:

okay. im not a fan of the mini, obviously. lol.
also i must point out a little black dot just beneath his jaw. in case you missed

love the metal painting though, spot on.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Yes he has ballerina feet! Oh I hope not, I've seen 'Ballerina feet' <shudders>

I know now there are issues with the sculpt but I still think it is a über cool mini.

I agree.

the guy also has 8 pecs! :bulgy-eyes:
love the metal painting though, spot on.

Crossbelt over his pec's Andy's not done yet then the 6 Abs.
Massive Abs!

 

[Pictish Mini Painting]

That slambo is ace. amazing textured look to the NMM surfaces, gives a lovely real world feel.

 

[AndyG]

Im scared to put it up again in case Stef find a third nipple or webbed toes on him

the black dot ain't paint unfortunately it's a bubble in the sculpt I'm going to do a tiny roll of milliput over the top as an extra fang on the necklace.

Other than that he's pretty much done now. Even though it's been spot the inbred Cimmerian genetic flaw fest I've got to say I've thoroughly enjoyed painting him and I am definitely going to go to town doing the base.......to cover his tiny toes. (I bet Arnie never had this grief on set!)

 

[clarke]

Looks great, love the skin, helmet, shield, axe, leather, can't wait to see the base.

 

[ten ball]

Tip top as usual mate.
Because most of the photos are from sligtly above instead of in line with the mini it's giving the impression that the barbarians legs / feet are out of scale.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Lovely skin and leathers, great work. Your Slambo looks amazing as well.

 

[AndyG]

Started on the base just a few tweeks should see it done. Gone for a Stygian tomb look.

 

[Foxtail]

Base looks awesome Andy! You going with swampy water to cover his twinkle toes?

He definitely stands out against all that green as well.

 

[Meph]

Yup, that's an ominous shade of green for sure.

 

[Hairster]

Looking lush, as Fox and Meph have said the greens on that base look great and ooze subterannean goodness.

Great offset for the skin tones too.

 

[SkelettetS]

very nice. i thought it was a 54mm miniature before seeing this last picture!

now go and sculpt these 6 nipples he is missing lol
