Hello folx,

finally the beast ist finished! :bouncy:
It really took me some time to complete this mini because it has soooo many little details. But retrospective it was real fun to paint this little bugger. ;)
The base was also lots of fun but really time consuming.

Hope you like it! :)

A perfect 10 from me!
I love that axe, and the horns, and the skin... The more I look at it the more I see!
Well done for producing an all time masterpiece.

I LOVE this sculpt. Mine\'s sitting unassembled in the blister still. Just waiting for that mythical time when I have no painting deadlines looming.

Top notch job on a wonderful sculpt. I have a very different scene in mind when I picture this mini. However, I really do like the woodland setting. The owl. All the fungi. Well done!

Voted.

As nice as the fig is, the base is one of the nicest woodland scenes I\'ve seen. I think the larger scale of the mino helps, but it doesn\'t look out of place and it\'s very well done.

Seriously Brilliant! So colorful! I love the base! I keep waiting for something cute and fuzzy to come out of the tiny door.. 9.5-10 in my book!

I agree with reverend. Painting is fantastic, but I don\'t like the miniature.

I\'d love to see your stuff IRL sometime! :)

Did you feather the axe blade? I do not get how can blend such bright colors so smoothly! Whenever I try that it just looks chalky and bland.

Great work all around. I cannot get over how detailed the base is. Please write a tutorial on how to make a base such as this one!

Thanks!

Many, many thanks to you guys. Thanks for all that positive feedback. :) It\'s good to know, the hours of work pay off at the end of the day. ;)
But it\'s interesting that many of you don\'t like this mini. I love minotaurs and this is one of my favorits. But everyone to his taste... ;)

I will try to write an article about the base. I have a bunch of WIP photos, so it should be easy for everyone to rebuild this kind of forrest-base. :)

Basing tutorial!

Oh! That sounds cool. Please post an article on how you constructed that magnificent base! Please, please, please!!! Forest style bases don\'t come any better than what you\'ve created on this mini. Too cool for skool.

Regarding liking the actual mini or not. I\'ve got to say that I like the minotaurs that Rackham produce, mainly because of the cool colour schemes that painters use on \'em. Although, I\'ve gotta say that after putting myself through the excruciating experience of viewing the Narnia (Prince Of Caspian) movie, I\'ve been somewhat put off minotaurs, centaurs and most fantasy creatures that were part of that \'gay\' movie.

That aside, this is world class mini-painting at its ultra-finest!

As a little added note. Thanks Crackpot for responding to my questions that I PM\'ed you! I tried that colour mix the other night successfully thanks to your advice. Matt Cexwish, Arjay (Russell), Automaton (Sebastion), Vincenti (Adrian) and yourself have all been so kind to share your skills and answer my queries over the years! Much appreciated!!!!!

Maybe I\'m a prick, but, the (CMoN active) painters that have never responded to my questions over the years get none of my time. I don\'t bother with their painted minis, voting, comments and, I made a point of NOT buying one of these mini-painters DVD tutorials. Heheh... I\'m such a ba$tarD!

Love minotaurs and the mythology surrounding them but don\'t like this figure.
However, the painting and sculpting is top class mate.

Loving the axe blade and the base.

But Crackpot, seriously, great paintjob! Love the blending and the feeling of the whole piece~ Good job!

Amazing Minotaur dude, i love everything about it, fantastic base and great scheme.
I also love the NMM, the blue tones are excellent.

Stunning. Everything about this miniature is incredible! The base is just as exciting as the figure itself. I love it! :D
