Mr Hyde - Infamy Minatures

[megazord_man]

I have to say I think this is one of the best miniatures I've ever painted, the sculpt is amazing, you really have to paint it to fully appreciate the level of detail and thought behind it. Equally I think it's brought out my best ever paint job. These pictures really aren't doing it justice (even if I do say so myself).

While I agree that the sculpt is impressive, I'm not a massive fan of him tbh. Lovely paint though

I agree with the Freak,fantastic paint, the sculpt is just too much. Technical good but a bit too OTT.

Having seen this in RL I can attest to how spankingly good it is; the photos do it only partial justice!

I like everything about this paintjob. Dynamic shading, good color theory and detailing. I also have reservations about the sculpt. As I've stated on a previous thread, I feel the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen basically turned him into an ogre. But really I think this had it's roots in the Fredrich March version of the film where they made him very ape-like and so instilled a physical quality into him. I prefer the two Johns versions (Barrymore and Malkovich) which were both closer to the book and more cerebral. But Hyde isn't the first character to have a dramaticaly different popular view of him vs. the source material- just look at the Karloff Frankenstein monster vs. the book.

Anyways, sorry to get off on a that tangent- still a great looking project!

Great paint job on a difficult sculpt.

And Having seen the same films, I agree with Crispy.

Especially the last sentence! Great looking project, very well done.

Thanks guys,

for what it's worth I had a very similar outlook on frank until I started painting him. The more I painted the more I appreciated the sculpt to a point where for me it's the best infamy miniature. I certainly wouldn't have said that before painting him.
