Painting - Christmas Goblin Team - WIP Indigo - Dec 17, 2003 - 03:18 AM Post subject: Christmas Goblin Team - WIP
More pics to come soon, but here's a quick look at my first troll:
Although the painting looks less impressive in the pic than in real life IMO I still think it's one of the best, if not the best, lpaint jobs I've done. Particularly pleased with the "belly flesh" Old_Man_Monkey - Dec 17, 2003 - 04:12 AM Post subject:
Awesome paint job, my friend, but that has got to be the silliest looking troll I've seen . . . Indigo - Dec 17, 2003 - 04:44 AM Post subject:

Looks Great! All he needs now is a beard and a bag of goodies. Looking forward to seeing more of these christmax minis of yours.

I always thought Trolls should be scary....but he's just cute (not a good attribute for a BB player....unless you're Zara).
I like it...great job

Awesome! I suggest you model some reindeer horns on the next Troll. Make the artificial aspect obvious Mestari - Dec 17, 2003 - 10:33 AM Post subject:
A obviously fake beard on the troll would be awesome too, but I realise that might be hard to do...KLK - Dec 17, 2003 - 10:43 AM Post subject:
I think that the only problem with this X'mas team is that you can only use them once per year.Darkson - Dec 17, 2003 - 03:10 PM Post subject:
Noooo! Christmas is for all-year round!
Nice one Indigo, look forward to seeing more of them.SuM - Dec 19, 2003 - 05:17 AM Post subject:
What do you use to make the Fur around the Hat and the little white Tuff on the back of it???
And what procedures did you use to texture it???
If you need you can PM me the method, but I think it would go great with this thread...
The MINI IS AWESOME!!
Great job Bro!!!Indigo - Dec 19, 2003 - 07:40 AM Post subject:
I sculpted the hat & fur out of green stuff and textured it by using the "pointy" end of the sculpting tool. I had to do LOADS of holes, otherwise it looks like crap - you need holes on top of holes to make it work.
I also extended the almost non-existant pelt between his legs - it was originally about 3mm long and I needed more red areas to create a bigger contrast. I chopped the bone in his right hand off, resculpted some fingers then VERY carefully bent it up to bring it clearly off the ground.
Still needs some work, I need to re-drybrush the hat fur and give it a few more coats of varnish.Hangus - Dec 21, 2003 - 10:16 AM Post subject:
