Behind you!
« on: February 01, 2009, 12:35:38 AM »
And now it's finished, quite suprised at how quickly I got it done, hairdryers speed things up immensely :D This is for Iron Painter over at wyrd, the theme was "the colour purple" so I thought I'd do something Lovecraft inspired, as his prose was decidedly purple :P I resculpted Morgan's clothes quite a lot to fit in with a more "pulp" feel, and the base is scratchbuild, shame to paint that lovely wooden plinth but sacrifices must be made.

Finished pic, photobucket made it small :(


However, here's a link to the fullsize pic over at Wyrd:

That was quick!
Great idea, nice conversion & paintjob - definitely looks pulpy. One little niggle: maybe the tentacles would look better if they were a bit wet/ glossy.

realy cool scene  8)


agree about the slime effect on the tentacles and door frame, that would add that little bit extra to it.
composition is fantastic and sets a good atmosphere.

What about adding a couple of red eyes in the gloom of the doorway?

Miniature...great!  :mrgreen:

Conversions...great!  :mrgreen:

Paint-job...great!  :mrgreen:

Large expanse of plain base...empty canvass waiting for some suitably Cthulu symbols/pictures/dialogue.  Even the title would be nice...

There is also a step at the back between the building corner and the block of the base.  Yes, it is picky but if you want to win competitions, you need to focus on attention to detail ;).

Love the conversion. Have to say, I prefer it to the original!

Echo the need for some slime, but that doesn't really detract from the paintjob.
