Vrock / Type I demon

 

 

A mini painted many years ago. Demons lend themselves to unusual and varied colors and styles, making them interesting subjects. I really enjoyed working with the blues and purples so extensively on this piece. Vroc demons are my favorite of the classics; I hope  to paint more.

Brown Jenkin

 This is a fun one! Brown Jenkin is one of my favorite HPL antagonists. Sure, lesser known than the big squid head guy, but so disturbing, sadistic, and no less enigmatic. He is something of a household boogeyman, so naturally I had to paint him up! This piece was sculpted by Schlossbauer, and I printed it at a very small size. For reference, the base is 15mm, making it one of the smaller works in my collection; roughly in-scale with a rat. 

As the years go by, I find myself increasingly interested in smaller and smaller miniatures. I even have a few projects that are at 10mm or less, and I thoroughly enjoy printing itty-bitty models. They are fast, I guess, and as a parent , I really need that to keep a glimmer of my hobby alive.

Earth Elemental Daemon

The second in the series of Ral Partha Elemental Daemons I have in my collection. This is my least favorite of the bunch, but I still think he is nice after all these years. each of these elemental daemons certainly bring something different from your standard elemental stuff. The fire elemental had a skeleton, this fellow has some plant elements, and they all have a definite sense of malice.

 

Fire Elemental Daemon

 This toasty fellow is one of the oldest pieces in my collection, both in terms of the paint job is a very early one and because the model itself is a classic Ral Partha piece. I think it holds up pretty well after all these years.

Mikey the Fiendish Flesh Golem

 

Mikey (or Mickey, as he is known in Descent Into Avernus), was painted for MZ4250's monthly painting competition. I went through his catalog and picked out the creepiest thing I could find (and thought I could complete on time) for a the fun thematic contest. I didn't know anything about the character  beforehand - he definitely wasn't something I expected to paint, but man, he was fun! I was able to play with all sorts of sickly and unearthly flesh types in a single piece. Definitely a good learning opportunity. Ill have to paint up his creator ("Mad Maggie") to accompany him.

Despite my best intentions, found myself waaay behind today (submission day), so I sat and cranked a good chunk of the model in one sitting. Still, I'm pretty happy with the paint. The photography, on the other hand, didn't work out as well. I am a poor studio photographer, and I don't really have proper equipment to do it right, so I tend to rely on natural light. Because I finished so late, that wasn't an option, and my crude rig of household lamps made for some unsightly shadows. 

But, hey! something new, and fun, in a ghastly sort of way
