Dungeonalia - The Monstrous Denizens of Palooka Four
Days 6 & 7; Completion
Day 6 was mostly about applying static grass to the miniatures. The only detail work was on the Homosimilis Scarabaeus, where I added was the reattachment of the broken pincer, and painted the eyes and gums. During the painting, I was very pleased to notice how I accidentally have a greenish shadow on the carapace. Reminds me of examples here on earth where moss or algae can grow in the spaces between scales on crocodiles and the like.
Day 7 was primarily about finishing touches and making sure I was happy. A highlight for the Ferradversus Diaboli and a Reikland flesh shade for the fleshiest parts of the Homosimilis Scarabaeus were the main details.
I’m quite happy with how this ended. While the Ferradversus Diaboli was the most outwardly basic, it was fun to experiment crudely with the tufts on the body of the miniatures. I am pleasantly surprised on how much better than expected the Homosimilis Scarabaeus turned out. Between the colour choices and the shading, it’s one of my technically better models recently.
Lastly but not leastly, the Terribilis Dolorus was more trouble than expected but I’m glad I went in a different direction. Although I was tempted by the classical fly agaric look, going down the cave mushroom was fun. The finished project makes think of a brightly glowing cavern, where the fruiting caps add a natural hat brim. This results in the faces be heavily obscured by the shadows.
Thank you to anyone who read this little project. It’s my very first fully completed project on OTT. I think I shall be doing more.
