All eyes

This guy likes them a lot. And he's terrifying. And he can summon Alps. All of that makes him quite useful in game. But that's not the reason I chose to paint him up. I just love the sculpt. Receding hairline, weird tentacles instead of mouth, tail coat and torn pants.

I tried to get an ugly, old look on his skin to go with the tattered clothes. His pants were a bit of a challenge as I wanted to paint red and yellow stripes (like in the catalogue pic), which wasn't that easy as he's in a dynamic pose. I added some green glazes before final highlights to add age to them too and I think it worked out pretty well in the end.

 

For some reason I can't get rid of the glossy look on black elements that I get in the pictures, irl these elements are covered with matt varnish and don't shine.
I just wish Wyrd would write more about his background as he's basically presented as some kind of old, nasty creature from you-don't-want-to-know-where. And then there's the matter of his connection with Hoffman...

Om Nom Nom Nom

Also, I finally got my copy of Evil Baby Orphanage. I hope to get a game or two this weekend...
