Painted up one of Kev's recent sculpts, a goblin archer from Knightmare Miniatures. I decided to try something different and painted him with natural flesh tones. I think it gives him an uncanny look!
I thought I replied about the goblin earlier but I guess I didn't. There's a lot to unpack here. The technical skill shown in painting it is just beyond human. I used to make chaos weirdos simply by painting a goblin with Caucasian skin tones and it always makes a very uncanny looking creeper but this paintjob is just beyond the extra mile.
I like that he wears a hood... over a helmet... with a spike on it? How does that work? That's such a gobbo thing to do. I also really like that it's a historical style of helmet (skull cap with rondels) with a fantasy flourish (spike on top). It's also very upsetting that he seems to run around more or less naked under a maille shirt. Like that shirt probably has a canvas liner sewn inside it and that's all he wears. The mind recoils in horror at the myriad implications.
I saw the epic bot over on FB, and I'll say what I didn't say then:
I find the proportions and pose of it to be full of personality - the determination that its marching forth with, the fact that it has no neck making it look almost obstinate.
