Well, I finally got this guy finished, from armature, to casting, to paint. It is pretty awesome to have taken this guy full circle and I am very proud of it.

For those of you who don't know, I sculpted this as my first sculpt over a year ago. I chronicled that journey in this WIP. You can follow the painting in this WIP.

So, without further ado, here are the final shots (click on the pictures for full size):

He’s absolutely amazing! It’s a real awesome version of this dungeon dwelling monster.
Your paint job is very beautiful too and I like the idea of the stalagmite as a stand.

Magnificent! Nothing else to be said.

Amazing Andy. Fantastic design, excellent sculpt, marvelous paint. It's such a fun project to watch. From concept to first painted mini, thank you for inviting us into your process. I look forward to many great sculpts from you in the future.

Congratulations, Andy! It has been great seeing you take this from concept to completion. You have joined an elite few who can both sculpt and paint beautifully. I'll be one of many in line to pick this up when it becomes available. I can't wait to see what is next from you!

Beautiful work, absolutely stunning! I can't wait for Troll Forged to release him to the rest of us! You are such a good sculptor and painter! I look forward with great anticipation to each new mini that you produce!

You may spike the ball and do a touchdown dance accordingly!!! Woot!!

[MiniCannuck]

wow, fantastic work. Thank you so much for sharing the journey with the rest of us. I can't wait to purchase it.

so.... what's your next model, eh?

[TaleSpinner]

Wow, thanks for the compliments and support everyone.

so.... what's your next model, eh?

Can't really say. I have a few done and sold already, but you'll have to wait for them to be anounced by the mfgr. As for what I am working on, well again, if I want to sell it, I'll need to keep that between my client and I. I'm typically working about 6 months ahead of release, give or take a month or two. Reaper has my Animal Companions (Warthog, Vulture, and Sloth) in Preview right now.

This piece looks great. I have enjoyed watching it develope in the forums and the great feed back you have gotten from the members. I have been awaiting its release to be able to add it to my collection.

And I thought it looked good without a paint job.

[Kuro Cleanbrush]

Stunning work! It was awesome to watch your progress as you steadily painted away, and the results were well worth the time spent!

[Citrine]

He looks fantastic, and I am really looking forward to you unveiling your future work

Admittedly, this is what actually got me wanting to sculpt. When I was younger, my older brother used to play war hammer, and that was my first taste of mini painting. Unfortunately, I didn't understand that there was pinning, and putting together models, so when I bought my own things, I didn't get too far on them. When I did get interested in them again a while back (thank you Citrine), I hadn't even thought about sculpting until I saw this guy's WIP. It's really awesome to see him finished now. :)
