So here’s the elf from the Milton Bradley/GW Heroquest game. I originally painted him a god ten or twelve years ago, but did his hair grey, which ended up looking very blue. All that timehe’s been a bench-warmer. No-one wanted use a blue haired elf as thier PC, and I really can’t blame them. so finally I repainted his hair as blonde, and maybe someone will put him in, coach!
If I had another copy of this figure, I’d definitely give him a pointed cap, like Zelda.
The other thing I photographed is a column I made out of Sculpy a while back. I keep buying bricks of Sculpy and thinking I’ll do a bunch of cool terrain or monsters and instead I let my daughter make koalas and stuff out of it. But one time we both worked on projects and I decided to make a sun and moon idol. I think I was definitely plagarizing John Blanche’s moon faces from his GW work. I’m not quie sure what I’ll do with this; it could be an idol used by humanoids, or the ancients; it could equally well be some sort of magical trick or trap.

An angry moon
The nice thing about stuff like this is takes almost no time to paint. Just a bunch of dry-brushing over black paint.
I don’t think I ever seen the blue haired version of this elf Mike but I’m sure the blonde of each will have more fun!
I’ve seen sculpy stuff before but never put much thought into trying to carve or sculpt anything. Painting is hard enough for this overgrown kid. Hoping to get over for some gaming soon but not sure about this week. I probably won’t know until last minute to see what’s going on at work.
