Stone Golem Mini: Stone Golem


Painted: 14th Dec – 15th Dec 2013

I just want to say how proud I am of this model. I have recently been participating in Caffeine Forge's Miniature Mondays. I found that the other painters inspire me and the 'deadline" pushes me to paint every week. When they said that this was this weeks model I wasn't very interested. I kept putting it off because I wasn't feeling inspired. But I finally decided that if I was going to get it done that I should pick up a paint brush. I decided that I would use the model to try some new techniques and the result has made me very happy.

I have never freehand painted on a mini before and all those ruins are freehanded. I also have never attempted to make something appear glowing like I did with the eyes and to an extent the runes. The photo made the glow on the cheeks a little stronger than you see on the mini but I think it turned out great.

I want to say that it wasnt the quality of model that made me feel unexcited - its just a stone golem is kinda boring and not a subject that interest me. The model itself is beautiful and I had a lot of fun painting it once I got myself started.


Primer - None


Glowing Eyes
This was something new I experimented with after watching this tutorial
