It has been an age it seems since I finished a mini, my life has been full of work and also to my downfall World Of Warcraft. This mini was given to me by a friend and is the first Fenryll mini that I have painted. I have to say that when I first started it I loved it the face has so much character that every brush stroke was a pleasure and that was how it was until I came to the feet.
The complete contrast from good sculpting to very poor is astounding the feet are not very well sculpted at all and I really struggled to make them look anything like a poor sod with a club foot.
I tried several colour variations on the feet but everything I tried just looked like crap so in the end I went for metal shod feet. I know that that would not be practical or even correct for a sea going chap but believe me anything else just didn't work.
In the end I am pleased with the finished mini not my best work I know but still good enough to sit in my display case and not look out of place.
I'll try to make the next completed mini a bit quicker in the making
