This was done over the space of a weekend, including the GS work. I am quite pleased, though the base needs weighting at the front and the pictures don't do him justice [might try for better ones. Though white with a white background.. makes for difficult editing.
]He started off as the Night Goblin shaman, I chopped off his staff just under the head dress stuff and I removed his weapon in the other hand. Using my limited GS skills [not entirely happy with the sack or the stick of 'candy' in his hands], I added the following; beard, fur trimmings around his sleeves and hood, a ball at the top of his hood, the bag and his cane.
I could have done better with the hat, it's a bit lumpy in places and might have been better to have removed the twin moon icon. The cane of 'candy' could have been smoother, as the bag could have been. But in my defence I'm still learning, practice makes perfect.
His base is made from cork, done for another mini in fact, and was painting in various shades of grey. I added Ghostly Grey to give it a more blue edge to it to fit with the cold look. The show is Bicarbonate of Soda [not baking powder], mixed with PVA glue, then when it was drying I sprinkled on some more Bicarbonate of Soda to give it a nice sparkling look.
All that needs doing is weighting his base and varnishing him tomorrow.
So...
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
