Nyarlathotep

 when i started collecting pulp figures and such few years ago,
one of the stories i wanted to tell through tabletop wargaming were the
tales of H.P. Lovecraft and the cosmic horrors he created.

so after much sitting on the idea of actually getting a figure i came across a
shop on Etsy.com that had several Lovecraftian creatures.

so i placed an order with TranscendentalPrints.
and within eight days i had in my hands on of the best 3-d printed figures
i have ever seen.

click here to check out TranscendentalPrints page on Etsy.com.

when i was in the process of ordering this figure i did sort of messed up on the size
and i went with a 75mm tall.

after i got the figure and took a good look at it i should have gone with a 100mm.
it would have made him look more dominate on the tabletop.

 

according to the shop Etsy page the figure is made out of resin,
but from past experiences with resin i had to wash the model
with hot water and soap,
but with this i literally took it from the shipping package to spray primer on it
and then paint it like so.

i didn't know what color scheme i should have went with when painting it.
i went with the slapchop painting method because i wanted to get it down quick.

at first i thought i wanted to do a red-pink for the torso part of the model.

wanted to add some accents around the opening in the head so i highlighted the ribbed
parts and up along to the top with some layers of pinks.

for the bottom section of the figure i wasn't sure what to do.
in the end i went with a dark blue and layered it up with some lighter shades of blue.
blending it in the middle so i didn't have a certain cut off of the colors in between.

the picture doesn't do justice of the blue highlights but i am very pleased how
this all came out.
might have to look into more to be made.
