miniatures make me unusually happy
1:6 scale burger boxes. Hopefully I’ll have time to fill them after school ends! 👌
Recently I got into miniature painting, after a 12 year wait. Here's the progression over the past month or so.
This is one of the first miniatures I ever did, back when I was 10 or 11. A bit worse for wear.
The first figure I did in my recent stuff was this dnd miniature I practiced with (the arm broke in delivery so I glued it on.)
These other ones are in no particular order, but I am particularly proud of the bony one and the bike.
And finally, my most recent one was a redo of my dnd miniature, which I think turned out very very well.
Here's all of them together. (Plus some extras)
If ppl find this interesting, might post more about it and more of my models as I do them, who knows.
Intuitive abstract mini
Palm sized watercolor
I made a tiny boo shelf instead of updating my fics, oops
I can imagine Fulgrim looking a little uncanny (to quote a forum thread not even slightly related, he should be "straddling the line between alluring and disturbing"). But he shouldn't look ugly. He should be beautiful, but with this creeping feeling underneath, that something isn't quite right.
Did you see Snek Fulgrim back? This is a masterpiece! This is why Lucius, Saul, favius etc. has beautiful arses 😄
Yeah, I've seen this and to be honest, I don't really know how to feel about it.
The sculptor, who did this model, said in an interview, he made Fulgrim's face ugly on purpose (because Chaos, yadda, yadda), despite him being described as beautiful in the novels (yes, even the demonic version. Terrifyingly beautiful - and the new miniature's mug is anything but beautiful).
So this overdimensional gluteus maximus (that isn't needed for a snake) smacks of ridiculing Fulgrim and pigeonholing him into something, because it doesn't come from a place of love by its creator.
Yeah, I know, I may be overinterpreting things here, but that's just how I feel.
If you love the model - absolutely all the power to you!
But I won't buy it. Those are my Fulgrim-minis and when my hobbyspace is up and running again, I will paint them.
