A drawing by Matthew Allison of the character it's based on:
Inspired by Allison's weirdo comic, I started with a "Tarantula" figure from Old Glory's Superfigs line. I filled in the eyes with green stuff before priming. Ideally the body would have a little less muscle definition, but what the heck.
I tried to keep the colors light but still have some contrast and shading. I have to say it was fun painting a miniature that wasn't covered in lots of little doohickeys and details, because I was able to finish it pretty fast.
The other cool thing about this mini is that I sent a picture of it to Matthew Allison and he liked and it looks like he's going to trade me a piece of art for it. Yay!

That is cool! I'm not surprised the artist likes it... people like having fans who like their work enough to be inspired by it :)
ReplyDeleteCalling his work surreal is an understatement if ever there was one. I can never get into stuff like that, because I myself am so bloody literal-minded. I'm not even super into Salvador Dali.
I like this yellow dude :-)
