Nice!

I should build some minis myself, but I'm not really all that crafty. Course, y'know what they say about practice.

Trust me this was easy

It was made by:

twisting pipe cleaners [channel] into the desired form. [sorta like a pipe cleaner tree]

I then burned the outer fuzz away with a cigarette lighter.

Twisted body into pose

Used hot glue to attach to 20 cent washer

Applying Hot glue to entire form using nozzle to shape texture to get the slimy textures.

I then Primed with black automotive primer

Base coated with black ink & white glue mix I had.

Spray Gloss coat 1 & 2

I added floral wire for the feeder tendrils inside the mouth that I painted purple at bottom to red tips [pic did not capture this]

Spray Gloss coat 3 & 4

Dry-brushed orange. purple, yellow and green metallics for the oil slick iridescent sheen.

Spray Gloss coat 5

mixed white glue with sand and buried wyrm's tail to make Cthonian look like it was burrowing out of the base.

I see posts on message boards like how to make a gelatainous cube and such but any sites for cthuliod terrors like this would be news to me, there are sites on sculpting by epoxie. But for the unorthodox styles i favor, i havn't seen much of. Just be creative and keep plenty of hot glue sticks, wire and odd bits on hand or tentacle.
