My Rat Ogre conversion

[Desdichado]

This rat ogre, which I originally made for my skaven Blood Bowl team, but which I've since used as a rat demon in my d20 game, is made from parts of three commercial metal rat ogres--two of the current (metal) range and the head of the older Boneripper miniature. It also has a few Kneadatite details I sculpted in, but mostly just to make all the parts fit together.

My painting skills are adequate for my needs, but not remarkable. This one is one that I think turned out pretty well, though, for me.

Nice conversion JD - well done mini!

Thanks; coming from you of all people, that's quite a compliment. Your own skill makes me look like a 10-year old kid playing around with Dad's toys.

Anyway, sorry about the crappy lighting on the pictures, too. I might try to retake these later. Maybe I can get my kitchen drapes out of the background while I'm at it.

Looks good to me.

If you are working with the greenstuff, they you are farther along than you think. Post more figs.

If you don't like the way the photo came out, Take the fig outside when the sun is out, rest the fig and the camera on your car hood, then take the picture.

You're selling yourself short. I think it came out great. Good job.

Well, I did say that was one of my better minis! Anyway, yeah, bright sunlight tends to make really bad pictures, in my experience. There's too much contrast between the lit and shadowed areas of the mini. Outside on an overcast day is the best ambient lighting for photography.

Nice work Joshua.
We'd love to see more of your work.
I like the flesh tone shading. Very nice work.

Thanks,
H

Cool, thanks! I'm actually currently working on a fairly ambitious conversion; I'll be sure and post it here, assuming it comes out.
