This rather unusual mini was painted for Cool Mini last year. I loved the chance to use all sorts of blueish green hues, graying some down, keeping others more saturated. The base was sculpted from Apoxy sculpt.
I painted this for CMON in 2010. The eagle is sculpted very well, and it is made of resin. I would be very tempted to use it for Lord of the Rings myself!
The base is 50mm, so that gives you an idea of size. It is very comparable to the Great owl I posted a few days ago...
I tried out a new technique on this figure a few years ago. It was all about getting wild color transitions, and even trying to make his armor seem bit transparent. I do that all the time these days, but at the time, it was something quite new!
