Gervase the Ettin - Archon Studio

 

Hey everyone, so I received my pledge for the dungeon and lasers caves by Archon Studios and along it plenty of stretchgoals which obviously got my attention before the real pledges (I'm a kid at heart). So obviously, while clipping scenery off sprues is tedious, I allowed myself a quick build and that giant was clearly the best candidate !

Having had troubles with a resin printed model with resin leaks not long ago, my mojo had taken a hit so I need something quick and fast rewarding. Big models aren't always the best choice for that but some can and I felt this one could be very efficient with just enough details. I did,n't add the huge horned skull on the back of the model because I reckon the model is already busy enough as it is and I think it looks really cool so I'm saving it for some conversion later !

I had fun painting the skin in a pale tone with plenty of washes and glazes to give some nuances and highlight the shapes of the sculpt. I could have gone further on the fabric pieces but I wanted to keep things simple and only thought of doing a leopard like sort of fur too late in the process.
It's painted though and only took a few sessions to complete which was exactly what I needed.
I won't resist touching up the prepainted caverns to fix a couple of things and satisfy my need to control things.

If you want to get one of these, they're actually pretty cheap HERE.

Wishing you a happy painting !
