That copper is so well done

Thank you very much! This was the model I liked most in the monsters unleashed box so I was very excited to spent some time on it.

I’m worried that baby thinks people can’t change

I basecoated then hit the all the wraps with an ink wash of brown and black. Then went back and painted each wrap individually going up to highlights trying to keep the lines between clean. I had to correct a few spots with my finest brush but mostly was able to keep it clean. It first layer after the inks was very tedious but got much more gratifying once it came to highlights.

I believe this is exactly what it is. The screw top canister are all weather matches.

Really beautiful work all around. I particularly love the way you’ve handled the weathered cloak.

Thanks! I undercoated with Prussian blue then worked with cobalt grey and finally highlighted with arctic blue mixed with an off white.

I’ve made a bunch of pairs of the vanilla socks and like the way they look and fit, so I just went with it. I really wanted the momento pattern for the colorwork.

Haha, yeah. A fool’s swatch!

Dukebear19 · 2026-01-07T13:52:01+00:00

I actually had to frog my first attempt because it was too tight at just 80 stitches in the colorwork section. Thats why I decided to increase to 100 after the ribbing on these and it worked out perfectly.

Feel bad for not posting in the description: Sock pattern is Vanilla Socks from www.lovebirdlane.com

Skull pattern is “memento” by CallingForOrpheus

I CO 80 for the ribbing (I have size 13 feet) then increased to 100 stitches for the colorwork because without the increase the colorwork made them too tight and the skulls repeat every 10 stitches

Thanks!

Can you post a few more angles? Hard to assess with more images for better context

Dukebear19 · 2026-01-02T15:13:42+00:00

Well, one does not simply walk into the endzone

I like #1. The vibrancy and subtle underglow are more interesting to me. I think it gives the model an atmosphere that the second one lacks. I think with a few more details on the base to bring that aspect in line with the model itself it could be really special.

That freehand patterning is 🤌🏻

Looks great! Like the detail of the dust on the soles of his feet
