Ghoul

 This is an older bust that I did after my first MMSI Chicago show in 2009. I was especially inspired by the wonderfully grotesque works of Rusty Nail ( http://therustyshack.blogspot.com/ .) As soon as I got back from the show, I pulled out this 120mm bust by JMD Miniatures and started painting.

 The entire bust stands about two inches tall... I was a little dissapointed that he was so small. Oh well.

 I painted this mini-bust using Tamiya acrylics through an airbrush. I started with a dark grey and worked my way up to a light peachy-grey color. I then used various mixtures of Tamiya's Clear Red, Clear Blue, and Smoke to create extra effects and shading.

I also used a very thick paint mixture sprayed at a very low PSI to create the splattering effects. All other details were picked out in Citadel paints. ( I had not yet discovered Vallejo paints!)
