Back to World of Twilight

I had quite a lot of World of Twilight minis in the painting queue, it was time to put my hands on them. I've started with the Dompaku:

Also known as giraffephant
The leg joints (the two left legs) were too evident, so I've sculpted some ropes and pendants. If you don't look too close you won't notice :)
I took a different path than the other one I painted. I made this one in light colours and no pattern on the back. The only touch of vibrant colours is the crest:


Then, the riders:

Huey, Dewey and Louie, WIP stage
The final result looks like this:





A real beauty, the Dompaku is one of the finest sculpts in all the Twilight ranges. At least is one of my favourites. I'll be painting the rest at a slow pace, as I'm currently embarked in a few projects (of which you will have notice quite soon); but for the moment this is it. Hmmm... Does it qualify for Dinovember? :D

    Wow - I have neglected the Twilight range, but looking at your Dompaku, I see I have some catching up to do.


    You did just a gorgeous job on them, Suber. The bright colours really show off all the painstaking detail work.

      Thanks! The whole World of Twilight universe is enormously evocative, go have a look. I've painted more of these minis before (have a look at the label) and they all are enjoyable.

    I must confess to being very confused for a moment, thinking you'd suddenly taken an interest in sparkly vampires.

    Those look lovely. Like they've just crawled out of a Brian Froud illustration. Might I suggest, you try another few shots with slightly more diffuse light? There's obviously a lot of work gone into the model, but the lighting in the last two pics is quite harsh and it's washing it out a bit.

      Hahahaha! Talk to the marketing & branding dpt :D

      I'm afraid you are right about the pics. The naked truth is that I simply suck at taking pics, I have to learn quite a thing or two... :(

    I really like both of these. The concept of a beast with multiple riders is nice and alien (howdas on elephants notwithstanding), and the bight colors of the riders is really striking.

      Thanks, they are cool concepts indeed; almost anything you try on them will work :)

    You really nailed the skin tone on that lumbering beast Suber. The whole thing, completed, looks brilliant.

    Awesome stuff mate :)

    Thanks! I wanted to explore that kind of skin tone, as opposite to the previous one I had painted. The sculpt is inspiring, it’s been highly enjoyable :)
