Here is Rex the Ogre- I painted him for the Gencon Painting competition this year, and he took third place in the large figure category. And I've only just gotten around to posting him. While the sculptor was not credited (to my knowledge) I suspect he's a Jason Hendrix sculpt. The anatomy just looks like Hendrix' style.

I've also posted him up on Coolmini for anyone who cares to vote.

That blue skin looks awesome, Odinsgrandson! Actually, it is all very well done. The fur loin cloth, the metal parts and the club all look great!

Thanks.

The skin was quite a process to get through. Altogether, it involved me poking at it with five or six different paint pots, and never a color that wasn't mixed with something else. Eventually, I think it came out right.

wow I love the paintjob

Very cartoony which perfectly suits SDE +10 for me :p

Gorgeous, and another nudge towards me buying Super Dungeon Explore.

My only criticism is that is very clearly a Troll, not an Ogre.

WOW!

Paint job is excellent... GLUE JOB IS AMAZING!! Those things are crazy hard to put together that well.

The skin (nose particularly) is astonishing, bravo... please more

Love the SDE minis, and you've definitely done this one justice, well done sir!

Whilst most of Soda Pop Miniatures's stuff is, to me, a bit tasteless, especially Tentacle Grape (I thought Tentacle Bento looked quite funny though) Super Dungeon Explore looks truly marvellous. I may have to get it.

And damn, that is a sweet model. Did you use an airbrush? The highlights and blending is incredibly smooth.

An extra-cuddly cave troll?

Okay. That is just awesome Thanks for sharing

Ah- I know what you mean. But then again, the expansion has Rockgut the Troll in it, so...

Thanks. There was actually a molding problem on the one that I got, so I had to do a little sculpting to make his left arm smooth. Other than that, he needed some standard gap filling with some green stuff.

I tried out a technique that I got from Marike Reimer. She said that smoothing out greenstuff to perfection is just too much work (the truth is, it takes a sculptor quite a while to learn how to do it to a professional level). But, you can fudge it a little by painting a layer of gloss over the top of your green stuff. It smooths it out, and helps the mini look seamless.
