Some time ago I painted two headed hound from Mierce Miniatures. Now It’s time for three headed hydra – Khallas, Hydrakh of Ydron – also from Mierce Miniatures. This is really fine detailed miniature sculpted by talented Roberto Chaudon. It is based on 80mm round base, so the monster is neither too small nor to large.
Applying green base paint and basic highlighting with airbrush really helped to speed up the painting process. Even if most of the paintjob was done with a brush – enhancing shadows and highlights as well as painting details. For the base I used Vallejo Still Water as I cannot imagine hydra without water 🙂
I did not see this mini painted anywhere, but I guess this is good. This way I could use my imagination and creativity to paint her just as I imagined without copying other painter’s idea. Her – because this creature definitely looks like a female to me 🙂 Maybe because of long neck and specific head(s) position…. I just got that impression. And what do you think?
Blood-Maw
Recently I did not paint anything from Mierce Miniatures but this is about to change. Here comes Blood-Maw, Vore – a giant carnivore beast. With it’s powerful jaws it can devour any warrior in whole! Just look at it’s size – it is mounted on 100mm base.

Can a single, even the most courageous warrior stand against such beast?
Hmm, now the chances are equal as Blood-Maw meets Druc, Meat Hulk:
Equal because none of these can see his opponent 🙂
Beowa
Almost two years after I painted his bear form, I finished Beowa in human form.

Treeman
When I was posting pictures of RBG bear and wolfes I wrote that maybe it’s time to make some trees. So here is one! A walking tree 🙂 It’s Araigh, Ancient of Sileann Fen from Mierce Miniatures. You would not want to find yourself in range of his gnarly arms!
The treeman was airbrushed with shades of brown, then washed and drybrushed. Afer that I painted the details – eyes, climber (veins?) in green and so on. Foliage is made of pieces of brown-green sponge, painted after attaching to the miniature.
Creoda, a really big wolf!
I finished Creoda, Guthwulf – figure from Mierce Miniatures. This mini was wonderfully sculpted by Allan Carrasco based on this concept art from talented Stefan Kopinski:
The figure had fur texture, but apart from his neck and tail it was too subtle to use drybrush. I preshaded it with airbrush and then I randomly applied thin lines of lighter color, more or less corresponding with direction of sculpted hair. I wasn’t too precise, as I didn’t want to spend years painting every single hair. The finished effect is just fine for gaming miniature.
Here is how it looks with other finished miniatures from Anglecynn fraction in world of Darklands:
