I really enjoyed paining the balrog, so much so I have 3, however I found it eye straining mostly as you have to focus for so long, and i remember getting some pretty bad hand cramps and an rsi in my thumb.
I advise using a wet pallet for this job

@ElfLover Thank You

@Grungehog 3 of them omg I think I would go crazy haha! Definitely alot of focusing is required to paint him.

gollum looks nice! you painted his eyes really well! will you add something to the base though? it still looks very blank..

Thanks Yeah first time not using black for the eyes

. And yeah I need to add some more shades to the rock and maybe water on the base? not 100% sure yet but would love to hear your ideas.

Well, I have that gollum to be painted too and for the base I had the idea make the backside a "normal" base with sand and on the front I wanted to add "water", maybe with the help of glue.

That is a fabulous looking balrog wing! Very eye-catching.
Or should that be Eye-catching? :sauron:

I can't wait to see the Balrog finished. Gollum is such a messy eater!

Actually I've never seen a fish bleeding that much before. Don't want to know what Gollum did there..

@kidterminal I am going to try finish him in the next couple of days hopefully!

Haha Gollum could have cut his mouth on the bones of the fish.
