I finished up these fishy fellows this evening - a perfect painting task for Mischief Night! These are a Tiik Champion and three Tiik Warriors from the Reaper Bones range.
I chose a colour scheme for them that matched some art I'd seen online - I almost feel that it could have been the basis for the sculpt, or vice versa. The general theme was slimy, fishy, scaly - I created a wash for them using the Nurgle's Rot Citadel Technical paint and Strong Tone Wash so it would retain the slimy finish. I found an image of a salmon eye and tried to follow that on their inhuman eyes. Finally, I mixed up some Strong Tone wash, Nurgle's Rot and gloss varnish to make a muddy/marshy glaze for some of their bases and feet.
This is the piece of art that inspired their scheme - I love that what I assume is Innsmouth is in the background...
Comments most welcome - hoping to get some final zombies completed to round out Zomtober tomorrow!
