Who's a cute little hellhound?

So, Wizards of the Coast has a line of pre-primed plastic minis, "Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures," and I've just finished my first one! The package calls this a "blink dog", but of course when I saw it I said, "Hellhound"! So, what should I call her? Juliet?













This was actually a fairly easy paint job. I started with a flat black base, and then outlined her muscles, spine, and bits of fur at her joints with an off white. After that, I swept over the whole thing with a watered-down purple ink. For the base I tried a textured paint that gave a pretty subtle effect, and added a few strands of spanish moss to imply bits of hay scattered at her feet, like the first hellhound that we saw in "Trial and Error."

Overall, I'm pleased with how she turned out. Even better, there was a second dog in the package, this one coming out of a sort of portal--and I think that one will have to be Ramsey!

Thank you! It has been a lot of fun, not to mention theraputic, dipping back into this hobby. And if I can combine it with my SPN obsession, that's a huge bonus!
