Living Idol

and what doth lie 'neath the cursed pyramid? Within its slimy bowls the Cultists completed their quest, unearthing an ancient Horror...

Beware- viewing the following non Euclidean geometry may jeopardise your sanity.
I took d6+1 insanity points just by painting this...

This 'beautiful' resin piece is again by Fenris Games and I have coveted it for a long time, its just perfect for the 'Living Idol' quest.  I went for a 'just waking up' look, with parts of the idol dormant in statue form, other bits alive, and a sort of transitional feel to it.  I was dreading doing the eyes and spent quite awhile looking a pics of eyes, but I'm really happy with how they came out.
We need a bigger paddy wagon Guv'ner!



The base was a spur of the moment thing, carved out of an mdf coaster.
I left it detached so I can use it as a summoning circle or the like.

  2. That looks awesome, the just waking up appearance adds to its creepiness, Great Idea with the base as well,

  3. Hi Paul,

    Great piece of work old chap - really think the transitional look was a clever idea and the resultant 'thing' scared the bejaysus out of me!

    All the best,

  4. Its fantastic. Great idea with "half awake" look! As for the eyes, they seem fantastic to me. Maybe a bit goofy 3rd pic from bottom up, if you take unpainted eye as a nose, it looks like a teddy bear...of a kind :D

  6. Nice work! The transition effect really works, and you can plonk it down on the base in front of the players for the extra fright effect!

  12. Happy New Year Boss.

    The living idol looks great - will you make it a 'scene of horror' or as part of a scenario?

    1. You too mate!

      Primarily I got it for the "Living Idol" quest, but it would work a treat as a Scene of Horror, which is why I made the base to go with it.
