Zomtober 2015 (Week 2)

Just one mini for this week, yet a theme for me for Zomtober 2015 is already emerging - this year looks like it will be Zombie kids! After painting last week's primary Zombie entry I dug out a few more Zombie child minis and settled on that as my focus.

The mini was fairly simple to paint although lacking obvious major injuries leading to Zombification, so I tried to paint his face as though that had been the main point of attack. Overall a pretty simple paint-job, although the yellow was a little bit of a struggle.

Although I have only painted two minis so far for my regular-Zombies horde, this is my fifth completed mini of the month with the other related stuff I have finished, and I hope to finish the month with a tally of between seven and ten painted minis in total, maybe slightly more if motivation permits. My best total in recent years has been ten minis in 2013, so if I match that I would be very happy. So far this month I have completed Xiao Loong for BMG, and two Tooth & Sword Shambling Zombies. I have also made some nice progress on a mini called Papa Zombie for Pulp City, so Zomtober impetus has certainly carried over!

    Like I need to see more creepy zombie kids before going to bed. Nice work, PC. With the yellow t-shirt, I would have been tempted to paint him as Charlie Brown. Of course, you would have then needed a beagle in flying helmet and scarf "survivor", although I'm not sure what he'd be armed with...

      Thanks Carrion Crow. A Peanuts inspired combo could be truly creepy! :)

    A very sinister looking tyke. You aced the yellow shirt.

      Thanks Finch. I tried a new approach to yellow and will practice it some more on the next one. :)

    Love him. Yellow is always difficult but you did a fab job here. Well done.

      Thanks Bullcher. The yellow will get a little more practice before I possibly turn my eye to a BMG mini that relies on yellow in November. :)

    That's a cracking colour scheme PulpCitizen. For such a tiny mini you've really painted an eye-catcher. Great work :-)

    Nice work Pulp, I suppose with Halloween just around the corner, he could get away with tricking for treats

      Thanks Kieron. :)

      I think it is Studio Minis from the Tiny Terrors pack. :)

    I'm not the only one to be ever-so-slightly creeped out by zombie kids then.
    Great looking mini, and quite disurbing brushork.

    Great work in infusing so much creepiness into such a small miniature. It looks deceptively simple but I can appreciate the skill needed to pull this off. Nice one pulpcitizen.

    the small ones take less paint. I like this a lot.

    He may be diminutive in size, but with those bright colours you've painted so well he certainly will stand out on the tabletop.
    Nice work, once again
