Nice minis; the tentacles always add an extra creepynes ala HPLovecraft, like the ethereals in ye olde videogame "Legacy of Kain, soul Reaver" IMHO the funny part on the udead pieces is the fact you can go wild being messy and gory. The only drewback (SW Geeks unite! =) I see is that gore is easy to overdo and the mini can end up being uninteresting. I've done a couple of cute zombies in the past and they were walking jokes.I'd love to do few more. I'm still looking for the undead flesh perfect recipe so I'm eager to see you project's skintone! Besides, I'd like to se at least some WIP pics as a reward for a so text-based post =9 About the geek thing, nowadays here in my country kids and teenagers are alot into manga and videogames but back at the days when I was 8 (80's Transformers comics anyone?) to wear glasses, play videogames and read comics-play magic magic or RPG was considered freaky not geeky so I grew up considering not being proud of certain having that sort of stigmata that makes me to buy a $100+ cold cast porcelain limited Batman statue or die. Seriously that always made me feel more like a crack whQre than a kewl guy =D Decent looking after death? being the “Spaniard” i am, I think that stuff can look nice even after death if I just have had the right amount of beer before looking at it…
