#ReaperMini Dark Watcher aka Cacodemon

In DOOM, there's a floating eyeball monster that absolutely has to be inspired by D&D's Beholder. They call it the Cacodemon. It looks like this.

  

Now, Raper Minis makes the Dark Watcher, which looks like this.

 

 Having this mini in my collection I knew what I had to do, even though I can count the number of times I played DOOM on one h

and. 

 

 As usual, I gave the mini a good wash in warm soapy water, and then got to painting. Red liner first, and then I realized I forgot the tongue. That got blue liner after I glued it in. Then I went to work with the paints. I gave it a base of Asmodeus Red then mixed in the Bone for the pink shade. The eye is viper green with some green liner, and sample orange for shadow and highlight.

 

I used Andorian Blue for the mouth, mixed with pure white for the highlights. The Red body was highlighted with Seoni Scarlet. The bone horns were given a glaze with sepia wash. The rock formation was done with a muddy mix of brown and grey. 

And here it is all done!

 

I think there won't be any confusion as to what inspired this paint job!
