Taking a break from piracy, I shortly went back to the original Talisman Project and did one more character, an all time favourite, the Ghoul:
A blog about the minis I paint. It started out loosely based on the Talisman board game, but the side projects have gotten out of hand..

The Master-At-Arms
Robert "Prince of Whales" Morfil had a career as a successful whaler until his crew sighted a pale whale of enormous proportions. The attempt to kill the beast ended badly, costing several crew members their lives and captain Morfil his right leg. Mutilated by the giant of the seas, Rob Morfil said "Sod this!" and retired to raise alligators with his brother and sister-in-law for the reptiles' hides and tasty tail meat.
The business was good, until one day, when Robert's brother, after sipping rum since breakfast as he was often prone do, fell into the alligator pen and was quickly devoured. After that, the farm didn't feel quite as homey, and when the pirate captain Red João's cook came by to stock up on alligator meat, Robert and his sister-in-law Elaine decided to sign up on João's crew.
Rob now holds the position of master-at-arms, charged with keeping the peace aboard the ship. He does this very effectively, throwing his considerable weight around as needed, as well as keeping his two pet alligators, Sebek and Nefernefer close by, which is usually quite enough for troublemakers to see the benefits of finding a peaceful solution to quarrels.
A giant of a pirate from Reaper by Gene van Horne. Very fun to paint because there was a lot of skin to put tattoos on. The reptiles are from Foundry's African animals range, so they are actually crocodiles, but don't tell them.
Tangentially inspired by: Moby-Dick
