Let’s check it out!

How to Paint Goblins Disguised as Clownfish

He starts with a night goblin archer and uses a bunch of green stuff to extend his robe to look like a clownfish onesie! He’s trying to match what a clownfish looks like and ends with a little divot for the mouth. Be sure to let this dry all the way.

After it’s dry, he comes back with some Vallejo plastic putty to fill in gaps and cracks.

Step 1:

He primes them white and does a spray mix of Incursion Orange and Lava Orange from the Army Painter.

Step 2:

Then, he does the easy stuff in the base coats with green for the skin and brown for the bows and such. Now, it’s time to paint some stripes. He starts with a light gray to block out the stripes. He then traces the white lines with a black micron pen and blocks in two eyes. He also does a dark green wash of the faces here as well.

Step 3:

To highlight the robes, he uses a red-brown flesh wash in the deepest folds. Then, switches to a bright orange-yellow to highlight the robes and gave them beady red eyes and point teeth!

Finished Models:

You may find yourself asking why at this point. Well, a goblin circus is coming to town, and he’s painting these up for an upcoming project with other creators. Sugar Candy Miniatures is painting up a whole army of clown-inspired goblins, and these will be part of it!
