'A Fomori is a creature of the cold waters...'
The Fomori Shaman is one of those figures I have owned for an age, 20+ year it has moved from various store boxes and on and off my table but never got past an undercoat. It is a fantastic figure and one of my favourite sculpts but i could never find a paint scheme for it so it remained unused.
Recently I have had a surge in interest into Celtic Britain. I have started rereading Slaine Graphic novels and have started Bernard Cornwalls 'The Winter King'
On the crest of this inspiration I finally found the Formorian and spent a furious evening and early morning working on him.
For colours I wanted quite a soft earthy tones, his robes at odds with the rest of his appearance and drew on the palettes of Brian Froud, Stephen Reid and Alan Lee
Brian Froud
Alan Lee - Old Satyr
Stephen Reid - Finn Mccool Comes to Aid the Fianna
With the Shaman completed I have started work on some Half Dead...
