I was able to examine the archives for pics of your humble servant as a child with toys, and I found a few of me with bears. Also bare. Which was the perfect excuse to paint this bear from Great Escape Games, and this child from Gripping Beast.

Decades later, I traumatised myself by watching Game of Thrones S7E6 'Beyond the Wall' (2017), and also that scene from Annihilation (2018). I tried some UHU on the mouth and then Army Painter Glistening Blood.
Two figures, shall we say 10 points?
+50 for Childhood trauma/ Toy Story theme
As scary as the bear is, my first thought as parent was “Good God! Where is his diaper?!” Wonder painting on the zombie bear and hopefully fast child.
ReplyDeleteJust enjoying the fresh breeze...
DeleteWell there's weird :D
ReplyDeleteLovely work Barks
Thanks, Paul!
DeleteTerrific figures, Barks! But isn't Australia bereft of bears? You should have done up a zombie kuala, but perhaps that wouldn't give the same sense of terror. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've clearly not yet heard of Drop Bears...
DeleteDrop Bears, Curt. Our greatest terror. We don't joke about them.
DeleteMy god, that was a rabbit hole! So funny. Someone needs to make some Drop Bear figures... Perhaps a 'Devilry Afoot' addition. :)
DeleteThe zombie bear is pretty grotesque, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stuart!
DeleteStunning and accurate painting on the bear Barks
ReplyDeleteMostly Speedpaints.
DeleteWell done Barks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter!
DeleteNice zombie bear and lunch!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
He's going to make it!
DeleteThat is one nasty looking critter Barks, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI originally thought I'd do it polar bear style, but went for the easier scheme.
DeleteNice (?) zombie bear!
ReplyDeleteI love the 1/1 model better! Very cute! 😉
Can't get those smooth skin tones any more...
Delete😂
DeleteNicely done very convincing living flesh yuck! Nice to see you were next to the decorating materials - early painter!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long childhood for me!
DeleteBeautifully gruesomely painted Barks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard!
DeleteA very gristly gruesome bear Barks. Great work.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Bruce.
