I finally finished painting this creepy monster. What do you think?

This mollusc monster is a lot bigger than what I usually paint, and it took me forever to finish it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Would love to hear what you think.

Wow, that's amazing! Is it a mini from a game?
- It is, yes! From Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood. When we got it and it came with such epic minis (and you reveal a new one every game), we decided we wouldn't play with grey plastic anymore. So now in between each of the games we have to paint a new monster!
  
  First time hearing about this game and it seems really cool. Too bad it doesn't seem so be on sale anywhere.
This is absolutely perfect and very detailed. I love it!!!
This captures exactly my inner feeling regarding the fact that no fedi servers implement the C2S api .. (I just realised)
But really, this is very well done, thanks for sharing
- What does the C2S API do?
  
  It's the ActivityPub API (client to server) where clients supposed to interface with so that you could have one client, for all fedi. But turns out server implementations (Lemmy, mastodon etc) find it not so well designed or performant or adequate (or idk what else) so instead they implement their own client APIs, effectively making clients being specific to the server rather than interoperable (one client that could understand all servers). It's reasonable though, it's just .. I thought... that this was already done and established.. but well..
Looks really good
Reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic, especially with the lack of eyes.
Looks super dope! We need more painted minis in this community. Love how grim your colour scheme looks. Im also waiting for my paint to dry rn on my cirrent project, to paint the next layer.
- I agree! I'll make sure to post more as I finish them ;)
  What are you working on? Do share!
  
  Working on a ninja turtle bust i found free on myminifactory. :) i still have some problems with uploading pictures to beehaw. But as soon as it works ill post more
You did awesome with this mini 😄
You mentioned size, what's the scale on that? Hard to tell exactly from the photos. I'd guess 80mm base?
- Thank you! 😊
  Yeah I should have said, it's on a 100mm base, about 12cm tall I believe. Quite a difference from painting 28/32mm figures!
  
  Ah! Just missed with my guess! Haha
  Yeah the large minis are great for getting the detail you want but some of them can be such an undertaking! I have some mega minis I've been delaying for that reason 😭
  I hope you post more!
