Treeman - Stage One WIP

A rather more developed stage one work-in-progress this time - I thought I'd hold this fellow back a while until I'd completed the first phase of (seems like two dozen!) coats, washes, glazes, highlights, etc. to get something approaching a satisfactory woodiness. This looks like simple model, but it's rather deceptive. There's actually a great amount of detail to play with here including bones, fungi, creepers, imps and general foliage. This is the old metal version - I picked it up a while ago on eBay. It's a great excuse to play with that boundary between realism (it's a tree) and magic (it's a MAN!) 

He Ent happy...
Plenty of shading still to do around the 'mouth'
Rather difficult to base this one - probably easier in the finecast
