I udes this Pegaso's figure by Andrea Jula:

Fantastic, Rusto!

I also have a spare Tarascus Head lying around somewhere.
Wish I have had such a idea. ;)
Great work!

Hi, at the beginning, sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand what I mean! ;)

I like this miniature,
but I think, the "hat" (dt.: Mütze/Kapuze) is to big, looks like a nightgoblin from GW.
And the mini is painted in cold colours, the face is in my eyes not the first focus.
The focus, i think, is here on the monsters head and mouth, especially the tongue (dt.: Zunge ,hoffe, das ist das richtige englische Wort).

But...this is only my opinion, are only small things! ;)
I love the monter-head! :)

Hope, you understood this.

Hey rusto,

another great mini made by your godlike fingers ;)

Most of the attention lies on the tongue, thats right. But what else shall pull your eyes on it when not this great, slimy thing?!

I like it.

Kapuze heisst "hood" auf Englisch. ;)

but I think, the "hat" (dt.: Mütze/Kapuze) is to big, looks like a nightgoblin from GW.

That's also what I thought when I looked at the mini. It looks like these kids in the tram which wear they cap loose on their hair because it could ruin their haidcut. ;)

Everything else is really great and I like the epic scene and the paintjob is awsome.
Thanks for sharing this nice piece with us. :)

Have to agree with the look of the hood. Looks kind of funny, like a "duncecap". It just won't fit to this uber-cool character. ;)
But nevertheless an astounding piece of work. I really love the coc and the slime-effect on the tongue of the slain beast. Great work! :cool:

[BADSMILE]

I agree, the beast is baboooooom nice but the uberhoody does not fit the character.

[Count_Zero]

yeah thats a really cool "conversion" haha youve sculpted 75 % by your own - impressive, is there something you cant? ^^.

But i have to agree the first thing i thought and thats often the right obe : the hoody looks very weird.

The monsterparts are by the way my favs in this diorama.

[Trovarion]

what...the hood looks awesome...adds much character!
