Basically at the same as working on the Abyssal Gargoyles, I grabbed this figure for my Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign. This is such a great sculpt - so dynamic - I love it! It is so much more awesome than the Reaper Demi-Lich model I painted the first time I ran this module about five years ago.
This is part of the 3D Dungeon Labs Etsy shop purchase.
Sculpt: Excellent - this is an awesome sculpt and really brings the depiction in the monster manual alive
3D Print: Excellent - well done - clean
Fitness: Excellent - has the proper base and scale, model matches expectations
Per the monster manual, the flameskull is supposed to be surrounded by green flame (audience says green flame out loud - if you get the joke great, if not go watch Acquisitions Inc. on Youtube). However, since I was playing with the reds, oranges, and yellow I decided to go that direction with this figure.
The interpretation of the monster is a white skull sitting on the ground and when the characters approach it turns burning hout and jumps into the air 10' off the ground in a burning trail of flame. I tried to give the look that the skull was white hot and the further from the flame the darker the color - so it was an opposite approach to the abyssal gargoyles. Additionally this went to a yellow and then pushed into the white on the skull without being true white and has longer transitions.
Not only is this a great looking miniature but because of what's really a simple linear path of the model it was therefore also really good training model for blending airbrushed colors. So looking forward to putting this one out on the table which is perhaps my favorite part of the entire Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign.
