Yes, they loook like Gummi Lollies (or candy, if you prefer).
If you can believe it, they looked even more like gummies before I added paint, some foam and gloss varnish to them. There’s not much else to say, really – as models they’re not a patch on the Pathfinder Water Elementals from Wizkids, but they’re amazingly still better than the Water Elemental from the Temple of Elemental Evil board game, which I’ll have up here before too long.
I don’t have a lot more to say about these rather clownish models. Quick and easy painting wins for Contrast Paint once again. They’ll be fine as boardgame fodder, I’m sure. I should have the four elementals from the TOEE game finished and posted up in the next little while, though!
I think they look great! 🙂 Really like ’em!

Very cartoonish miniatures they look like “Baddies” from Scooby Doo.
Painting has really enhanced them though.
Cheers Roger.

They do look pretty deadly, but at the same time refreshing like a lolly 🤔

Weird thing is I don’t even eat lollies or sweets anymore (just the occasional bit of dark chocolate), but looking at them does make me want to eat a bunch of gummis!

Looking at them makes me want a lolly AND some gummis.

Nice job banging these out. The sculpt is rough but I think you painted about as well anyone could reasonably hope to. Your progress on D&D minis lately has really been something. Its great to see you finishing so many of them so quickly 🙂

A lot of them manage to hit the “sweet spot” of being low detail but also quick to paint, so I’ve been able to knock out a lot of them. I also spent all of last week in home quarantine while Marouda and I waited for the results of our COVID tests (both negative, BTW), so while I did have to do a bit of work from home, there was a lot more free time to work on this stuff….

This is very belated but relieved to hear you’re doing okay health-wise. I couldn’t agree more about working from home and painting productivity. I can usually squeeze in two hours of painting now where an hour was all I had most nights when I was commuting to and from the office. You’re doing a great job reducing that backlog and making the most of the opportunity!

They look a bit incongruous with the stuff you have previously posted from the range- more cartoony. Am sure you have brought the best out of them though.
Cheers,
Pete.

Yeah, I guess Hasbro/WotC had pumped out so many figures over so many years and so when it came to selecting monsters and villains for their boardgames, it was something like “ok… we need to find sculpts for stuff on this list!” – or – “here’s the list of available minis to use as monsters.” – either way without a lot of regard for …sculpt quality or consistency.

Ah! These are so cool! I really like them! 😀 I can totally see what you mean about the gummy/lollipop look. They remind me of the sheets of candy glass my dad makes sometimes. 🙂

Thank you, IM! They certainly don’t look much like threatening and dangerous Water Elementals, though – do they? 😀

Haha they may not be threatening or dangerous looking, but maybe that’s just how they sucker people into getting closer before they drown them! 😛

I think that they look quite cute. Are these meant to be roughly human-sized? If so, just call them sweetie-mentals (or candy-mentals or whatever) and embrace their inherent deliciousness.

Yeah, they’re just a bit shorter than human-sized models. Or the same size as slightly-larger-than-usual-but-still-feasable gummi lollies.
