Great Old One - Miniature Now Available! (FINALLY)

This is a long time in coming. Way back in 2010/2011 I created a painting of my take on a Great Old One... for a personal project that is recently getting some traction. That said, I was approached in 2013 to license the image for an upcoming RAFM Kickstarter. That Kickstarter came and went with it being funded and many stretch goals were also funded. One of the funded stretch goals was to have a miniature of my painting created! While there were teaser images and miniatures available for the Kickstarter backers the miniature based on my painting has yet to be available to the general population... until NOW!

Those interested in the Great Old One miniature can now head over the RAFM Website and get one for themselves. Mine showed up this week and I did not know what to expect. It sure is neat and I will need to put it together at some point and paint it up. There is something about it still all in it pieces that I find interesting too... the potential of being a monster. It is interesting to see where they strayed from my painting and where they stayed completely true. Here is a look at the miniature as it arrives...

If you are interested in getting one of these for your very own just head over to the RAFM Website. I have had to wait 8 years to get my hands on one of these, you will only have to wait a week or less! Here again is the original painting that was the inspiration for the miniature. I have always really like this piece and I look forward to it eventually being put into context with what I am working on.
