Revisiting the Lloigor

In 2009, I was hired to design a series of miniatures for Fantasy Flight Games. They were gearing up to make plastic minis of all of their Arkham Horror/Call of Cthulhu monsters, and I was at the right place at the right time to get the bulk of them. It was a fun project with a lot of freedom for a grotesquely small amount of pay. And then nothing. It wouldn't be until 2011/12 for the monsters to finally be released as unpainted figures in board game sets and as fully painted premium minis. By and large, they all turned out great, and I still look back at them favorably. As it has been 17 years since I made the art and 15 years since they were eventually released, I thought it would be nice to revisit some of them. Next up in alphabetical order, we have the Lloigor. Here is my design and the final miniature.

And, as an added bonus, something I have never shared before, here are the thumbnails that I created for this piece. Over the past 17 years, I had forgotten how loose and sketchy these were.

Arkham Horror Monsters - Wave 3

Wave 3 of the Arkham Horror Monsters - Premium Figures are now available over on the Fantasy Flight Website. I mention this fact because I designed three of the miniatures in this new set! The monster in the set I was responsible for are the Lloigor, Servitor of the Outer Gods, and Star Vampire. Here are the miniature turnarounds...

I took some pictures of the miniatures so you can compare how the finals turned out compared to my designs. This is a really solid batch of minis and they are extremely true to my designs, I could not be happier! I think the Lloigor is my favorite of this set. Always happy when the transition from paper to plastic produces a great looking miniature. See for yourself...

This now makes 12 Arkham Horror monsters released! I have six more out there in the ether somewhere just waiting to take shape and cause madness. As you might recall, I designed these back in 2009, and I have been patiently waiting ever since. Looks like the good folks at FFG are releasing a new wave every couple months, so maybe I will not have to wait too much longer to enjoy the fruits of my labor!

Here is a group shot of the three miniatures... three monsters, just chillin' in the garden... looking to cause death and madness... RAWR!
