I have finished my version of the Happy Monk in the last days.
This sculpt was a real joy to paint, as there are no weapons, for sure there are boobies like on most of the top selling models nowadays but if you think about those boobies here it is getting ugly fast :D
I did choose to leave the florals away and didn't use the butterfly. I wanted to make my Happy Monk celebrate the last peach before the winter comes. I hope you like him!
There is no fire like passion
No crime like hatred,
No sorrow like separation,
No sickness like hunger,
And no joy like the joy of freedom.
Buddha

If you are interested in getting your own Happy Monk sculpt write to:
Ben---at---massivevoodoo---dot---com
I am not sure on how many are left as Ben told me there were only 50 sculpts for sale. Check back with Ben and ask and believe me painting this sculpt is a journey on its own - a journey of peace and inner freedom.
My version here is not for Sale as it is already sold to a private collector who takes it as a Christmas gift for his girlfriend.
Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes

PS: Always remember:
Genial der Mönch! Finde ich noch besser als die Schmetterling-Variante! Das erzählt eine durchaus kulinarische Geschichte...
ReplyDeleteHappy monk (with Peach!) is great, very whimsical. It really made me smile. :) The private collector's girlfriend will be very happy, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteThis miniature is awesome! Really great paint work and a terrific sculpt as well. Could I ask where you got the leaves on the basing from? Keep up the good work
