When I saw this Classic Treant from the Nolzur's Marvelous Unpainted Miniatures line by WizKids, I couldn't resist buying it. It looks like it came straight out of the first edition Monster Manual.
Whether I end up using it for
Shadowdark, I figured the sculpt, with all that texture, would be easy to paint, and I was right.
I sprayed it with a dark brown basecoat (Rustoleum's Espresso paint+primer) and drybrushed the trunk in lighter shades of brown craft paint, then a golden yellow, then a light gray.
I did the leaves the same way, starting with a dark hunter's green, adding successively brighter shades, and finishing with a light drybrush of bright yellow.
The eyes were ivory, then an antique maroon for the colored part, then a dot of bright yellow for a highlight. I then added grass and plants to the base, and Bob's your treant!

Excellent work, and the name made me LOL!
"Bob Moss" is great, but had you painted the trunk green too he could have been Bob Broccoli.
Lovely work.
Bob Moss says, just a little more moss makes for a happy moss.
More like "Broccoli Rob" It looks great.
Nice!
