Presenting ... Bob Moss

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!
