Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion Blood Monstrosity

thingiverse

Hey everyone, here's my take on the Blood Monstrosity monster from Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. I decided to put my own twist on this guy, as they're described as having "unnatural bulges of muscle" and I was afraid that the swollen & corrupted version that we see in the official artwork just wouldn't come across at miniature scale. So, I went a little more traditional "strongman" with a bit of hulk-like bursting from his clothes thrown in for good measure! To try and capture some of that "supernatural corruption" that's in the official artwork, I added those bulging vein-like growths to show that there's something other than human growing in there (as you can see from my colored render, I'm planning on painting them to make them really stand out from his skin). I got one successful print of this guy without supports, but that left leg is at about the most extreme angle that my printer can handle and I've had a few failures where it bows up and gets knocked loose. For that reason, if you're printing this on an FDM printer, I'd recommend putting a little bit of support under his left shin (see the included screenshot), just to help keep everything in place during the print. Other than that, the rest of the model should print just fine without supports! As always, the .blend file for this model is available to my patrons at https://patreon.com/VirtuallyJason.
