Community Print 3D Print of Death Plague Print & Paint Competition

For this competition, I printed the ghoul and base individually. For the base, I used a sculpt in the thingiverse link below that I liked (credit to the designer, I think it looks great). Then I painted each piece individually, glued together, and added some light highlights and shadows. I wanted this piece to feel like there was a light source coming in from in front of the ghoul, as if some unlucky wanderers had shined a flashlight on the creature in its den. So I highlighted the face, shoulders and arms, while adding some grayish blue to keep its backside in shadow. I decided to use some flesh tones as opposed to the red skin tone provided in the visual with the stl file. I thought it'd be creepier if it looked like a person had turned into the ghoul. This is my first competition and is also one of the first minis I've ever painted. I've been super into 3d printing for a year now. I have two Ender 3 pro fdm printer. However, I just added a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4k to my arsenal, which is what I used here for this project. I'm a dm with a group of friends, in which I've printed and painted an owlbear and two umber hulks, so this ghoul is my 4th ever print and paint and I'm really happy with the results. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4910898
