The Mad Devil
Not the first efforts, that was the troll, but very early efforts. You can see that over the years, I have lost my cardboard bases and in one case replaced it. I managed to find a Polly S paint called gnoll flesh. I used it on...gnolls. It looks like i also picked up a grey, a black, and maybe another brown to add to my palette. But mud base, because, well, swamps.
First edition D&D gnolls were not as dog-like as later iterations, having more in common with ghouls or being a ghoul-troll hybrid. This explains, in part, Yeenoghu's affinity for ghouls.
But you can see the heavy paint style, the heavy glossy varnish.

As with all of these, I make no claim to the copyright of the orignal sculpt, just the paint job unless otherwise noted.
As noted elsewhere, I eventually got duplicates and repainted later in life. Gone is the satin varnish; the paint lines are crisper and I actually use these from time to time.
Note also, these gnolls are so much shorter than later iterations of gnolls.
