So, here's my newest character, Brakka Braytooth. He's a mean Son of a Sow. I painted him really quickly, I just really enjoyed this model. Such a great character. The axe was a bit hair raising to paint around as I was worried about snapping it off.
The banner had a few false starts. I decided to paint it in a similar vein to my Wargor BSB, just to help tie them together. This banner was inspired by the artwork in the beastmen army book, with the shamen infront of the towering herdstone. Liber Chaotica tells us minotaurs are sacred protectors of herdstones, so I thought that a standard of a long distant herdstone would be a standard worth fighting over.
I painted his axe in a similar fashion to my Doombull's to again tie them together.
Nice stuff there. He's a great looking model and I really like the whole albino look he has going on. Suits him quite well. I really like the banner, great work. It did take me a moment to realise what I was looking at (being a tad dense) but now that I see the painting on there, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteCheers, I guess in your minds eye when your painting it you know what it is, and it doesnt jump out straight away. Free hand isnt my strong point!
ReplyDeleteOh no, it wasn't that it was just me being dense. Once I started paying actual attention I saw it. It looked great! Mine neither, but I keep trying! Your freehand is looking good.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that banelord for the first time I was trying to think of an excuse to buy it, but just couldn't tie it in with my 'project'. It fits in really well with the army, awesome work so far.
ReplyDeleteNow, who makes that model? (I think I would have kept the nuts, I actually modelled nuts on a Giant Stag).
