6/29/15: Showcase: Lizardman and Elves Blood Bowl Commission

Howdy folks!

This time around we have a duo of Blood Bowl teams done, dusted, and ready for the pitch! Really enjoyed this commission, especially the Lizardmen as I own the models myself and really want to get mine painted now! Let's walk through the teams.

First is the Lizardmen. The models come from Impact Miniatures, and are gorgeous little models, especially the Skinks! Consisting off 8 skinks, 6 saurus, and are Kroxigor, this is are team to be reckoned with! The client wanted the team themed around Texas A&M, which is a great compliment to the green of the alligators.  I've only had a chance to play with them on the computer, but Lizardmen are a brutal team to play. The skinks rival the Elves in terms of speed and agility, while the saurus and Kroxigor give them the hitting ability of orcs! Look out for them!

The Pro Elves come from Willy Miniatures I believe, and the team consists of 8 blockers, 2 catchers, 2 throwers, and 2 Wardancers. This team was themed around Keanu Reeve's movie the Replacements, and the colors flow really nicely. Elves were always the bane of my Orcland Raiders due to their speed, and this team should be no exception!

Whew! Loved working on this commission, but it's time to get back to the Grimdark future of the 41st Millennium! Next up is a detachment of Salamanders Drop Pods, followed by the sons of Ferrus Mannus!

4/2/13: Senior Art Portfolio; Painting: Alpha Legion Warp Talons, Lizards, and Dragons!

Hey guys!

So again, its been a week since I posted anything, but after the IG commission, I needed a little break to work on some schoolwork and my own pieces. I had my senior art portfolio due on Thursday which, as I’m sure most of you can guess, consisted of many of my best commission pieces, as well as some good school pieces.  The highlight though was that we had to submit pieces to our senior art show, which will be in a couple of weeks. I’m proud to announce that all three entries made it into the show! I submitted:





and



I’ve been fighting since my sophomore year to get this recognized as an actual art, so I’m extremely happy to have these displayed!

I sat down and started to roll through my Murder Lord and his Warp Talon bodyguard. The lord needs a little work, but for now, he’s finished:



I may do some more freehand on him, but we’ll see. Also finished is the Warp Talon Champion and one of the regular Talons.





I also got a Familiar done for my Sorcerer; though he’d work as a Combat Familiar as well.



This picture is actually him almost finished; I ended up doing some glow effects on the sword and wrote ‘LEGION’ down the grip of the sword. I’ll try and get some more pictures of him.

I also sat down around some other projects and put together a test Lizardman model for my upcoming army.



I think I missed a bracelet, but its fine, I can always go back and touch him up. Really happy with how he turned out, I started working on the Salamander I had lying around too, I should have pictures of that soon.
Lastly, its not the greatest shot, but I finished the High Elf Dragon for my local client. All three riders are magnetized, and I’m pretty happy with the overall effect of him.



Alrighty! Currently on the workbench is some school art, some Space Wolves, and more Alpha Legion! Back to work!
