I'm still alive, just been quite busy with work lately. But as the year draws to a close I found some time during the last couple days to paint this guy.
I can't be the only one who is reminded of Abobo from the Double Dragon Nintendo games?
As with many who paint this ugly brute I took inspiration from the cover of the 1st edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, as he does bare a striking resemblance.
I based him in a neutral way which will allow him to be appropriate in a variety of settings, from the astro-granite of the Blood Bowl pitch, to dank mossy stone dungeons, or chaos wastes. Another A+ Jes Goodwin sculpt, I'm looking forward to painting more of this range.
Well gee, you've gone & put my painting attempt of him to shame :(
ReplyDeleteNice work, like his black eye & the double dragon similarity was not lost on me....shoved many a coin into that arcade as a youth.
Cheers.
I think we all know the true shame here is the delight I take in meticulously detailing the repulsive pubic hair of an ugly little lead man.
DeleteYep that was a great game, they certainly don't make them like they used to! Thanks for the comment.
Great work! One of the greatest sculpts of all time!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ed, I agree!
