Abobo







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.

  1. Well gee, you've gone & put my painting attempt of him to shame :(

    Nice 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.

    1. 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.

      Yep that was a great game, they certainly don't make them like they used to! Thanks for the comment.
