Thats spot on you Crazy Viking. A lovely bit of terrain. Though to be honest, I thought you would make it more 'silly', perhaps a bit of "yellow snow" as locals mark their territory.  ;D

Hmmm... Well that's how it goes I guess.

BUT!

I had a nice trip to BLAM and it sparked my interest in the Post Apocalyptic freeziness again. Summer really killed it, but now that things outside my window are starting to look as bleak as the figures I intend to paint the inspiration is back.

Luckily, today, my wife drove off with my work case and, well, I was left alone with nothing to do after having installed a few new obligatory programme packages kindly supplied by the evercaring work-producer that is the University.

I hope you like it! I'm trying to 'dull' them a bit more than the ones I've done prior to these.

Also I think I may have figured out how I want to do my housing now.  :D

Next up are a couple of wolves, a cart, a sleigh and some frozen stiffs.

I expect SI to send and bill me for the winter troopers as soon as he releases them.  ;)

Bang on, Ya Crazy Dude!
Love the new 'autumn' colour palette.
Proper dirty and gritty!
 :-* :-*

Sending your wife off the work stuff was a seriously cunning plan, too.

Ah CV, welcome back to the foray. it's good to see that The Pappis box of frozen goodies lives.  lol

Agreed with mason, that is a very nice colour pallet. It makes a big difference. (I prefer it to Steve's - don't tell him) ;)

Cheers
Matt.

Really quite smashing... I went with an even more vivid palette than Steve, my thought was that these  were regular folks from a place like my hometown.  Most of our 'winter gear', or I should say the best stuff, was for skiing... hence brighter colors a la ski wear... 

That said, I really like your gritty realism and muter colors.  Brilliant!

Many apologies, O Crazy One.
I should have realised that someone with such refined tastes as yourself would never think such a thing.

Consider me chastised.

Yes it seems my followers suddenly all decided to join your page. Most of them are actually not from Denmark though.  :D


I added a link to a large version of the image in the post above so you can check the painting more thoroughly.
