This time the scene was minimal, with a single miniature and a terrain. Only with these I tried to tell a story.

I made again a post-apocalyptic environment, perfect to put one of those space marines.

I've wanted to represent a space marine on a larger scale, using parts of an exterminator. You know that parts of the exterminators are wider and larger than a space marine, perfect to do a Space Marine in a superior size.

1st STEP



After an intense painting session, I show you the terrain finished... or nearly so.

In my post-apocalyptic style I decided to use gray colors and earthy tones. In a future world where nuclear war and environmental degradation are basic, large areas of desert are covered with ashes and small human outposts. This is why I have turned to try to capture this idea.

Details varied, such as cans, newspapers ... provide more realism to the scene. Do not rule out adding a little something more.

2nd STEP



Finally, I show you the miniature, which needs more work on light and shadows. The pose of the mini is the definitive, although the settlement of the miniature on the terrain is provisional.

But the idea is that you can see ... a space marine that is searching beyond the blood and the stairs.
I really like the idea of ​​this scene, with an unbalance between the left side, with the figure, and the empty right side, where the blood is like other character.

It was an experiment, which like it or not to you, but I love plan and perform it.

3rd STEP



Well, the scene is complete!

As you can see, the terrain was almost finished, like the miniature, which needed only to paint the armour with some scratches and rust effects.

Anyway, I hope you like this idea, because in it a single mini and a puddle of blood trying to tell a story.

Cheers,

Jose.

Love what you did to the Matrine.  Very gritty and real.  :-*
