Werewolf!
« on: August 31, 2008, 05:19:59 PM »
There Wolf!




Heresy's lovely werewolf sculpt, an absolute joy to paint. Quite pleased with how he turned out, too.

Base is still to finish, but I'm not sure what to do with that yet apart from the usual static grass. I feel like this one deserves a bit more.

Nice job but that pose still kills me! Looks like he's either pitching for the local team or else he's boogying at the disco!  lol

Nice painting, not that keen on the model though, to spindly for a werewolf.

Very nice.I like the 'lope' to the figure.Good colour scheme too.Heresy sculpts are mostly separate componants...where all limbs separate and posable with blu-tac before pinning? :D

Thanks everyone,  :)

Marrony, the arms, head and one leg are seperate, but go together really smoothly. I didn't have to pin anything, just putty over the joins.

Nice job, I do agree with the comments regarding the pose though.

I have one of these as a blood bowl werewolf. I like the painting. Very crisp.

As you have shown me yours, shall I show you mine?  :?

I had to make a comment:

I'm putting that model together, too - and I think Stone made a promise, here....  ;)

Great painting...

Not so much love fer the mini.  I do agree.  He looks like he is bowling on a cricket pitch.  And it kinda looks like a tall monkey.  But that's just my two pence...  But normally I love Heresy's stuff.  This one missed the mark...

My, what big hands you have, Grandma...! lol

I don't mind the pose so much, it is nice and active (imagine that guy chasing you over the moors...!), but the hands/paws are a bit oversized for my taste, though.

Well, it's the model I've seen, that reminds me most of the weres from Dog Soldiers. Fast, tall, lean, mean killing machines. You can tone down the hands by painting them in a more neutral way, btw. (I intend to; black, dark grey skin, I think).

I like this, JollyBob.

I feel like it's missing something... perhaps a splash of blood & gore around the claws and jaws?
