Rocky Mountain Rampage Rocks!!!

Well friends, I was given the fortunate opportunity by Bryan Tew to paint up this fantastic sculpt of a yhetee by Jason Warren of Glove Ink Studio, for the Rocky Mountain Rampage Blood Bowl Tournament this weekend, hosted at Blackfyre Games in Orem, Utah!  Bryan, the tournament organizer, asked if I could do something in "yellow"!!! (I know right???) But I decided it would be a particular difficult challenge as yellow pigments and tinctures in paint are very translucent and tough to do... and do well!  (The lighting washes out the yellow a bit, but trust... it is there!) Then, add to the fact, that I wanted to produce a 'rougher', matted down fur effect, on some smoother parts of the mini, which requires a different brush technique, and I decided to tackle the challenge!  Hope you enjoy the result!

Really love this dynamic pose!

The direction of the fur, really adds to the 'momentum' of the character!

This big guy is alllll pewter... trying to balance him on that small base was a challenge!

Really enjoyed painting those big toes! Good Fun!!!

Great detail on the hands, feet, and anatomical positioning of everything!

Here he is, charging down the field to clobber some poor, unwitting opponent!
THANK YOU for taking the time to peek!

For those you of you that have time, and inclination, don't miss out on this great event...
