Gyhrdrak the "Bonebreaker" Druchiisbane

Not much is known about Gyhrdrak Druchiisbane, also known in the Blood Bowl community as the “Bonebreaker.” It is reported that he hails from the more rural communal mountains of Chrace, in the Elven kingdom of Ulthwae. After relocating to the capital city of Tor Achare as a young man, he was selected for service among the Pheonix bodyguard known as the White Lions, where he distinguished himself.

Gyhrdrak plays as a star blitzer on the Tor Achare Lions Blood Bowl team, one of two professional teams hosted by the capital city. It is reported that Gyhrdrak is the strongest High Elf in all of Ulthuan. His propensity to cause numerous casualties each game is what has earned him the moniker “Bonebreaker.” His strength and Stature have become legendary not only throughout the six kingdoms of the High Elf realms, but ubiquitously among opposing teams on the grid-iron.

Never compromising his performance on the pitch, as soon as an opposing player is red-boxed, Gyhrdrak is quick to lend a helping hand winning him many friends among other teams, star players and heroes of other mortal races. 

Ironically, Korhil Lionmane, who is the current high commander of the Chrace White Lions bodyguard, displays very similar characteristics to Gyhrdrak.  Whenever the “Bonebreaker” is performing on the grid-iron, Commander Korhil always seems to be conspicuously absent from his duties. However, due to his popularity, nobody (not even reporters) seem to care to comment. 

Regardless, look for Commander Kor… er um… Gyhrdrak the “Bonebreaker” for his next appearance on the pitch!

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...

The Rocky Mountain Rampage Blood Bowl Tournament!
