What a glorious concept.

Pity it did not make the GH.

I think if you made the bull body redder it would :
A pop more
B make the concept easier to recognise (I am sure the knife ears would still be fooled).

I hope you do make it
It is as I say fantastic

As my dumb dressed up bullcentaur didn’t make the final cut, glad thing I remembered to have @Russian-Alternative ones I bought last year!

I have the feeling that due to the colour scheme, some of you were able to recognise them as mine (aren’t always we all in for the recognition game at every contest?)

Idk really why I’m making the muted colours CDs, but it’s a scheme that feels right at home with me, ground and natural colours are my favourite of all

So here one early pic of how the thing was coming together at first

And after couple of days of work, at 01.35 AM of the last day I finished the entry xD

A worthy winner! Got a vote from me. Love the colour scheme, and I especially admire the weathering on the metal and the work on his face - he looks almost alive and breathing. Wonderful work!

Hey guy, the hat took fire from the axe… oh well, never mind! :smile:

Worthy winner for sure. Compliments and another proof that Italians do it better! :love_you_gesture:

This is a good mix of Offtipic and main thread all in one, and due to this duality I chose the main post
As some of you might know/notice I’m slowly becoming more and more attracted to the realistic part of WHFB, the common days of life on that world and all, so I wanted to go to the root of all of this.

I decided to paint this miniature of Gilgamesh from Claycyanide, as he’s the original source of all Fanfictions and all chaos Dwarfs being the main character of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Sumerian mythology from 5000/4000 years ago

This time, more than details, I wanted to focus and test my paint skill on the flesh and different blends/shade, and this is the result!

Hey there, back once again with what kept me company for the last month!
The diorama for the artisan contest took 5 weeks total, in the begin I had in mind to make a comic strip, but then my brain decided I wasn’t fit for that, so I could overcomplicate everything and make this diorama instead!

Basically everything you’ll see is 3d printed, the Fabelzel hat ok the earthshaker crew, the ogre and gnoblar from gahmak, the hound from lost Kingdom and I don’t remember where I got the slaves from

The piece is 12x12 on 2 layers of plywood, in the beginning it was 11x11 with only 1 3d printed wall from Lost Kingdom again, then I decided to add a second for more tridimensionality

The base is sand with pigments, and the only other natural material are the planks from a ice creams wooden sticks







Also the wall isn’t glued, so I can take it off for better pictures

Fantastic work! The Ogre merchant has a strong Jabba-the-Hut-vibe and his goblin/gnoblar associate is really spot on with a malicious kind of self-importance. Poor devils on the stage…
