now. Since the previous one has a cold theme I wanted to try something warm on this one, but basic fire is so overdone, "real fire" is painfully easy and mindnumblingly monotenous, So I pulled a bit of inspiration from one of the clients models (loosely mind you) Went with a few of the esablished colors (orange yellow, dark blue and purple) and came up with this guy. Not quote what I origionally inteded as I meant the gray sections to be a lot darker, but as I was painting it I thought the dark background on a warm or hot color scheme was so cliche, I had to try something a little different. I rather like this, but.. my oponnion isnt waht counts, so if you see this repainted.. He didnt like it =) But I figured Id post it anyway for the record. Not sure how much more work to put into it but Id say it is about 1/2 to 2/3 complete. I am going to put something darker on some of the main wing armor panels, so that we have a backdrop to put a rune or something, and to pull the colors a bit closer to the clients army. So probably dark blues or purples....
and yes the guns are warped. I made the mistake of washing them after straightening them so Ill re straighten them shortly.
Well, if your client doesn't like it, he must be incredibly demanding- it's remarkably brilliant!
