Minotaurus (AITNA Model fantasy news)

[franciuus]

HI all German friends.

i show you my last work. it's a boxart for AITNA model.
the pieces is a minotaur in 54mm but very big!!!!!
the sculpt it's by my friend Carmine "Thor" Giuliano, you can see the wip here:

it's a pleasure for me paint this piece, i study a lot about dirt and texture effect... i think for this mini the best way to paint would be atmosphere and character. so i paint with a lot of grafical contrast effect, and a total HOT interpretation. (the cold colour are used only in the shadows..)

my very big pictures :P

Whoopy! Great work! Love the skin and the fur-texture! A real "eye-opener"! 8)
But what looks a bit strange on the model is the single blood vessel on each arm. Looks kind of unrealistic, the model would have looked better without it. ;)

Hi,



every mini you paint seems to live. It is amazing, the pure ammount of details and those tiny nuances in all tones are just breathtaking. Whenever you paint a miniature, I can see you really love your hobby. Keep on my friend!!!

About Italian Games Day: I had a chat with rusto about the event. I am not sure yet, maybe I come Modena instead of Cologne. We will see.....


Cu, :D
