Mr Bonner's Troll.

Postby Joek » Thu Jan 16, 2014 9:24 pm

Painted this up a while back, when I had anticipated launching a Kickstarter for this and the other bits which make up the scene. Alas, time schedule would have made it basically impossible to do without completely fucking up Salute (and I really didn't want to do yet another Salute without having something new to flog), so the old fashioned way of selling it'll be. In truth, I'm much happier...

Anyhoo, here you go:

Cheers :) . I gave it a go - hence why it's incredibly loose in the old paint, that's for sure. I faffed around on photoshop a while back and placed him in the original artwork to see...

:froth: That's rather awesome, Joe! The figure really suits your painting style, too.

Beautifully distinctive painting on a very different Troll figure, it seems to capture a fairy tale aspect to the species, I can see this one living under a bridge.

Although, if I might suggest:

Really very good indeed Joe

I'm not sure if it is possible but that'd be even better if the colours were less bright, maybe more grey in the mix? Just thinking about the actual artwork

But that's an aside. Excellent pj

Great stuff.
Who's the miniature by?

Do you have a link to the original picture? I want to use it as my computer wallpaper.

The miniature's gonna be released by me around mid-march (it'll also be available as a set with the little troll thing and rock base to set it all up nicely) :)

All sculpted by Roberto Chaudon.

As for bigger images - I don't know if they're big enough for wallpaper, but you could have a look at the Riotminds site http://www.riotminds.se/, who are the owners of the work :) .

Should point out before anyone starts asking - 'yes', all permissions have been granted and 'double yes', Paul like the paintjob I did. Which was a nice pep me up!
