Bela Lugosi's Dead

Quick painting for a GameArtisans contest. Do a portrait of a horror character like an old fashioned portrait.

I did Bela in one of rembrandt's poses, I tried to do brushwork like Frans Hals, but don't think I nailed it.

Comicon 2011 DONE!

Finished and submitted with half an hour to go. I'm pretty happy, think it's better than my last model, which is always my goal for these.

New Personal Project Starting

Warhammer 40k Chaos Space Marine.

Just did a real quick pass in zbruh to get heights and scale.

The guy all the way on the left is my height (5'6") the Marine is the 7'6" the various 40k forums seem to agree is the "official" height. He looks positively massive compared to a normal person.

Xoliul Shader test

Late to the game on this one, great little viewport shader http://www.laurenscorijn.com/viewportshader

5 minutes of fiddling.

Dominance War5 Finals

For reals this time. I had to go chop down 2k tris after re-reading the rules. Also tweaked the main image some more.
