Now this has become an interesting journey. I wasn't sure what to expect by way of the model for this guy. The drawing provided looks a lot like a gorilla.
Broad shoulders and short nose, quite stocky with a short neck. But when the model arrived it just didn't feel that way to me. The model has a long nose and narrow face with narrow shoulders. I thought about it for a while and was struck by its similarity to the baboon.
The more I thought about it the more it seems to be the right direction for me to take.
I had great fun picking out the colours and now he is quite an imposing chap. There is one flaw in that he should have a long tail. But maybe he lost that in a game of Guild Ball ..... its those Butchers you know, always on hand with a sharp knife ;-)
Marbles - I welcome you to team Masons!
Nice work and looks great using the baboon markings.
ReplyDeleteHe will definitely be a bit different ;-)
DeleteI believe baboon is quite a delicacy in some places :)
ReplyDeleteSee I knew it - someone has eaten the tail ;-)
DeleteI may have to pin it on my goal!
DeleteThat would be funny!!
DeleteBrilliant! That's one badass!
ReplyDeleteOK it may be a little red - but that is not bad I assure you ;-)
