Alright so it's been quite a while since I last picked a brush and although I still knew which end to use, I had to get a model that would boost my painting mojo up. And you know what kind of models do that right ? Yes indeed, a Jes Goodwin ogre was probably the best pick !
Now I've been meaning to paint my ogre collection for a while but you know how it is, there's always a new project, I also had this crazy man-bear to paint for a friend so I thought I could paint both of those for him as a token of gratitude for his renowned kindness and generosity !
Gutlagg was his choice but I decided to paint it the way I wanted so I opted for earthly colours with a touch of colours and red hair to give a good contrast. When I get round to painting mine (some day) I'll probably regret having done it before since I really like that colour scheme.
You might wonder what the bear is and to be honest I have no idea, my friend had it with its arms ripped off and he wanted someone to fix it so I just gave it orc arms to sculpt hair on. I believe the hair style blends well enough and the humanoid arms fit the already humanoid shape of the bear, it does make him look silly but that was from the start ! ^^
I hope the poor fellow looks better now and can play its part in my mate's kislev force !
Now that my painting mojo is back after the post boyl blues, I'm fully motivated to get onto more ambitious stuff ! Here's a sneak peak but there's plenty more !
Have a good wek end all !
wow, la peinture de l'ogre est superbe. C'est marrant, la fourrure des bottes est la même que celle de l'ours, peut_être sont-elles taillées dans l'un des ses congénères ^^
ReplyDeleteAhah ! Content wue tu aies noté, c'est fait exprès, j'aime l'idée que l'ours se doute pas que les bottes de son pote sont faites an peau de son frangin ^^
DeleteGreat stuff as usual. Love the teenage feeling of the flaming hoodie, i can almost see the "thrasher" brand on it ^^
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea, I even gave him freckles for this juvenile touch ^^
DeleteThe furry model is quite goofy, but I suspect that you may have improved it with the new arms and fur.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice take on that ogre. No reason why you couldn't use it again on your own one really.
No reason indeed but I do feel the need to change. I'm going to paint olley techpriests soon and it is very tempting to just replicate a paintjob I did a few years ago. I've repainted mt goodwin champions about three times and I do like the fresh start. Only time will tell 😊
DeleteFabulous paint scheme on the ogre - love the hood and striped trousers in particular.
ReplyDeleteThanks, striped pants were almost mandatory and I wanted something fancy but original on the hood 😊
DeleteBear looks great - you blended those arms in really well, I thought they were part of the sculpt.
ReplyDeleteOgre though is beautiful mate. Really like the colours you've gone with.
Ogres paint themselves mostly, I really want to paint them all now.
DeleteThanks!
Content de te voir peindre du battle / mordheim, ça change ! Beau boulot de chirurgie sur l'ours et de peinture sur l'ogre
ReplyDeleteAh ben je vais y revenir donc ça tombe bien !
DeleteMerci à toi !
Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal !
DeleteGutlagg is a super model with lots of character. The painting's great - I particularly like the trousers. Good sculpting on the beat, too - I would never have realised that those were new arms!
ReplyDeleteThe whole range is just brilliant, I love most of them and fully intend to paint more now !
DeleteThanks a lot !
Extremely cool paint jobs - as always! This is why i love swinging by this blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWell that's the nicest thing I could read ! Thank you !
DeleteNice work on those and tasty looking stuff in the queue.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if you like them as much next time ^^
DeleteIncredible work on Gutlagg ... superb!
ReplyDeleteSimple one but fun one ! Thanks !
