Hi all,

here is my entry which won gold in Warhammer Monster category at Golden Demon 2007 in Poland. It took me several weeks of work, but the effort paid off!

I wanted to add as many small but important details as:
- bruises and wounds
- freehand patterns on the vests (ogre's and gnobblar's)
- patterns on the sacks
- freehand patterns and heraldry on the banner he's sitting on
- fading pattern on the sword
- weathering
- mutated dog-fish swimming under the ice
- footprints on the snow
- a stream of water leaking from melting snow onto the base
- drops of water from melting icicles

The inscription says "And whoever stands here he will die, because it's curs...."
The end is intentionally washed off by the pool of water leaking from the crack on the back of the base (will be shown on another photo).

I only regret the photos don't show all the fine details and freehand patterns, but I will post more and bigger photos soon...

I hope you like it
Aña

bullfrog 15-Sep-07 #235591		Rating: 10 WOW. The base alone is worth a 10 from me...forget the rest of the min...which also happens to be good. I absolutely love the dogfish in the water. Woof. It is no wonder you won a gong for it. Was the base set in clear resin or did you spend hours painting it all on there?
Matt Cexwish 14-Sep-07 #235514		Rating: 10 Yep... definately the cooles Miniature on the Polish Games Day this year... I had bet on you for the Sword as well... Well... I love the unusual colors and the idea with the two different layers, Ice Part and Ground part......
