The Screaming banner

Fantasy
Games Workshop
28mm

This is the 'Screaming banner' from my black knights regiment. When I first read of the screaming banner in the army book I instantly thought of Edvard Munch's infamous painting. The mini is a faitfull reproduction measuring just 25mm wide, the only omision made was the two figures to the far left of the pier which had to be left out due to the shape of the banner. Sadly the original painting is now thought to have been destroyed by art thieves who panicked during a raid and burnt the evidence. As always comments are welcome ;-)

Thanks Supervike, it's one of those models that people find very divisive. Those who know the real painting love it and everyone else just think it looks messy. I value positive fedback on this mini more than any other as I like to know there are people out there who 'get it'. Art should be controversial right? ;-)

The concept is great but I have a idea. Try to paint some kind of "frame" on the edges of the banner. Ofcours not the frame as we can see on the real paintings. I think about something that will contrast the painting from the edges because now the results are not so autstanding that should be and your REALY GREAT job looks like colloured clout (sorry for that kind of comparison). And please fogive me my poor language
