Description

This is actually a resin model kit I bought a few years ago, and had to resculpt all the details, as it was in pretty bad shape. I painted it 5 times with acrylic paints, using airbrushes, transparent washes and drybrush techniques, before I was happy with the skin tones. I took a digital pic of it, did some minor Photoshop work to it(added the trees), used Illustrator for the layout, and RealDraw Pro for the Logo. This is nothing more than a portfolio piece, a ridiculously fictitious magazine cover. Any comments would be welcomed!

Don't know if it's the model or the angle, but he seems kind of dwarfen in proportions.

very clever cover, aside from how well you did with the character I like the disparity between US and Canadian prices, nice work!

Thank you for the compliments! The angle DOES make it look a little more dwarven than it really is, but Ah-nold IS a little taller than that, relatively speaking. I'm glad you guys took the Canadian price disparity in the way it was intended, made me chuckle when I thought of it!;>)

Great image....looks as though the prices are about the same comparison to Australia at the moment...we have crappy dollar value! You did a great job on the model too...excellent colour blends.....the skin tones are fantastic...How big is this model incidentally....wondering how good you eyesight is...lol....I always get sore eyes when painting miniatures and as there is a lot of work in this one....is it a miniature?...is EXCELLENT anyway.

He's 11 inches tall. With all the resculpting and painting, I had between 55 to 60 hours in it, maybe a bit more.
