Now that's one Mean Jelly Bean!

Tonight we have another member of the Brood faction, which is dominated by monsters and other critters.  He is standing on a 40mm base, to give you an idea of scale.  He is called Mean Jelly Bean, and it was based on the artwork (of the same name) of Brom.  I really enjoy his classical style of oil painting, and I tried to replicate it when painting this figure.







This was a version that I did way back in 2003.  The colors are not terribly different, but the approach certainly was!  My palette has changed a lot since then, and continues to change almost weekly, it seems. :-)  I mix a lot more muted pale greens into my golors, along with purple grey colors like the old GW shadow grey.

By comparison, these colors were far simpler, just a variety of browns.



I think I have a few other "then and now" figures like this, which could be interesting to check out...

Dread(ing) more Chaos?

Sorry about that . :-)

Here is another Tainted World Eaters dreadnought.  Gee, everything seems to be tainted, doesn't it?  It must be me.  Too much fiber.

This time, he's got himself a wee little gun... so he might shoot his buddies.










He's standing next to one of the banner bearers you have seen me post recently:


And now a shot showing the sculpey bases.  Since he had a heavy bolter, I used some polystyrene tubing to creat some spent shell casings...
