Artist's Comments

Ok,so today is competition day...and he's done!
WELL...I say that...im not happy with his banner,i tried at a simple design,and it just looks...wrong...
So,I'm going to enter him as he is anyway,and whatever the result,I'm gonna repaint the banner...then you boys and gals can see him properly.
For now,you get this view...I tried a more ';painty' approach to him,like a portrait artist was viewing the Marauder straight after a battle or something...i thought the dirty approach would suit this sort of chap well!
I tried getting a bit of expression into the face,as it turned out to be a horrible one to paint as it was...whilst the Perry twins are great sculptors,I do feel sometimes that the faces they sculpt lack a little definition..still,on the other hand,it gave me a good reason to try something a little more advanced...see what you think!
I'll get the banner re-painted...then you can see the rest :)
Comments and critiques welcomed as ever.

The extra work on his face was worth it then...

Yeah, he looks very alive and more human than most of his brethren. I get a certain "Wolverine"-vibe from him somehow.

Looks good. Great paint job (and the model as a whole). Much better than anything I could ever do.

As for constructive criticism, I think the head is a bit out of proportion to the rest of the body (particularily the arms and chest area). It seems that attention to detail has been lavished on the face, but is lacking (be it painting or modeling) on the chest making the head look a little out of place and the chest a little "GI Joe".

It could be because the head is refined and detailed, but the body is "I can rip your throat out with my pinkie".

Regardless, the model as a whole is excellent. Maybe a little bit of dead grass (the tan/brown stuff that GW doesn't sell) on the base and it's fantastic ^_^

Class paint job as always. As for criticism, I think a brighter banner would set some contrast up, I think the way he is now when he hits the battlefield he's blend in a bit too much with the scenery, and I don't think he's the type for not standing out! Of coarse he's more realistic as he is now, but when was realism fun in Warhammer :P
Call me crazy but when I saw him the first thing I thought was "This guy needs some woad, the blue warpaint (or maybe died blood, him being chaos). Maybe a line going down the side of his face and torso? Keep up the good work Ben!

If you can read this congratulations. Only 2% of Web users can read cleartype2 fonts. If you are one of those copy and post this to your sig!

The face is good, well done, the work was worth it, and you can't argue with a beard like that

I must admit though, he doesn't look all to 'chaosy'.. had it not been for the title and the insignia on his blade, he could have been a regular man, if not a strapping one

holy shit that looks good.

Aside from the banner looking a bit chunky, I can't find fault w/ any of it :)
