Possibly one of the best models we have ever painted in months. This gigantic Spider has been our master piece during this July in our workshop. This Arachnarok has been very funny to perform (the assembly was not so funny XD) and thanks to its scheme of color, multiple details, Goblins and the base we have created, this model is one of the most impressive works we have ever done. Thanks to our customer too and for your confident. Let us explain how we painted this Arachnarok:
We say it is one of the best models we have ever performed because
our Arachnarok won this past weekend the Games Workshop Zaragoza annual painting contest in the category of Vehicle/Monster.
When our customer contacted us for the first time, he only had some unclear ideas about the whole composition and the scheme of color. Our customer wants his model to show it in a showcase so we recommended him to assembly as much elements as the model allows including Goblins, little spiders, wooden structures on its belly, decoration at the base, etc. And so we did! Just check out the picture below to see how many details the base has:
But the scheme of colors was still unclear. Our customer purposed some orientative schemes with transitions from black to warm colors but they weren't too good. Anyway, what we liked from those pictures were the yellow elements painted on the spiders and we quickly realized that a yellow spider with black spots could be something very showy. Then we took some references from real spiders, we loaded our air brush and this is the result:
The whole wooden structure and the Goblins were the most easy things to perform because they have more classical colors. As we placed as much elements as we could, the composition is very chaotic and confusing, something very typical in Golins...
In these pictures below you can check out the Forest Goblin Shaman surounded by all its Goblin horde. The feathers tips have showy colors that offers some alternative spots to look at, making the composition more fun and complete.
We love the postures and details of these green devils.
Finally, we want to show you closer the Arachnarok eyes and face that are very natural but effective and aggressive at the same time.
This is without doubt those kind of models that you miss when they leave the workshop. We would like to keep it for our own "Hall of Fame" but unfortunately is it an order...and we are sure that our customer is going to be very happy we he receive his Arachnarok.
And what about you? Would you like to see your models painted like this spider? Go ahead and you won't repent!
