This time the scene will be minimal, with a single miniature and a terrain. Only with these I will make a story.

I made again a post-apocalyptic environment, perfect to put one of those space marines. And that's where the issue comes up again ...

I've wanted to represent a space marine on a larger scale, using parts of an exterminator. You know that parts of the exterminators are wider and larger than a space marine, perfect to do a Space Marine in a superior size.

1st STEP



After an intense painting session, I present you the terrain finished... or nearly so.

In my post-apocalyptic style I decided to use gray colors and earthy tones. In a future world where nuclear war and environmental degradation are basic, large areas of desert are covered with ashes and small human outposts. This is why I have turned to try to capture this idea.

Details varied, such as cans, newspapers ... provide more realism to the scene. Do not rule out adding a little something more.

2nd STEP



Finally, I present a little bit of the progress, the miniature, which needs more work on light and shadows. The pose of the mini is the definitive, although the settlement of the miniature on the terrain is provisional.

But the idea is that you can see ... a space marine that is searching beyond the blood and the stairs.
I really like the idea of ​​this scene, with an unbalance between the left side, with the figure, and the empty right side, where the blood is like other character.

It's an experiment, which like it or not to you, but I love plan and perform it.

Be happy!

3rd STEP

Looks nice, Fallout meets 40K .

Truly inspiring, yes!
Thanks for your comment!

Another masterpiece. The attention to detail in your work is really rather special. How long does it usually take to finish one of these things?

Ooohhh... thanks a lot, Flinty!
It's difficult to say... but in one week usually I finish this kind of scenes (I don't know how many hours I spend on it!!)
Bye!

That is a very nice piece indeed. The fine attention to detail really creates a sense of place, excellent work.

And fast too.

Good work matey. like the balance , and sense of quiet.
