Description That's right. The next one. Here's Ronan Barec , micro-ized.

Still WIP, save for the jaig eyes on his helmet, I didn't add any markings. The colors aren't final, yet, either, but you may have noticed they are a little different from the "color test" ones.

This time, the awesome Micro Mandos created by Or'din Dhaka'ra on the Mandalorian Mercs forum were truly not much more than a base for my micro. I completely redrew the torso (see the different plate layout compared to Ayden and Gladus), drew the gaunlets, the belt, the bandolier and kama myself as well, and did modifications on parts such as knee and shin plates. I only used templates from the MIB board for his head, that sword hilt and the pistol holster.

Piecing together a face that somewhat resembled Clive Owen was a rather futile task, it's damn difficult to create any likeness on such scale. Still, I tried to do my best.

Kudos goes to *Kuk-Man for the original design of Ronan's armor.

EDIT:

did an amazing micro rendition of Ronan's custom blaster rifle, the EE-23 MkIV (which was originally illustrated by *Kuk-Man ), so I totally had to add that to the Micro. He also helped me out with a template for a rifle-holding man. I only made the colors a little darker and drew a foreshortened version of his left gauntlet, that's all. In addition, I also drew a rendition of Ronan's custom blaster pistol, the P-7 'Offshoot' (drawn by ~CucumberBoy ) and added that as well.

Thanks to those guys, of course.

Nice.
The rifle reminds me of the ZH-73 Series.

Nice. The color changes, small as they are, are still an improvement. And I may have to ask ZERO to fix me up one of those gun.

Hehe. Yeah, I'm gonna edit his EE-23 to make micro versions of some of its variants, so that we end up with something like this . The Mini-Tak might be interesting for Joras, perhaps... he did, after all, admire it in WFSAM.

As for the colors, I think I tried to make them overly sophisticated, while simple is better. While green is a pretty common color for Mandos, pitting it against brown, beige and dirty tones makes it a little less stereotypical, and especially the helmet shows a difference. Green is my favorite color after all, but I didn't want him to look like Boba Fett...

More mini mando's, I really like the colour scheme for this one, some really nice details for something so small, nice work.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Yeah, that's the cool thing about that micro art, because you can't believe how detailed you can really make it. That's what inspired me to do it in the first place, seeing the brilliant stuff from ~ZEROresolution and ~SpectorKnight , and doing it myself made me appreciate the detail all the more.

Excellent work on Ronan. He looks great, and he does bear a fair resemblance to Clive Owen.

Vor'e! Yeah, well the only feature of Owen's face I could really convey were his cheekbones. And maybe the eyebrows.^^

Good job at any rate. I think he looks fine. Or maybe I'm just not familiar with Clive Owen enough to tell the difference.

What I may have forgotten to mention... Clive Owen happens to be who Ronan is supposed to look like.

Aha. So just ignore my artwork and ask a dumb question. That's so... typical.



Just kidding.^^ You don't know him? Clive Owen is a more or less famous British actor. He played King Arthur in King Arthur, and had roles in Children of Men, Shoot 'em Up, Inside Man, Sin City and recently The International. Check him out at imdb: [link]
