Description
Painted cover to a book for SPQ publications ("Bombshells") from earlier last year. Took me just over 3 weeks to paint it - gun took me around 3 days, as did the pants yadda yadda yadda. Possibly I am crazy, but to me there is something zen-like in being so immersed in details you lose track of time. One of my original sketches in presenting ideas to the client included a playing card stuck to one of the helmets, and now I wish I had done it, just to add a little more detail and a spot of red colour.Sketched on paper, then painted in photoshop 7000x5000 pixels approx.

I love the mixture between caricature and realism style. The texture's clothes and stones are perfect. And, what can I say about their faces and expressions? Absolutely amazing.

Actually own them - found them at a second hand shop and they now sit in my 'costume' cupboard. Had them sitting on my desk as I painted them. No cool skull on them though!
