Tauros Venator Diorama

Well I finished the diorama on Saturday and went and entered it at the local GW store. I wasn't completely happy as I painted the guys on Friday night / Saturday, but hey I did all this in to weeks.

the pictures aren't perfect and when I receive the model back I'll take some better ones. I took a couple before these where the lighting was even worse, but I loved the way it add quite a bit of drama with the shadows.

So I'm generally pleased with it all however, I felt I rushed the two troopers and I think it shows... I also think that effected the results of the competition as well as I came second out of three of us.  And this is the winner. It is excellenty executed however something about it rings of something I've seen before by Keith Robertson (Heavy Metal painter) though I can't find pictures. None the less it was very well produced and a worthy winner.


Oh well better luck next time... and must try harder!

He only won cos he did under water stuff. Its nice tho.. I prefer yours actually I hate to say. Maybe a bit more time would have helped with things, but its hard to compete with cutaway underwater stuff...

Thanks, I checked it out and Keith Robertson did produce almost the exact same diorama of gollum, I had seen it in his 'Eavy Metal showcase of his work in White Dwarf 306!

Robbed I was! :D

I think the scene is wasted, their should be a giant fish or something interesting in the water... otherwise whats the point, the only thing telling a story is gollum eating a fish.
