A Peek Under Old Man's Hood

If you are wondering how Job manages to move around without any legs, here's a little peek under his ragged sack...

The man is basically kept alive by his Anti-Gravity Chasis. The Chasis also works as a power source for the rest of the little machines plugged into his spine and viscerals by Adeptus Mechanicus many decades ago.

This is what Punk Moth is all about - extra detailed backgrounds which are more or less obscure...

Old Man Job

"Do not start with me, old man. The witty mind you posses tries ones best to guide me,  but in most cases it is as much needed as are pair of boots for you."

- Inquisitor Cassar

Behold! Old Man got finished today within two intensive painting sessions. Got to say, one of my favourite projects I've carried through so far...

+Old Man Job +

In case you are wondering how I painted Old Man's cape, I adapted JRN's sponge technique, altering it a bit to suit in my style and then just let the beast take control... I was looking for certain effect for the cloth, something that would look like maggot and moth eaten sack with oil stains and dirt. Hope I made it there.

Next up is the crown of my INQ28 gang, Inquisitor Marius Cassar. I have to gather some spirit before I can even start to figure out what bits I will be using while creating him. I've already planned some pretty interesting techniques that I can't wait to apply in his case.....

Old Man WIP I

The postman brought some new bits for me yesterday. I urged to tear the blister open and inspect what would I do with the parts. I have this habit of modelling my projects first with the blue tack so that I can get better picture of how the bits fit together...

Creepy Crypt Ghoul hands will nicely support Old Man's sneaky and chilly grin. Anti-grav chasis might be covered by purity seals or just one big scroll including maintenance instructions for the old machinery etc.

Old Man's Grin...

Old Man is starting to gain some shapes. Once again I used GW's Flagellant head to begin with, adding some spiky hair on his head, eye-balls and lips to bring the greedy grin on his face.

I'm thinking about using Cairn Wraith's robe for Old Man's body. Instead of having his legs covered by the robe, Old Man will levitate with an anti-grav chasis that replaces the lower part of his crippled body. With the anti-grav chasis, Old Man hoovers around battlefields like Orko of the Masters of the Universe, making dim humming sound with casual crackling arcs down to ground every now and then.

Akvarelli III

Here's my third drawing made with watercolours, white acrylic paint and black ink pen, inspired by the grim and dark Warhammer 40k Universe. This piece is influenced by Jakob Rune Nielsen's servo-skull collector seen in one of mr. Nielsen's 40k wizpimp sketches on his wonderful blog miniaTEXTures. There's some obvious hints from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet too. I won't bother quoting the famous phrase and instead will leave you with the drawing...

The scheme follows the two previous painings. This crook-backed oldster is inspecting his latest finding, wondering in his twisted mind what'd be the perfect price for such a fine piece...
