Time for another, thematically unfocused blog entry, as Im trying to stay more active this time.

As said before, and I will probably say it more.. but a lot of my drafts and scribblings that are not commissions are challenges I give myself. The recent leak of Lady Malys made me go through my drafts folder in search for :

Its a reinterpretation of the one Dark Eldar character probably never coming back, Kruellagh de Vil. The idea was to reinterpret her as a character that would be equal parts Kabal, Wych and Covenite.. and much more corrupted than her previous incarnation while suggesting some similar elements... including her naughty variant.
To do that the idea was to reverse the "colors" ( inspired by the red skinned wrack studio paintjob ) so her red spandexy suit becomes her flayed skin, and what was her one piece of bare flesh in the SFW studio paintjob is now the mask instead.. a shattered harlequin (probably) mask to cover her mouth. I never gotten further than just the head draft though.

This is unlike the before mentioned triumvirate projects.. wich I pushed much further. Previous blogs I featured my Tau creations, one of the Dark eldar ones and the Dreadjaw Ork, wich was 1/3th of a Tyranid-Ork triumvirate, the second third of that project ofcourse had to be a genestealer cult character

As before I held to a certain "rule" and one of wich was there is always a more regular Infantry sized one among them ( Greyfax, the Visarch, Cypher.) This role is for the Asteroid Mining overseer. While I actually forgot the name, he was supposed to be a named character. Wich seems strange for Genestealer cults ( but then again, yes, they are doomed.. but their entire fluff is about generations.. a genestealer cult named character actually makes as much sense as a Imperial guard named character who too have "short" lifespans in the galactic sense.

The last one for the Necron-Tau triumvirate however has had a very long lifespan, and while the eventually released ( remember alot of these drawings are very old now.) actual Silent King is vastly different, this was my interpretation :

A huge influence on the concept came from one of the transformers movies ( I dont like them, so I dont remember wich.) in the desert there is a hermit megatron with robotic fleas and everything. This combined with me seeing the silent king back then as a sort of hermit that needed to look as if he never went to stasis created a good mental starting point.

Another concept I wanted to convey is that he is in control of the endless swarm, while not carrying a shard of the C'tan himself... this added the idea of a swarm of scarabs engulfing him.
Its my only necron character ever and I must say I didnt really got the feeling right, although Im very happy with the vulture, its not my only undead though.

I dont know if its appropiate for this forum but coming past these I also wanted to include them.. as a footnote so its not too bothersome that these are AoS drafts :

This is a Deid Bel, a midsize centrepiece concept of a "Death" faction idea ( there is more.) that takes the WFB Albion supplement's 3 miniatures and evolve it to an entire faction ( wich was AoS's thing.) and entire army of grave golems. ( this is not entirely true, the core troops, wich I have many more concepts for, are actually retro style mummies of the non egyptian kind.)

Until recently, AoS did not feature normal horses ( its actually a thing I liked.) and this interpretation of a vampire horse ( mixing in wolf and bat elements ) is one of my rarer horse attempts ( there are a lot of centaurs though, including Ynnari ones... Ynnari centaurs !? I will come back to that later ;) )

I leave it at that for now.. more soon.
