earthen Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hey guys, I've found my painting to be slacking a little bit, so to keep me motivated to paint and learn new techniques - as opposed to just finish the army - Ive decided to start a WIP blog here. To keep the fluff short and sweet here, I'll just say that the theme is for an astral, exploration and bear themed chapter hailing from the halo worlds. First pics up (although old will serve as a great place holder for now) - counts as Vulkan Expedition Leader Osiris Solarium http://i44.tinypic.com/2ba9o7.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/70dxf8.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2me4h2x.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2upfk0g.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/w7oodk.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/30xcql5.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2rf8mu0.jpg Thanks for looking, and I'm excited for future C&C/feedback from this very skilled community to help improve my skills and overall army aesthetics.

Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Awesome conversion and paint job and a cool concept. Inspired by BattleTech's Ghost Bears, perchance?

earthen Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 haha thanks for the feedback and compliments - was not expecting such a reply. I will be sure to work on my pictures for the next update. @ wolf priest H - i wish there was a good smiley for a guilty smile. It was actually their original name until some helpful brainstorming on sons of corax forumns! I think spirit bears has a more etheral ring, and not quite as much connection to MW. Although MW will always be close to my heart. <3 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170450-spirit-bears-wip/#findComment-2013564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Priest Haelaeif Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other SF games. Better to steal something good and make it even better than to create something entirely new and completely boring. ;) I was considering a Steel Viper or Smoke Jaguar rip-off when I was starting my new marines. Too bad I didn't think of the Ghost Bears, I might have chosen those, in fact. Now I'm doing something completely different, but I still like the idea. Maybe someday I shall do a Smoka Jaguar-inspired force. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170450-spirit-bears-wip/#findComment-2013575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
