Olis Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Here we go, brothers and sisters, the first place model in the Crystal Brush Awards: http://crystalbrush.coolminiornot.com/cbartwork/index/id/724 Credit goes to Kirill Kanaev. Absolutely gorgeous model and very deserving of the win, even if the likeness may be not to everyone's taste. GG Kirill.

Bryan Blaire Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 That is fantastic! (He does look a little cross-eyed though) I'm amazed by all the details on that figure!

Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Crazy cool paint job. anyone have any idea where the model came from? obviously its a lot of custom sculpting, but does anyone know if its an entirely custom sculpt or if theres some plastic in there somewhere?

It's a large scale model, completely scratchbuilt. Which just makes it that much more impressive. I don't know what dark pact Kanaev made to be able to do all this, but sign me up.

K0rtmer Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey, wait, hang on ... That ... That isn't 28 mm, no?! I swear to the holy mother of god, if this is 28 mm I'll throw out all my brushes and never touch one again.Edit: Ok, I see. Category Large Scale, Manufacturer Scratchbuilt. Still. This is a mind-blowing paint job at any scale. Absolutely mind-blowing.

Stoic Raptor Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Daniel Craig, Crimson Fist. I was thinking the same thing! That is the most realistic face I've ever seen on a mini. (He does look a little cross-eyed though) I'd be cross-eyed too, after painting all those details! I don't know what dark pact Kanaev made to be able to do all this, but sign me up. I'm in line right behind you, mate. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304992-crystal-brush-awards-2015-winner/#findComment-3985390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If anyone can find the WIP pics, I'd like to see them.

JeffTibbetts Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I thought it was Daniel Craig as well, until someone pointed out it looks more like Putin. Now I can't unsee it.

Firepower Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well, thanks for ruining that for me, Jeff. Not only is Daniel Craigfist now a Crimson Putin, but I can't even make 90% of my Putin related jokes, because politics. Jerk. Actually, with those puffy cheeks...I still see Craigfist. Woof. Much better this way. Sorry about that whole "jerk," thing. Best buds again? :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304992-crystal-brush-awards-2015-winner/#findComment-3987545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 We can be friends, sure, but the more I look the more Putin he appears. Putin even has the goofy eyes and that hair cut. Given the artist's name, my vote's on Putin. I mean, not my actual vote... Er... No politics!!! Maybe some day I'll make another trip to the City Museum and we can meet up and arm wrestle over it.

Olis Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 If anyone can find the WIP pics, I'd like to see them. My skills at navigating social media are terrible and couldn't find them on TGN's MyTwitterFace. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any wip shots using google-fu. If I do come across some, rest assured I will relay them here. Here's some links to further illustrate the Yellow One's calibre (if it wasn't obvious already): http://www.puttyandpaint.com/Yellow_one http://www.paintingbuddha.com/products/pbl-kirill http://s125.photobucket.com/user/KKanaev/profile Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304992-crystal-brush-awards-2015-winner/#findComment-3987593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Great details but to much going on. I applaud the artist maybe a different face would have been better.

Guest Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am going to be a loner here... I cant say I am a fan, maybe its jealousy of skill... But thats not how I see Crimson Fists. And I thought Putin too :) I cant deny the skill.

JeffTibbetts Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm with you guys. I don't really see the Fists this way. Too ostentatious to me. Cracking work, though.

exetus Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm in complete agreement. My googly eyes are all about the sensational skill, even though I feel it's misrepresenting any Son of Dorn. It looks more like the work of a more expressive Chapter like the Blood Angels, being so decorative.
