Description I've lost touch with the number of years I've been asked to do a Slaine piece, so in the end I just did one for the hell of it. I wanted it to really feel post-battle, and NOT look like a Bisley.
Here's the result! L.

Magic once more. There will only be one Simon Bisley, your piece takes Slaine in an altogether new direction.
What size would the original have been, or is?
Will we get to see more of this character from you?

Digging the windowed book cover look. I think you're one of the reasons I enjoy heavy design elements in my illustration.

Dig it!

Do you have a good trick of the trade for the blood on his body? I'm doing a gladiator piece and want to bloody him up, but have not come close to this awesome look

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LiamRSharp In reply to Quazzie [2011-03-08 16:42:57 +0000 UTC]

It's done in Photoshop with the brush on overlay setting, and it's a pretty big brush, like 190 px, with lots of scattering, wet edges, and trying to be random and yet follow the form of the figure. Also it's a very dark red, nearer to black actually. It looks redder as you use it.
Not sure if that's any help!
