paintminion Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 See that tabardish, weird thing hanging down between his legs and covering his nawty bits? What the heck is it? I am doing a commission piece and I have stared at it and I am still a bit clueless. Covering his stones with stones? Hiding his organ with organs? (hubby wants me to paint it like it's livers or hearts or something). I am trying to keep this as clean as I can here, but the discussion here has degenerated beyond imagination. Save me. Keep it clean, but...Gene, give me a clue cuz I feel stupid here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendertroll Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It looks like little rodent pelts stitched together to me. Do you have a shot from the back, or is it... not forum-legal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalchaos Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Looks like reptilian "Dragon" scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The original concept art makes it look like some kind of highly textured hide: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11481-kanaag-the-half-orc-ranger/ Gene's sculpted version is a little different, and some of the armor was lost in translation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendertroll Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) The original concept art makes it look like some kind of highly textured hide: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11481-kanaag-the-half-orc-ranger/ Gene's sculpted version is a little different, and some of the armor was lost in translation. Yeah, looks like dragon hide in that picture, but the figure doesn't have the rest of the skirt thing with the same texture, so it isn't quite clear. Anyway, I'd go with dragon scales or patchwork fur. Edited February 6, 2013 by Slendertroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachne Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 My mom had a weird flokati rug over the back of our couch for years that was a bunch of random hides and furs stitched together. Texture was sorta like that, with bristly boar hair, fluffy rabbit fur, and all everything in between, maybe a dozen different shapes and textures sewn in a circle. I think there was horse in there, and chinchilla. Looking back, that thing was kinda brutal. I'd paint it to look like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 you know I never really noticed what was in his left hand. After seeing the concept art it's a dual bladed weapon. ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evhorne969 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 IIRC the concept art I had to work from at the time hadn't been finished yet. It was still very loose and sketchy so I had to improvise a little. I remember talking to Ron about the loin cloth and we couldn't figure out what it was, so I went with "bumpy"... That's pretty sad isn't it? I like the previous ideas of it being a rust monster hide or the flokati rug made out of all kinds of different critters fur! Either of those would work great!!
