Bones V - War Mammoth

[TheOldGuard]

Greetings!

 

Here is my War Mammoth from Bones V.

 

This took me what seems like an eternity to complete (I think I started it in winter 2021...). Being a big beasty, I had endless problems with paint rubbing off because I had to handle him a lot (and also, I opted not to prime him...🤦‍♂️) so I was forever doing retouches. I also should have probably painted him in sub-assemblies. Anyway, here he is, ready to stomp, crash & paaaarp!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking!

You did a fantastic job on it!!

Very nice. Good color choices. I like the brassy looking head armor and the milky eyes.

the fleshy skin tone is really striking. Interesting choice!

The pale skin really sets this one apart, and the rusty mail is great!

Thanks! As he's missing a chunk of tusk and has damage to the armor on the left side, I decided to make him blind in that eye as a result of battle trauma.

Thanks! He comes from a land of snow, ice and very little sun.

A great job overall but I especially like the eyes, one alive and one blinded.

Superb idea!

Yeah...the blind left eye and the armor are my favorite bits. Having the exposed skin be such a light color is an interesting choice. I think it works well, here. Overall, very impressive work.

Inspiring! I love the fleshy tone, the eyes, the browns....

Thanks, I wanted to get a bit of variety in there & not have too much brown overall.
