Hunter King

'The Tho'lein, a proud race that wins the respect, admiration and loyalty of their people through strength and prowess. Any one member of their species, male or female may ascend to a ruling throne so long as they prove themselves in battle or hunting a great beast but either task must be won with honor. A cheat or murderer will just as likely be torn apart by the very people he is attempting to sway to his banner.

Once a King (or Queen) is 'crowned', a chain of golden coins is threaded through the hard, bone protrusions that wrap around a Tho'lein's skull to signify their status.

Humans that have encountered this race sometimes refer to them as Blue Devils due to their skull-like appearance and crown of sharp bone.'
Trying to be a little more loose and gestural with this painting, only detailing the essential areas and seeing how much I could get away with leaving rough. Very happy with how it turned out.

Nuclear Dawn Update

Now that Nuclear Dawn is officially released (yay!), it's time to start showing some of my 'cutting room floor' pieces.

First up is a group shot of the Consortium Team that includes all of the classes available to play in the game.


 These character shots were originally for a Promo Wallpaper but it was decided to instead use in-game 3D models on the background I painted (not this background). Luckily, I was able to avoid painting the entire Empire Team as well before the decision was made.

Next up is the Consortium Support Promo which was another standalone Character Promo I finished back in February and it just seemed to get lost along the way as sometimes happens. It was one of my favorites from the set of character promos I did so I'm really happy to finally have it seen by everyone.
