This was done using GIMP2 (free download software) in about 20 minutes.Yes yes yes, I know that there will be a requirement to place a downpayment on Tyranids in the near future, but as my birthday drops just before the 16th ... I'm comfortable that buying bugs won't be a problem. My target is potentially a Trygon/Mawloc and 20 Gargoyles...
What I'll do with the 'scratch built bunch' I was to build is a painful consequence.
On another note, I was gotten a small Bamboo fun drawing pad for Christmas. It's simply incredible! As a budding artist (who isn't in 40k circles) the pad combines the best elements of the repainting and layering of oil paints, the sketching of pencils, the delicious layering of watercolours....
It is my best best buy...
As such, I'll be dropping in a few more 'graphics' to compliment both the batreps and written stuff. It's a very exciting tool ... very exciting.
So as a taster I slapped this together in a couple of minutes (obviously), and hopefully my skills will improve with some practice.
Be nice...
