Gentlemen, I present to you my senior graduating project: a buttload o' warhammer.
(And if you're too lazy to read what I have to say and just want to look at pretty pictures, check out the link here: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z77/mountaincycle661/Senior%20Project/ )
Having spent the last 5 years of my life languishing at a less-than-optimal university as an art student, I FINALLY got to work on a project where the sky was the limit and there were truly no parameters. Some art majors concentrate in photography or ceramics. Others focus on fibers or graphic design.
I focus on warhammer.
Having somehow convinced my superiors to allow me to pursue this project, I went all out over the next several months. Some of the figures were previously painted, like the thousand sons and demons. Others were painted specifically for this project (like the entire Imperial force present). All the terrain was created and painted for the exhibition as well. The castle/table/cathedral was also purpose built as a kick-*** display for the game board. 17" plexiglass was secured around the perimeter to discourage punk kids from stealing my $hit.
When all was said and done, over 200 models were present for the project. It was on display for 3 weeks in the savannah mall (in savannah GA, in case you were wondering). It made me proud to put my craft up there with the likes of *ahem*..."traditional" art. It was quite a hit with the gallery folks, certainly shook things up a bit and offered something totally different.
The link above will send you to my photobucket page where you can check out the display in its full glory....over a 100 pictures. And trust me, theres a LOT to see. But, for those of us with cripplingly short attention spans, a few teasers:
