Zomtober – Doomtrain

So this week’s entry in Zomtober is Doomtrain, a Zombie Superhero with a steam punk vibe.

The model is great, lots of sharp edges and ridges that really suits my style. I decided to go with an otherworldly blue green effect on the armour. I intended to wash it back to a darker tone but in the end I decided I liked it this way.

I focused a little more on the skin this time, wanting to create the pinkish tone that can be seen in the concept art for this mini. I decided to avoid gore as I like the clean lines that this mini has and didn't want to blur them with too much red.

The lower legs of the mini are separate to the rest of the body which gives you a lot of choice when position the model. I went for a running/reaching pose. Overall I’m very happy with the paintjob. The skin turned out great. I’m also very happy with the smoke stacks and the furnace grill on the back of the model.

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up the pace and finish another mini this week but I’m going to try my best. I hope you guys like him and make sure to check out everyone else’s entries!
