Hi Di Ho!
Sup Dudes... After an Amazing Marathon of writing Applications for Architecture Offices once again which Goal it is to find a Big Ass Company who will then Exploid my juvenile naivety for a Full Time Job (Yes, the Search has been successful already...:)... Lucky me...) I can now finally post the Newest (and kinda Special...) Video for this "Wednesday", The Light Of Redemption - Sabotage At Valve 86... It is a Special Project since you might not have seen it so far, although it has Won Gold at the German Golden Demon back in 2007... I remember taking some pictures and assembling a nice Photo Collage only to notice that my Photography Skills were not as Advanced to deal with the Depth of the Elements, resulting in a somewhat blurry and crappy Picture... I decided to remove it from my CMON Gallery and wait til I got it right... Never happened til that HD Cam came along... So I am very happy finally sharing this Piece with you after such a long time...:)...
The Story behind it is that I wanted to build a Duel that tries to Question a lot of things... First of, I am not happy about the General Black And White, Light Vs. Darkness Theme at all any more (even though the little Sign say exactly this...^-^...)... I wanted to create Two Characters, that have switched their stereotypical "Good Vs. Evil" Roles, Characters that are more Complex and deliver more layers... The Evil is Symbolized by the Saboteur, a Terrorist that plants a Pipe Bomb at a neuralgic and very Important place to maximize his damage... In Contrary to stereotypical belief of the Evil Thug Guys that come at you swinging a Baseball Bat and Grunting a lot, his actions are very planned, a Calculating Evil that is Intelligent... His Posture and Frame it rather Fragile, yet very Dynamic and Quick... A Chaotic Rune shows the Spot where his Heart was tainted by the Chaos...
His Opponent is a Redemptionist that sports a Huuumongeous Eviscerator... He is obsessed with the idea of purging the Unclean, the Bad and the Ugly with any means possible... The fact that he doesn´t even bother to wear any proper Armor shows that he would immediately sacrifice his Life in order to Fight Evil... His Head itself is on Fire, symbolically showing his Hot Temper and reckless and fierce Spirit... I strongly doubt that you can think straight if you wear a Campfire on your Head, but well, who am I to judge...:)... Maybe he is Repenting for some kind of Sin he has committed in his earlier life, unable to Forget or Forgive himself or anyone else he sees that way... That´s why he jumps into the Fight head on from Above, trying hard to eventually find his inner Peace that Day...
The Scene portraits the very Moment after the Sabotage has been discovered, right before the Two Characters clash... Both Miniatures are more or less simple conversions from Forge World and Warhammer Fantasy Parts, the rest is Scratched... The Palette of the Saboteur is Cold while it is Warm on the Redemptionist (Cold, Blue Heart Vs. Hot, Yellow Flames from the Head is a better Title anyways...:D...)...
Looking back at this I feel as if I was on the right Path to do something true to what I want to Create, but Story and Scene wise I would like to change a lot of things... I think it would have been much better to paint the Light Contrast super exaggerated (going from Pitch Black and using just a handful of Light Sources like the Obvious Fire, the Blue Heart, the Lenses and maybe something more on the Base...)...The Truss the Redemptionist is jumping from is not a Great Solution, It would have been much better to Work on a more Tense Pose for Both Characters, too (could use a lot of Drawings... Much, much more Bended Postures, much more Stuff flying around, more abstract Elements...)... But all in all I am satisfied with the Result taking in to account the Year it was done...
So yes, hope you enjoy this Weeks Presentation...:)... Next Week we will drag that Old Hag out of her Cave again accompanied by some Wicked Tune, so please stay around...^_^...
Ah, and as always, This Project is FOR SALE... Please feel free to Contact us for more Information...
Cheeerio!
