Why I named this 'Primitivo!' is not hard to explain.
Sometimes I like to drink a glass of red wine and there is one special grape sort that I like most.
The vine is called Primitivo and I felt it fits very well to one of my latest finished figures.
I have done the figure for the Russian Alternative Contest and really enjoyed creating the little scene. I will have an article about "masterclass snow" ready soon, done during this and some other projects. This will be the 3rd artcile about snow and I think this topic is done then :D
The base was build from parts of Forged Monkey's upcoming release - pssttt!! - and a lot of scratchbuild. In fact I am little bit dissapointed in spending so much time on the base as in the end I learned from a judge's commentary in a forum that all basing won't count in the judging to keep it fair. I am ok with that, would loved to know that before - I just knew that a 5x5 cm base is allowed and that is exactly what I did. Next time knowing this before the work is done would surely help a lot of people spending too much time on a base, if only the Russian Alternative Figure will be judged. As there were are so many great entries I could cry for those cool bases not to be in the contest.
Sadly Raffa and I did forget to take a photo through the door. We did on the first photo session but all those where way to bright as we had problems with the snow to take good shots of. Now on the second go we just failed and forgot about it :D
The vase you can find in the upper area are from Pardulon.
The table consists of a coin from "The Witcher 2 - Special Edition" as far as I can remember.
Hope you like it?
Let me know what you think or just say "Banana Forever!" :D
Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes

Hi there, love this scene. The colours are great and I think the base is awesome. So much detail and despite it not being included in the judging, it was still well worth the effort :)
...BANANA FOREVER!!
lovely base ;-)...I cant help it, the whole scenery reminds of SKYRIM....luv that game and your new piece of art...;-)
Banana forever!
No, really, when I looked at the pictures from the contest, I knew this one was yours. Your pieces have such a distinctive look to them, which is recognisable.
The work and time you invested into this piece is clearly not wasted as it looks really great. you can nearly feel the grim, dark and cold winter.
Hi,
I would be very interrested to know how you build the scenery... which material used... Do you have any info on this or a tuto to be prepared..
I would love to be able to do such fantastic work
well done !!!
Hiho Master Kong,
this is awesome! Really a great work of yours. When I saw it I also knew that this one is your entry... ok, easys for me as I held it in hand during my private practice... hehe..
I´m also back at brushes (in parallel with some wedding preparations) and write you an email some time in future. In advance congratulation to your studio and the succesful moving... keep on going!
Best regards
Thorsten
It was my favourite right from the start! I didn't know it was your work, so I was totally free to judge. I love the story behind it. Even better that a good, deep red wine gave the inspiration. Congratulations to that development. I don't care about the Jury rules, that miniature rocks. So rock on ;)
Thanks a lot for all your nice comments about this scene. I am truely happy that you like it.
About the base seize:
Somehow I misinterpreted the comment by the judge. I was explained that some of the entries have been way too big in its seize. Mine was fine for the 5x5.
@Fig78
I will show you soon in Paris. Sorry, I don't have an article about the base build up ready :/
@Thorsten
Thanks mate!
@Elric
Muchas Gracias! When do I see you again??
