Here it is! The sons of Russ would be proud! For scale I had a shot taken of me standing next to it. And look what is coming next! I was a busy beaver. :)
Looks like you misaligned the diamond at the bottom and didn't fill it in between the fingers on the right claw. But then I can't produce anything even close to this level of quality, so I should just shut my mouth before I stick my foot in it.
Hogs of War! Lets talk. :) And Darth Yoda. I might be a little misaligned at the bottom, but the right hand fingers are intentionally not filled in. It actually looked a little funny with two little spots of red there between the fingers. As for the bottom, you don't actually see the bottom point of the diamond on the real banner. But I have to say, this was pretty damn close for HAND PAINTED! This is not a laser print reproduction. :)
Nope, never got em translated. I really only cared for the sake of having to hand paint them all. If they didnt mean any thing I was going to just fudge them. But I instead spent the time needed to eyeball them all perfectly. All those letters were painted on the first run! No small feat to be sure. I did not draw them out with a pencil first. :)
That is freaking awesome!
ReplyDeleteWicked indeed. I'm beginning to think we need a hogs of war banner - jawa style.

ReplyDeleteThat banner is made of pure win!!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever find out what the runes across the top stood for/meant/spelled/invoked? :)

ReplyDeleteI'm inspired. I'll start smaller, but I love these banners.
ReplyDeleteHey Jawa, love the banner. The Space Pup in my is howling at it.
ReplyDeleteOn a completely different not, do you have a contact email? For Q&As?
jawaballs at hotmail of course!
ReplyDeleteThat makes way too much sense.
ReplyDeleteI love my banner and I can't wait to get it! You did an absolutely outstanding job there, Jawa! Can't thank you enough.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, great stuff Jawa
ReplyDeleteOh your welcome. Make sure you have a tall enough ceiling to display it!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your banner work, very cool way to show your army pride
ReplyDeleteThat is one fine looking banner! Something any wolf lord would be proud to have carried into battle!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is ever in Brisbane Australia, go Check out the GW Store in Mt. Gravatt.
ReplyDeleteKnown locally as "The Fang" it boasts the exact banner as well as all 12 Great Company Seals.
Its the largest GW store in the Southern Hemisphere and has 17 6'x4' tables and 6 4'x4' tables.
Now THAT was a shameless plug! But yes, go check out that store. I love seeing peeps getting themselves into local stores.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. Would make any space puppy proud.
