Blood Bowl Chaos Chosen - The Ungraceful

I'm determined to paint, so here are some more of the Lost & Damned beastmen - continuing the darker theme presented HERE at first.

Those guys turned out much more colorful than I anticipated. The snailmen were supposed to have a realistic tone to their shell and somewhat more colorful skin to offset that and create some contrast, but now I think they would work well with black (or generally much darker) skintone too. The other one, the birdman, was inspired by the Skeksis from Dark Crystal and the most recognizable of them, the Chamberlain, had blueish-purple skin, so I went with that to make the connection a bit more recognizable. This also serves as a contrast to more realistically-painted arms that grow out of his hand-sleeves. I hope those two will make the whole team look even less coherent and weird - and I won't have to regret not going full grimdark on them.

The WIPs for both of them can be found HERE.


For the creatures that emerge from the Chaos Wastes, it’s not uncommon for two or more souls to inhabit one body. For Bloodbowl, this naturally means more players for the price of one - which would work really well, if it wasn’t Chaos. Those ‘Ungraceful’ are like writing something with a quill held by many people - their movements are shaky, unsure, forced. It may be several creatures forced into one armor, many body parts growing out of a central ‘torso’ or a body with three different ‘fronts’ and no ‘back’. They may prove themselves useful from time to time, but their life is a constant struggle between the constituent parts of the unfortunate, cursed creature.

    1. A mi się czasem wydaje, że malowanie nie nadąża za rzeźbą, tak więc cieszę się, że podoba się też i efekt końcowy ;P
