An Unexpected Commission

A month or so back (I think) I was chatting to a friend on Mastodon about looking to do some random free commissions to get some practice doing different kinds of things, this same motivation is what led to the custom Elf Dullist I did, and he had what seemed like a strange suggestion. I didn’t actually fully understand the nature of the mini he was after but it was a man, with the body of a large glow worm, wielding a chainsword, what made it interesting was that it was to honour an event organiser for blood bowl tournament called Thrudball with a custom coach miniature - so that was cool and I went ahead and had a great time doing it.

As it would turn out the mini was actually something the event organisers were looking to make available to everyone attending the tournament. I hadn’t really realised that at the start and felt bad I hadn’t put more work into the piece (though that’s absurd because actually I’m really pleased with how it came out), I am thrilled to see that it’s getting out there and the response was so positive. Honestly it was such a nice experience and Steven, the co-ordinator of the whole thing, was great to work with, and the mini was so out there that I was having so much fun the entire time sculpting it.

I hope I get a chance to work with them again, and really need to carve out a minute to get into Blood Bowl.
