Painting Angron for the Golden Demon Part 1: The Armor

War in Hell!

Apologies for the delay, there was a music fest happening all weekend down town and the sounds were bleeding in when I tried to record the voice over. But here we are! Still smoking along on other ...

WIP Orkorama!

Let slip the Snaggas of war. What started as a rectangle has grown into a fruitful oval. This was built up on Twitch and I still have some micro details to add, probably some grots as well.  2023-08-04 21:26:07 +0000 UTC View Post
