Banner tied to the lance was intentionally left free of any heraldry designs |
Although the bluish grey headband and horse reins which accompanied the predominantly yellow colour scheme are not officially present in House Clegane colours, I added them in because I felt that they made the yellow stand out more (in a complementary colours kind of way). The overall colour scheme for my version of Ser Gregor Clegane is largely inspired by X-Men of the Marvel universe.
Lance was set an a 45 degree angle to add some dynamism to the miniature |

Boar with a knife in its back was coincidentally rather symbolic of the king's passing |

House Clegane heraldry revisited
Differing slightly from my freehand heraldry paintings on the warhorse, the House Clegane symbol on the shield was based on a particular scene from the Game of Thrones TV series. This necessitated a more detailed painting of the heraldry in two colours - black and grey - with the latter used to finely paint the eye, eyebrow and muscle definitions of the hound.

Four step process on painting the House Clegane shield heraldry |
As shown in the photo montage above, the House Clegane shield heraldry was painted in a simple four-step process detailed below:
1) Rough sketch using a pencil
2) Area blocked out using grey paint
3) Area filled in using black paint
4) Eye, eyebrow and muscle definition done using grey paint

Thanks for checking out the latest work on my Game of Thrones miniature painting project. More miniatures are in the works for this project, including a bigger version of Ser Gregor, so stay tuned!

Thanks Phil. You are much too kind. ^_^ I am slowly getting better at painting smoother transitions but need more patience to take it to the next level.
DeleteCongrats! You certainly have steady hands!
ReplyDeleteActually my hands are shaky. The trick is to steady your hands by anchoring your elbows and not holding your breath when painting small details.
Deletegood job man! the yellow is vibrant and the freehand is awesome!
