About the Project
Just recently started, what is probably one of the most challenging projects of my entire commission painting career - Hate: board game. The full Kickstarter set with extras is to be painted at level 5 "Witness Me!" which is a high end level for armies and collections that I provide. I was given full freedom of choice of the style, color scheme and thematic feel. In the end, for the time being, I will be working on a Board Game I adore, illustrated by my favorite artist and to be painted on a level I like to work with. What a time to be a commission painter!

Work in Progress - Test Batch
From the dystopian wasteland...
Illustrated by the talented Adrian Smith, the Hate has a unique, deep artistic theme. When planning the color scheme and the artistic direction for this project I wanted to keep the grimdark feel, but also add something distinctly ‘Scarhandpainting” on top. I decided to go with the flow, stick to my personal style and smooth things out a bit with additional airbrushed filters, such as purple for skin and dark brown/black for detail. To test the idea in practice I chose “The Mother Prophecy” set for so called “test batch”…
The tests resulted in a palette finalized with about three dozen colors with a few complimentary colors reserved to distinct particular Tribes from one another. I also chose to go with bases not following the style of the gaming board, as the project is supposed to look great in a special cabinet, rather than fit the paper components. The Test Batch results below:
If you like the project and would like to see more of it – stick around. I will be adding new entries as I go through the rest of the miniatures.
Cheers!
