The drawing of Imettäjä is one step closer to being finished. I inked her and also rendered a detailed background for her to bring some life to her surroundings. The next step is to paint her with acrylics and inks.
My plan is to make an art piece such like this for every character in my Pilgrym-posse. An ambitious vision, but manageable, I think.
IRON SLEET 
I’m at a loss for words..
By the time we get to the game these characters will have reached cult status, both in the 40k universe and our own!

A great idea to have accompanying artwork, and a fantastic piece of art it is too. Can’t wait to see the figure.
What would be interesting at the end of the whole project, is to compile not only the documentation of the actual game and narratives, but also everyone’s supplemental materials, sketches, photos, and WIP-notes into some kind of compendium that shows the entire process from start to finish. Sort of a masterclass supplement on how to do narratively structured games of this sort, whether in, or out, of the Inquisiverse.

Thanks Odie! In the end this blog should become one such thing you just described; a place that will hold all those things you mentioned, in one place, to study and get inspiration. But the journey there is the prize, because you’ll be able to follow things forming up relatively real-time.

She is stunning Kari. I am childishly excited about your group of models and their respective portraits. BRAVO!!!

Thank you very much, Migs! It’s painstakingly slow to build each character this way, from the idea to the drawing, building the miniature based on the art and finally painting the piece with patience and relish. Takes ages to finish one miniature, but like with my Inquisitor posse, I find it very satisfying and inspiring path to take.

Fantastic vision Kari.
What I really like about the portrait is that is looks as it you have been quite realistic in regards to making the model – the details, the pose the masses – all looks like it could very well be turned into a miniature. Quite the concept drawing – using BOTH imagery and bits knowledge. And at the same time you put her into a epic scale landscape that suggests a bigger scheme and background. Really excited about this character.

Thank you, JRN! Like in my previous “concept art -> miniature” projects, the final miniature may be tied to the concept very loosely. But basically my aim is to get as close as possible to the idea I’ve first had, in both the concept and the miniature. The most of the bits should be out there – and if they ain’t, I have to sculpt them…
