1:1 Bram Stoker Dracula - Wolf Creature

#1 Post by 3Demonic »

Greetings everyone...Long time, no post! It's been a tough few months for my country, but hopefully things will settle down going forward.

Unfortunately, these events have impacted us quite badly and left many with a general sense of malaise. I honestly had no desire to paint anything for quite some time and was seriously thinking of just abandoning the hobby altogether. Every time I forced myself to pick up the AB, it just didn't feel "right".

2 weeks ago, I slowly started to feel the itch to paint again and gradually started to get back to work. The two things that helped me were my kids nagging , asking me why I wasn't painting my "scarey stuff anymore?" :lol: and the Clubhouse, with all the amazing and inspiring work that you guys were doing. Although I haven't posted any feedback recently, my admiration and appreciation of all your work never ceased and kept the fire alive. So THANK YOU!

I recently and FINALLY finished painting, and in the final stages of putting together, a life-sized Christopher Lee Dracula... I hope to post that soon!

In the meantime, here's something I finished last year. It was supposed to be an article in KB Magazine, but given the situation with there, I guess it's time to show the finished work here...Wonderfully sculpted by Jake Anderson (Deity Creations), here's a 1:1 scale version of the Wolf creature from Bram Stoker's Dracula!

Thanks for looking.

Simply stunning work. Hang in there, the whole world seems to be doing things we don't want it to do, but stay with your constants, your family and your airbrush.

Welcome back and please don't stop painting. I know your country has some problems (my son was there in the middle of some it) but this bust simply blows me away. It is stunning. Great work!!!

Awesome to see you back with such a cool piece! It's a tough time of change and hopefully things will settle and move forward to the mutual benefit all in your homeland. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Also can't wait to see that amazing Christopher Lee!

I hope things get better soon. It's a scary world we live in when you never know what you can wake up to.

On the other hand, your work never ceases to amaze and inspire me. I hope you don't stop any time soon.

I'm glad you didn't give up as I've always been a huge fan of your work. In fact, your paintups are what got me interested in painting monsters in the first place.

Love the Wolf Creature! One of your best works!

Hi Ali

In my opinion you have hands down are one of the best painters in the hobby. Your work is always so detailed and never appears rushed or sloughed over. I sense you take your time and really push yourself with your work and i'm glad to see you are showing it off again. I'm sure things will work out in the end with what you have going on, just remember your pals here at the Clubhouse are always glad to here from you and admire your work.

Its a box of plastic if it sits in your closet. Its only a work of art if you build and paint it! Get busy my friends!
