The new YakTribe gaming site is finished and using my logo design to boot! YakTribe is a fan site devoted to long-lost favorite games published by Games Workshop (Necromunda and Mordheim and GorkaMorka soon). It’s very well done so if you have an interest in this sort of thing I recommend it.<\/p>\n

The brief was to create a logo of a yak head and I recalled seeing an ancient Citadel Miniatures catalogue which had a couple of science-fiction versions of a minotaur. They had guns for horns so I figured this could be a special pit-fighter on Necromunda; a mutant abhuman cyborg! I believe they were sculpted by the talented Nick Bibby (they looked like modified Nick Bibby minotaurs.) I’ve tracked them down to here:

This is the progression of my picture in Painter:
\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the final image:

And the YakTribe website can be found here:
\n http:\/\/gaming.yaktribe.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

And also I contributed some other images for Ash Wastes Nomads and their badge.

With the Ash Wastes Nomad design I was both homaging John Blanche’s original intricate Confrontation drawing ( http:\/\/gothicpunk.tumblr.com\/image\/8512253130″<\/a>) whilst also respecting the newer versions produced for Necromunda and adding some extra ideas on top!<\/p>\n
