A base for the Baron

Post by Fanboy »

I'm having a go at building a custom base for the Baron and his evil hordes (if 5 figures can be classed as a horde!) and am hoping to find a picture of a Kraken that I can use. I want to make an image that will look like the big green beastie is in the lab (as though in the development chamber sort of thing.) I know I'm not explaining myself very well - basically I want to do the same thing I did in the space force base (see the thread) but rather than a locker holding space suits I want a wall of Krakens.
I could use a photo and photoshop it (as I did with the space suits) but some artwork would be better. I've searched everywhere I can think of but haven't found what I'm looking for so any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

I've already checked it out -sadly it's the wrong angle. It has to be a 'full frontal' view.
Thanks for trying ;-)

I had a look too - comic front covers, datafiles and custom art included - no luck.

Could you take a full frontal photo of an actual kraken figure, then use one of those special effects found in photo-editing software that makes it look pencil drawn, and then superimpose a drawing (or again pencil-effected photo) of an empty chamber?

Here's a quick, rough go using cross-hatching at 10% to show you what I mean:

Something like that might look alright when the white is masked out and a chamber is layered over it.

I can take some better pics if you like? Its sat in semi abandoned barons base along with about 3000 other customs ive started and not finished yet...

Ive also got a cryo chamber from the extreme or savage line which would look nice with a kraken in?

Thanks guys but I've decided to go for a different option - I'm going to have a go at drawing it myself!
(I may be asking for help again when I realise my artwork is crap!)
I'll keep you posted ;-)
