What better way to get back into painting again then to see your work featured on the Games Workshop Website. Last summer when the Ork Flyer was just released I jumped on it immediately and after two weeks of frantic painting I finished the model and posted it here on my blog and on Coolminiornot. (you can find lots more cool pics of my plane on that page)
Very soon after that I was contacted by GW staff and they asked if I had bigger and better pictures of my bomber. I was chuffed that they wanted to post my work on their site and mailed them the original pictures. I got a nice e-mail back and they asked me if I could explain how I painted it so I sent them another mail with all the information.
I was curious to know what they wanted to use the pictures for and they said they would probably feature my flyer in a White Dwarf Daily post. For the next few weeks I checked the site daily but no yellow flyer was to be seen...
Until yesterday when I was playing a game and my opponent said that he had seen the exact same plane on GW's website and so I stated digging back through the posts and what do you know...
They used my plane to promote the recently released 40k aerial Compendium, Death from the Skies...
It's cool to see your work featured on the GW website and it's the first time for me. I hope to get more stuff featured so I'm eager to get back to the desk and go the extra mile on my new projects.
Here's the link to the article on GW.com
And here's my Flyer with information.
Cheers,
