I have a large print of his masterful work hanging in my game room and seeing it everyday got me thinking about if I could recreate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Framed_480x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7290\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Framed_480x480.jpg 342w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Framed_480x480-198x278.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Framed_480x480-285x400.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back at the original, you can see Mr. Dutrait&#8217;s use of the actual miniatures is very realistic, it in line-art form.  There were some liberties taken with the pose of the giant (reversed from the actual miniature&#8217;s pose) and the profile headshot of the viking warrior (I don&#8217;t believe that exact helmet was used).  Finally, the boat isn&#8217;t the same kind of longboat form used in the game but they are all close enough that it was easy to photograph the poses for the compiled shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided not to recreate the Yggdrasil sunset as it would have to be pulled from stock photos or illustrated by hand and both options didn&#8217;t seem fitting. I almost took out the reversed giant and sea serpent as they looked a little tacked on in my shot but when I added the titling and taglines in Illustrator, it seemed to work out.  Putting things together gave me another interesting shot that I really loved so we&#8217;ll end there for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"781\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web-600x781.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7291\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web-600x781.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web-198x258.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web-307x400.jpg 307w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web-768x999.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Blood_Rage_Homebound_Web.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last Photo Friday focused on some art shots of Blood Rage miniatures and I hinted that there was both inspiration and purpose behind it.
