Hey everybody.
The idea for the build is that the ground tunneling Trygon has burst to the surface surprising some future type soldiers and a conflict begins.
I was going to do a larger creature kit I have that I am dying to do,but I’m waiting until we move again,as the kit is really big and a little breakable so I chose the Trygon.
The kit is a Tyranid Trygon multi-part resin model. (140mm/5.5 inches +) in length. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Tyranids/TYRANID-TRYGON.html

Here's my creature sheet attempting to create an original Tyranid color scheme.Surprisingly hard to create a new original color type.
I don't play the games,so after looking at some out there I found a lot of paint schemes already sort of "done to death".
I'll be using all mediums, like airbrush,hand paint, oils,pigments,etc.and I'll be trying to complete a base/dio.
I'm not married to any of these yet so I may change my ideas, but feel free to tell me one you like best.

All crits,questions,and comments welcome! Monster action!

By the way "FilmMkr" I love your concept work! Did you paint that? If so, I'm way jealous of your DPaint skills.

I like the scheme in the lower right...

The Trygon is a great kit, it's a lot of fun, building and painting him.

Maybe i have some inspiration for you, i painted a trygon short time ago:

Thanks. That's a really nice paint up! I like it a lot. Love the hint of water/mud! Did you do saliva somehow?Where did you get the tiny skulls ? I have been looking for a bunch of tiny skulls like that forever! Your kit is different a bit. I think it's the games workshop one ?I'm using the Forge World one. I actually really like what you've done with this,it's similar to what I'm going for but I'm not so big on the standard carapace scheme.The splinter like stripes on the carapace are what I'm trying to steer clear of. I did that on the last Carnifex I did. I like the color on the whole body instead of trying to pick out the bone like parts too.I was thinking about that too. Now that I see it, I like it. Really awesome work.
Cheers.

I agree with Picster on the final scheme at the bottom right.  As far as the model posted... Awesome!  I live the skulls, the blood on the teeth/fangs, the colors, the water... just awesome.  Looks like someone walked in on it in it's subterranean cavern lair.

picster: great build! Makes me like the design now where before I was indifferent. It's got a Giger feel (which I love), but something seems offishly repellent. I think it's the hard angles of the "armor".

Graile: I like the first three schemes as it looks more complex to pull off.

I'm a fan of 2nd on on the right on the bottom row.

Starting to add some shading. I'll do this occlusion fake,then start building the creature with the base to assure that there will be good interaction with the surroundings when done.. hopefully  Big Grin  Larger and other images here as usual. http://animoceans.com/?page_id=1106

Hey modelers!

So it appears the CF contest is now coming to a close. DAMN that went fast! I was really into finishing something for this,but as a couple of you know,I was hit with a giant s*#tslide of work and unforeseen "challenges" lately(to be way more polite than I am when cursing and smashing trying to get everything back on track)DOH!
Unfortunately my entry had to suffer and it doesn't look like I will finish.
I had to try to do sOMething to show,so for the last 2 days I tried to make some time. I was able to get a base color started and I just did a rough "stand in" temp pose to illustrate how it will sort of come together. Just wish I could have made the deadline,but you gotta rock with the punches you know? Big Grin 

As usual, there's a few more pics a little bigger at http://animoceans.com/?page_id=1106
Comments always welcome,would love to do more contests sometime,Thanks Michael!
and congrats to everybody!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the comments! I'm glad you like the mottling. I'm trying something new there. It should get pretty deep if it works correctly.
The dio may have a couple little detail surprises too, I haven't had a chance to add the "story" portion yet.
Thanks again.I'm always so in awe of your projects, so I love hearing what you think. 
Cheers guys,more comments and crits always welcome!
