Inspiration is an annoying thing, it just strikes. Oooh a cassowary could be a fun thing to base the Apex Predator on and so I began to work in my head what that could look like given you know a T-Rex and a Cassowary look nothing alike but given they’re pretty much referring to locally as the closest modern day equilivent to the raptor.

The Cassowary

This helped me decide firstly on the skintones I wanted to use, I was going to stick with grey, dull and uninteresting quite deliberately as the flair and the excitement would all come from the decorations, the feathers the weapons etc etc Almost as if the W’adrhŭn was trying to compensate for the fact their creators had not ‘finished’ them.

So far things were going well, at this point I think I had stopped painting 3 times for the day only to pick it back up again and it would continue until 2am an entire day of hobby feeling like it was making up for a year of delays.

To some extent it feels silly to start with the Apex Predator but in my next post I will show you that I actually didn’t, I might have fibbed ever so slightly
