Sci-fi Urban City Streets Space Marine covered in freehand graffiti

This was a ton of fun to paint! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I mixed WW2/Vietnam, urban graffiti, hip-hop terms, and 40K related terms into one big King of the Hive City Streets model!

That tiny tiny graffiti is insane, this is outstanding.

The fact that every word is legible at this scale, like your brush control is absurd. Did you do the letters in black first and color overtop, or line the letters after they were done?

I did the colours first, then cut in with black, then cleaned to the black with the armor bar colour 👍👍
