Mike the scribe

Despite the lack of updates over here, I'm still a busy bee :). Well, most of the time I'm just changing diapers or rocking the little Suberling, but when not doing that, I'm trying to give shape to too many a few projects.

What I can show today is another Otherworld conversion. While wandering through their web I met this mini:

Pic shamelessly stolen

That face immediately reminded me this other scribe:

 

You know, the guy who wrote the Quixote and stuff

 

 Sooo, it all took its place in my mind. The conversion was quite self-explanatory:

 

No way I could sculpt the ruff

No, I don't believe in ebooks, you brat

 

Please let me introduce Mike Zerbantz, scribe and novelist. Quite a life indeed. After being declared a fugitive on his homeworld (apparently he severely injured someone relevant in a duel), he enlisted so he could flee from home. Being part of a Navy landing party on board of the Frigate Iron Marchioness, during the battle of LePanth he got badly injured on his left arm, which had to be replaced with augmetics.
After the victorious campaign, when the fleet was going back to their docks, Zerbantz's convoy was attacked by Eldar pirates and he was taken prisoner. His life in captivity was pretty unbearable. For five endless years he was tortured an tried to escape, until he was finally rescued by the Ultramarines Chapter on a memorable raid.
Finally settled on Imperial soil, he found himself totally ruined and got himself into some schemings on the edge of law to survive, while at the same time he begun his writer career based on his experiences.
Sometimes employed by Administratum or local authorities as hired workforce to help with accounting or logistics, he's lately been seen at Besenval, researching for his latest novel, something about a guy who apparently goes nuts and believes himself to be a Space Marine or something and begins his own crusade through the stars.

You would also look grumpy if you had lived what I lived, son

My bionic arm squeaks a little today

Well, not much else to say really, this was a mini mainly just for fun, I couldn't resist, hehe.
I'm currently working on some quite different stuff, but I'd like to finish something before I dare to show pics, or at least I'd like to have some real progress to show. Be patient, my friends, ye shall be rewarded...
