40th Anniversary Game of Armored Combat Box (Patreon)

Some of you have already seen this art in CGL posts, but maybe not a clear image like this. The box cover for this year's A Game of Armored Combat box.

Way back when the first GoAC box was being put together I was going to be assigned the cover for that, but just getting the miniatures done became such a task that the assignment was shifted to Marco Mazzoni. That somewhat became the tale for all boxes since.
The composition you see here isn't too far from what my initial box idea was, with an Awesome front and center. I may be forgetting, but I believe the initial box contents didn't feature an Awesome, but a certain lawsuit road bump came along and shuffled things. The Catapult was also added in this way.

With time being crunched for these two 40th anniversary boxes, the idea popped up to make them both part of a single illustration. Luckily the already finished BB Griffin side was set up in a way to work with this. This removed me having to come up with a second environment idea. If there was enough time I may have gone with a city setting, though I'm also a fan of rolling wilderness when time saving is needed.
Should be fun to be able to pop both boxes on a shelf beside each other.

I'm glad I was able to get the Awesome and a Catapult onto a cover. I don't think they get enough love in the art for how often they're deployed on the table.

Anyone going to paint some minis up in this scheme? Plain green is the canon standard, but I pushed as hard as I could to include checkers and stripes.
