The Warhammer Nerd Gene runs deep in this family. My husband has it; my son has it; I have it… And only a true carrier of the gene could make a Halloween costume this cool out of card board.
Meet Commander Isis, Space Marine. Bow before the Emperor, or prepare to die in a very bloody fashion…
Isis, my seven year old son, loves to draw. He always has. And he sings under his breath while he does it. He could sit there singing and drawing all day, and be perfectly content. Yesterday he drew a Warhammer Space Marine (and a Borg from Star Trek… and some random chopped-off heads… and a beautiful picture of a pencil…) solely from his imagination. His ability to remember the fine details even days and weeks after seeing an image blows me away. His Space Marine (above left) has almost every detail! I have painted many of these miniatures for my husbands nerdy hobby in the past and the most detail I recall is the big shoulder pads and winged emblem thingy on the chest. I love how, not only is his Space Marine extremely detailed, but his arms have blown off in battle, and the blood is dripping accordingly. Haha! He is such a boy! In a few short years, if his interest persists (which I have a feeling it will, as the urge to draw seems to inherently course through his vanes), his drawings will surpass my own and his fathers (they already do in many ways), and he will be up there with the Games Workshop artists (like above right).
What a clever little boy :)
