Asterix and the "vlaai"!

Posted by Peter on 12 Jun 2022, 19:49

It could have been the title of a new Asterix adventure, but it isn't. It just the contribution I made for the multiple figures painting competition at the FIGZ meeting, of which the pictures can be seen in my previous post.

This is something that started years ago, and now it is a tradition at the meeting that I bring "Limburgse vlaai" as a tractation to the organisation and contributors of the meeting. the "vlaaien" are made of green stuff by my good friend Dirk in 2015 but he couldn't paint them in time so he gave them to me. Finally this year I found the right inspiration to do something with them and with the bubble gum Asterix figures I've been given by my other great friend Remco, I had the perfect combination. And the result can be seen here. Pity enough no prize with this work but it was fun doing it. I hope you like it to!

Nicely painted figures. I think the groundwork captures a very suitable cartoony look with those colorful flowers.

I had to wait until after coffeebreak before I could comment, you made me too hungry! Great work and you should definitely gotten some special price! Or at least a t-shirt that says Vlaai-man.
