Crusoe the Painter Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 RAWR! Not enough wemics on the market! My wemic is nearly done. Gonna tweak the front paws a lil more, and add some more tribal regalia, but otherwise the anatomy is finished! The armature was made from fine twisted wire, and built up using humans and lions for references. I love how the pose came out. The snarl, the rearing, it's all pretty strong. He has a few other weapons as well, including a masai style spear, a knobkerrie (african war club), and a congolese influenced war axe. I need to sculpt some hands on those, and cut the model up for casting. I'm thinking of producing a tortoise shell shield as well. But he's done! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Looking lovely. While you're adding the last details might I just suggest some claws for the lion paws to. Would make him look even more as if he's attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastman Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Looks cool. Claws might be cool but with his arms out like that, exposing his soft underbelly, I don't think he's attacking but rather rejoicing. Or stretching to get his belly scratched. Thundercats HOOOOOOO! P.S. What is that base-holding device he's on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decado Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I like your version more then any other I have seen. I would like to suggest maybe more of a mane on his back. The idea of different weapon options is a good one and I like the tortoise shell shield idea. Good luck getting it produced, I definately want one.

Crusoe the Painter Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Think of it as more than a challenge, or maybe he's starting a leap. ;) The base is a handclamp/vise from micromark http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?M...roduct&ID=21129 As I said, he's almost done, I'll be tweaking the paws some. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The forearms seem a little long to me.. And the hands just a scosh big.. I'd like to see a little more muscle on the lions haunches too.. Other than those nitpicky things I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe the Painter Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 More photos in the above gallery. I keep checking his proportions. I think his arms look long because with his front legs raised it's hard to judge tge size of his lower body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertickles Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Looks great! I've never seen one of these creatures in this kinda pose, very fresh! Great Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe the Painter Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Then I need to find a caster. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Page Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 That's just awesome. I want one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe the Painter Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 He is a lil skinny, even for a young lion. So I've deepened the chest just a tad. I'll probably thicken the forelegs a bit more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
