Hellbeard Sculpting Odyssey

[Hellbeard]

Completed the warpunk gnome necromancer.

A fluffy description:

Demigods, immortal kings and extra-dimensional entities lead their forces against one another in a brutal war. The recent magic-industrial revolution sees a new scale of fighting: a war that spans the sphere with multitudes fighting and countless dead.

On the battlefields of this strange realm wizards are among the elite; the necromancers are never in short supply of ammunition. Wights flow out of deep and forgotten tombs deep beneath the ground. Skeletons burst out of the earth at the feet of the enemy. The slain, gruesome, rise again and strike their former allies. Ghoulish screams and deranged chatter follow this Mage. As the dead tear the flesh of foes, the fighting Gnomes and their allies cheer with fierce rage.

Love it!

 

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll start the next one shortly. There are some small fixes I'll like to do to this one that I've noticed first.

[Hellbeard]

Enhanced the knees. Added some mass to thorax.

and the space marines?

I'll get back to my sci fi infantry shortly. I'm taking a short breather working on another project. I'll start new figures soon enough.

Much better with the new enhancements. I love the detailing on his gear.

Thanks so much!

 

Here's an update from my sculpting.

I started 3 1:56 sculpts - a planetFaller commander, a Warpunk orc swordsman and a planetFaller hard suit "duckling".

I'll keep working with the PC putty for the time being. The duckling I'll make mostly out of Super Sculpey Firm, I think, because it has got a large volume.

Not sure how the planetFaller commander differentiates from the other ones except his pose. Maybe some communication looking gear or a deck or something.

The orc's design is having a prominent brow, recessed chin, enlarged jaw and mouth muscles and pointed bat like ears; he will also have long hair. I think some orcs can have facial hair as well. They can be painted green, though, later on, I suppose.

The duckling is basically a big armored box with feet to locomote (via haptic controls). He'll have a main gun, a machine gun and a big shield thing that can be moved around for additional protection. There'll be some other bits and pieces. You can see them later.

The left armature is the Hard Suit.

Check out this box I'm making. It's not miniature related but it might have some sculpting associated with it.

Nice putty and box making.

Thanks Josh.

 

An update regarding the sculpting of a 1:56 mil-fan/warpunk Orc.

[Goblyn]

i still wonder how you do that micro faces

[Hellbeard]

i still wonder how you do that micro faces

I simply sculpt them very small. :D

(and follow Gene's advice/secrets).

 

Sorry for the long delay. I was out of commission with a viral sickness of some sort.

Added flak jacket, hair, ears, pocketses. I think I might re-do the side lace thing because it's not so great.

 

The design of the Orc's appearance is more humanized or mellower than what you usually meet. I just like to tell a different aspect, I suppose. Orcs were originally made (according to Tolkien lore) in the image of Elves. I wanted maybe to show that a little also.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this one finishes out. Keep going.
