Hellbeard Sculpting Odyssey

Again, I love your faces. I'm glad to see this guy twisting through his torso; the underlying pose looks very natural and balanced. And you've got a proper looking butt on him, too!

Thank you! I was actually a little bit "meh" about the face but resolved to re-evaluate later because it's hard to appreciate one's own work. Thanks for the pose and butt comments as well, you see, after a while I too can learn :)

I love how your minis all have such a clear personality to them, particularly their faces. It makes me want to know their story, who they are, what their past is, and how they ended up where they are now. Love your work, and even though I've always been more of a fantasy type, I'd buy your minis just to paint up and display. :) They're just so expressive! :D

 

I'm excited to see where this next guy ends up!

 

Huzzah!

Thank you very much. That's the one of the best compliments I could hope for.

 

A little progress update, sculpt and paint WIPs

 

 

 

[Hellbeard]

Not sculpting but just to update you guys:

 

Finished the Klingon flagship (I think that's what it is).

 

 

 

Weathering and effects are a lot of fun.

Nice paint!

An update from me.

 

Sculpting- 1:56 planetFaller commander WIP

I had a hell of a time with the left hand. I wanted to give the character a pose as if he is giving orders or describing a combat situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painting FOW Open Fire! Germans. WIP.

update:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: P.S. thanks for the compliment Joshua! Lots have commented that it's too dark! I reply that it's in space. It's dark in space.

Love the pose. "They're over there, just behind that rise."

[Hellbeard]

Thank you, Joshua!

 

An update from me:

 

Started 3 new sculpts, hopefully to complete at least 2.

 

1:56 Starship crew:

 

 

 

 

 

1:56 planetFaller combat-drone operator/communications and 1:100 IDF (again).

 

 

Did some FOW work on the final 5 tanks from the Open Fire! box set. Seriously, that box set doesn't end. It's ridiculous. Want to give them a sort of "lived in" vibe.

Keep going man, looking good!! I'm busy painting my Warlord models. The game is so fun, I put models half painted on the board. Gets chaotic.

First thing is first I love your work I am just about to attempt my first real sculpt with GS and looking at your work gives me hope. One thing that I did see was that the trigger finger on your planetfaller comander was outside the triggerwell wich is good that is what they train you to do in the military but looking at the finger it seems to be very akward. I know that it is a bit late to be pointing that out since you finished. I love how balanced the sculpts are when you do them. Oh and a fun idea for the tanks is that in the us mil tankers sometimes make and attach racks to the exaust of their tanks so the can use the exaust to cook food.

Thank you Josh!

I see what you mean about the finger. Thanks for that. I might be able to improve it a little now.
