Hellbeard Sculpting Odyssey

Wow, they're both coming along very nicely! His right hand and the gun are both totally spot-on, nicely done! The bat is looking more and more awesome as well, I'm loving that fur texture. :)

 

Huzzah!

--OneBoot :D

Thanks. I tried a slightly different technique inspired by pinning some miniatures. I also made good use of the new calipers to get things sorted. Such a brilliant little tool, that.

I wish I'd progress faster to be honest. On the other hand I suppose that as long as I persevere and try to do even a little bit when I get the chance that's something I should appreciate. I get impatient sometimes.

 

 

Yeah the bat is really starting to come together!

 

The primed guys on the right are Dreadball? Who are the guys on the left?

Thank you. The guys on the right are Dreadball and the guys on the left are Infinity. The sculpts are amazing good. I'm certain they're like me at 1:56 scale and we match up rather well in proportions, my guys and theirs (infinity's are several leagues better but that's neither here nor there). The head, though, gives a stark contrast. My heads are huge in comparison. It strengthens my earlier idea that I should do some practice heads after this.

Hi. I've been taking a breather from sculpting. Now I'm starting up again, slowly. I'm doing work on the dire bat and some head sculpts for practice.

[Malgus]

very nice

[Hellbeard]

Thank you. Here's another head sculpt for practice in 1:56 scale.

Another head sculpt practice. 1:56 scale. 

This one is with a slightly different technique, it’s very rough as I’m still finding my footing but more true to scale. Maybe a little bit on the small side. Approximately 4mm tall.

I swear I just saw one of those heads blink. Very lifelike and unique!

I swear I just saw one of those heads blink. Very lifelike and unique! 

 

Thanks! They don't blink but they do talk to me and tell which people from my friends and relatives have been replaced by aliens.

looking really good man.  I'm getting a Doctor Who vibe from them.

[Dontfear]

I love how expressive your human faces are.

[smokingwreckage]

Damn! Fantastic little faces! You're going from strength to strength!

[Hellbeard]

Thanks guys. I appreciate your compliments. 

 

Here's another head. A bid large it came out.

[Hellbeard]

Here's another:

 

 

 

 

[Slendertroll]

Ha! These guys are great! Very unique and distinct characters.

[smokingwreckage]

The style is quirky (in the good way) and there's a hint of classic political caricatures. I really, really like these faces!

[Hellbeard]

Thanks guys. I think I might get some figures cast in the next couple of months or so. Any suggestions on what you might like to see? 

 

Another couple of heads. One is oversized and the other is true to 1:56 scale. Also progress on the body/figure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and this in super sculpey with paint and effects:
