Owlbear miniature. Almost finished. I just need to cut his head off, then shore up the neck, for casting purposes.
I'm looking at launching the Kickstarter tomorrow!

Wow! Some great sculpts in here  :o
I almost certainly need a bear... and a tiger... and a bull you say? And a boar?

The Kickstarter is now live. Hope to get all these sculpts into production, with some more stretch goals on their way!

They look well sculpted, but I fear I'd be turned off by the lack of exaggerated detail/undercuts.  As they stand now, I feel that when cast the detail would fade very heavily.  It just doesn't look like the details are deep enough or prominent enough to pick up paint from dry-brushing etc, particularly after transitioning to actual metal/resin.

It may be that the photos don't show the depth of detail too clearly, but I'm happy with the sculpts and confident the right level of detail will come across in the casts.
The tiger and shark are relatively smooth by design, so some freehand painting won't be interrupted by deep scores etc. The shark has lots of scars and scrapes, becoming of a real brawler, I'll get some better pictures to show this.

The bear and werewolf look like must buys. I love the shark too. If I had any sort of underwater setting or island setting (pirates) I wouldn't be able to resist it. I hope the owl bear gets unlocked too.

Thank you. I've got more sculpts on the way to join the others. More Highland cows, orangutan, Sasquatch and maybe something a bit different.

You've done another fantastic job on that, not just the technical stuff, but you have that gift of grabbing the feel of a creature and making it look like you've captured a natural moment in its life.

I once thought of converting a minotaur into a highland cattle stylie beast for a Caledonian themed Bloodbowl team. That would be an interesting project for you!
