Hi all,
Here is pictures for my latest posse, Church of Dagon.
The initial miniature is a goblin from GW (Lord of Ring).
Hope u like it
-sorry for my bad english, i'm french.

Petitgars that’s an excellent conversion, looks spot on to your chosen source. I do like the Draculas Americas settings and miniatures - you definitely captured the right feel with your work.

That conversion worked really well, I like it a lot! That set of goblins has lots of potential for use outside he LotR game - I use mine for ghouls and mutants far more often than for LotR.
-
Great first post, please keep adding your work as you go.
That is a wonderful conversion, if you'd not posted the original appearance I would have thought it was the actual model.
-
I would like to see a better photo. You are doing yourself a disservice there.

=>I don't play LotR, but i have some goblins for various purposes too ^^
Aethelflaeda was framed : what an ugly photo
Sorry, i'm not good for that. I try to improve.
Second one (was the first !), the Dagon priest's
(Arms from Frostgrave wizards, body unknown, head from revenant (from the Dark confederates).
I'm more happy with the rest. I'm currently working on the Dagon emissarie (the lady with tentacles ^^)
-
Very nice priest kitbash. The photo is a bit better but i think simply using a bit more light would help.
-
The first "normal cultist" (blurry, sorry). It's a LotR goblin, add a hat, pants, shirt sleeves and go !
-
And the WIP (lady with tentacles, based on a Maow Miniatures (dress a kitty sculpting contest : http://www.maow-miniatures.fr/Dress%20a%20Kitty%20contest%202012.htm)
Cut the head, the arms, the torso (and reposition).

Really great models Petitgars, I admire your dedication to sculpting and converting. Next time your Greenstuff runs out consider getting yourself some Procreate putty. It’s a similar two part putty in grey but is much easier to use and holds sharp edges very well (you can also carve and sand it easily once dry).
I like the goblin wearing his/her Sunday best, simple yet totally changes the model (I keep meaning to pick some of those LotR goblins)
Keep up the good work,

Thanks a lot for your kindness and the advices. It 's not Greenstuff (hate that). Some of old milliput (the cheaper). I will look after procreate sculpt on my local seller.
(I saw you use 15 mm miniatures : i'm impressed. I use sometimes 20 mm miniatures (Zveda and Italieri), for a excellent game nammed Congo)... But 15 mm ! :o
-
That tentacle lady is going to look great.
-
Thanks, Spinal Tap. Here she is !
-
Dude, get some lights!
-
That’s great work Petitgars! Especially considering you’ve sculpted it in milliput (which is not easy) - she looks properly creepy and threatening.

Thanks Andrew,
And sorry for metalsmith. I use a lightbox (and an old telephone)...
There are the last one for a moment (my social life come back).
-
The light box is doing you poorly, as your fill or ambient light is too weak and thus all your images look flat and gray. Use basic three point lighting (and you really don’t have to have even three sources often just a good key light) and even an old phone camera will give you good results.
Your nice figures deserve good photos!
-
Thanks, i will try. Have a good night.

There are plenty of easy fixes for photo ing figs in the photography section here. 20 minutes study and you’ll look like a pro!
