 Crumbreaper or Steve has started to sculpt some pieces and here is the first offering.

 I really like this and was wondering what you lot thought.

Looks a little like the old RT Greater demon of nurgle, what with the normal mouth with tentacles coming out of it.

Hi people, thanks for the feedback, this is my first proper attempt at sculpting
having only ever made alterations to existing miniatures for my 40K stuff before,
so I'm on a learning curve!

I took onboard the comment about the mouth and have resculpted it so that the
tentacles flow from the face rather than a mouth, should I add suckers to these
tentacles like I did with the head ones or leave "as is"?

I've also sculpted up a test piece for textures, shapes and forms for how the rest of the
scenic piece might look and feel, fired the Sculpey and got some pain on - the miniatures
are from Andy and I must stress they are in my usual "half done" look!!  lol

All feedback much appreciated and thanks to Andy for posting here as the feedback from here
and Frothers has really fired me up to keep going   8)

Would definitely buy one of those, would like it as a wall for a temple ideally in resin so I can distress it  :D

I think that you should leave the tentacles as they are

DOH!! Sorry - totally forgot - the tentacle head sculpt is about 90mm from the top of
the large triangle to the bottom of the smaller.

Over the moon with the feedback I've got to this and am fired up for more!

Cheers all, more pics when I get some work done,

Very decent stuff! I especially like the gibbly head.
