Title: Velvets' Custom Cast Chibis
Post by: Velvet Mark on May 28, 2014, 10:28:02 PM
Hi there, I thought id just show these minis off that I sculpted, cast and painted for me son to play Super Dungeon Explore and a homebrew Galdiator style 1 on 1 and 3 on 3 game.

Ive already posted these on the Soda Pop Forums and Talk Fantasy Football but here they are for any who haven't seen them. Mainly a collection of 90's video game characters.

Once painted up they look just fine  ;)

I can instantly recognize the FF7 characters which is possibly my favorite game and the Castle Crashers knights.

I agree with Katsuhiko & jimbibbly; i.e., they are cute, but without being saccharine; AND the sculpting, painting et al is MOST IMPRESSIVE. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks very much for the kind words everyone, really appreciate it :)

Yeah FF7 is the best, played it to death when it came out. Same with Castle Crashers, me and the eldest have completed so many times to unlock the characters, well worth the xbox points :)

Very impressive given the entirety of the project  8) 8)

Thanks James! Ive only been doing the metal casting this year but really enjoy the process. Learned it all off Youtube and various forums lol. Really recommend it.

Cheers again folks!

Lovely work, Velvet Mark.  I hope that your son appreciates them.
Yeah he loves them, hes petitioning for 32mm Minecraft minis now...

Great work! Very impressive. What are you using to cast them?
Thanks mate. Theyre cast from lead free pewter, its got a higher melting point to lead but I can cast indoors without the wife kicking off over noxious fumes etc. One of the Mortal Kombat ninja has a Oven Bake clay head, It captured the detail really well (Id ran out of metal at the time )

Would kill to get hold of the final fantasy and castle crashers ones. Nice work.
The Castle Crasher Knight was part of Impact! miniatures last kickstarter as a cheeky stretch goal.  They should be cast in their Trollcast Resin and sold in their store later this year. (Their other Chibis are great too, check them out if you haven't already) Or feel free to PM me and I can cast any of these minis to order (I can mix and match the pieces too) The Bald lady green sculpt is a current WIP - she will have a choice of weapons when I get round to finishing her.

Couple more WIPs. Nearly finished them. Not had much chance to do any gaming, painting or sculpting - I blame the World Cup!

Hehe awesome! I wish they' release it on Xbox360 :'( I loved the blitzball mini game in it, where you had to talk to NPCs and sign them up for your team, and level them up in the game. X-2 was cool too.

Just shot you a PM:)

I thought they were due too but it fell through last minute for some reason  ??? its rather stupid as it would bring them a bit more support from both console gamers.

Pm replied to too  :)

Quick update. The resin casting is working out pretty well. There are some clear pros and cons with using resin over pewter, for now I think ill persevere with resin.

Harlequin Joker casting
(http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad10/velvet_mark/Chibi/753739072943034759_1022291667_zps794904b7.jpg) (http://s916.photobucket.com/user/velvet_mark/media/Chibi/753739072943034759_1022291667_zps794904b7.jpg.html)

Harlequin Joker painted up. I shall name her Velvet Bow

Size comparison with her ranger sister

And some shots of the Aayla Secura cast. Ive added blue dye to the resin mix as it seemed fitting! I gave her a black wash to see if there was any air bubbles (only one on her buckle :)  )
Been playing around with casting some bases too. The Light saber cast well but I decided to use metal for strength.

Haha cheers :) These are still on my bench. Need to add a tab to them and maybe thicken their tails for strength.

Wonderful project, great sculpting and painting all around  :-*

Thanks Pocoloco! Yeah im really enjoying sculpting these. As their features are abbreviated they're really forgiving to sculpt. Definitely recommend having a go!

Absolutly awesome. Wonderfull sculpting and amazing paintjobs.

Inspiring too. I've long desired to get into sculpting but the difficulty put me off.
This kind of stuff looks like I might be able to get something similar with some practice then work from there.
Not on the first try but this looks both achievable and cool.
Not that I'm saying:'well that looks easy.'
But I think I might just start sculpting some chibi at some point.

Yeah I definitely recommend it, chibis are pretty forgiving to sculpt as the whole style is abbreviated, so hands and feet are pretty much tapered points, head to body ratio of 1/3 or even 1/2. Give it a go and post some pics!

Ive managed to finish of some more custom casts.

Beefy castle crashers

Thanks! Id recommend the Super Dungeon Explore or Arcadia Quest boxed sets if you like the chibi stuff. Great value that works out around £1 per mini.

Will do! He will come with a both choices of an electric guitar or acoustic lute (to stop any Dylan-esque electric backlash a Stratocaster being used in a fantasy dungeon...)

Just in the process of making moulds for the elves, but Ill be casting him up soon - I really want to paint him!

50 pence Britannia - Had to get rid of the spear as it was too brittle. I think it would definitely be a brass rod job in the future.

Rather than injecting the resin in I used a split mould technique - cuts down the mould making time by half
(http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad10/velvet_mark/Chibi/850277934657311411_1022291667_zpsb95dc2c5.jpg) (http://s916.photobucket.com/user/velvet_mark/media/Chibi/850277934657311411_1022291667_zpsb95dc2c5.jpg.html)


Hi Velvet!

Very interesting!
Could you please explain better this "split mould technique"?

Thank you

Not Yet Carlos but its definitely on the cards. Ive actually revisited Aeris face so its a bit more inline with my more recent sculpts. I want to get Clould Vincent and Yuffie spot on, as they were my favorite characters:)

I keep forgetting to look here, Mark! Everything looks great, the painting especially so!

Thanks Andrew! I appreciate it mate:)

Love Britannia, those rosey cheeks are adorable.

Hehe thanks! Im pleased with the flesh tones on her - I was reading an article how Jen Haley paints her flesh tones, mixing greens and purples in to it. Whilst mine are nowhere near that level it was great to do more than my usual basecoat/wash/highlight.

The mini was born out of two miscast minis - a Kasumi and Chaos warrior. I was going to do her as a one off but thought she' be great cast up:)

When I have some spare cash, I'll have to shoot you another order, loving the elves!
Cheers WK! I want to do a mounted version compatable with Impact Minis' ponies. And a chibi cold one. And a witch king on a Chibi Dragon... lol:D

Hi Velvet!

Very interesting!

Marco

Hey Marco, yes rather than making one mould side, allowing to cure and making a second mould side. You put the mini into a space and fill it all with silcone. Once its cured you cut into it leaving 25% uncut at the bottom. As you can see in with the cast the resin is poured in and gravity does the rest. I tried it with the Beefy castle Crasher as its quite large mini. I cast without presure or vacuum, so the split gravity feed mould wouldnt work for smaller more delicate casts, but it worked well for that particular mini.


Ive currently caught a strong 15mm Flames of War bug, so Ive not got any new chibis to show you all yet. THere is a little goblin dude in Roman mail that I think is nearly there, dont think I posted him on here yet, just need to make the mould.

Its a good medium to try out, It sticks to armatures far better than sculpey and is lovely to sculpt with. The above sculpts were done in 1/2 hours. However its suffers the same issues as sculpey when Baked - It is extremently brittle around the thin areas such as hands and feet. You end up having to superglue bits back on as it breaks off.

I had a World of Warcraft chibi commission eariler this month which I used greenstuff for. Its slower to sculpt with but its durable, old faithful lol.

Thanks Bergil and Voivod (and thanks for the PM majorsmith:) )Ive not been the best forum'er of late, but Ive been cracking on with my little sculpts. Here are a few pics!

Started off doing a chocobo a few months back with the idea of making a simple racing game to play with my boys. Basic shape wip

some green stuff

A bit more :) Love greenstuff for its robustness, especially as I like to play around with poses.

First cast came out surprisingly well, did individual moulds for each piece so any miscasts do not generate a surplus of other pieces
