Title: Maracas of Death!...... and friends
Post by: PhilH on November 14, 2017, 10:43:56 PM
Skeleton musician, he's a late addition to my Gallery Kickstarter. Also has a drum, but I prefer the maracas, seems like the undead actually have s pretty good time.

That is one splendid sculpt, Phil. I find myself wondering if he might be shoehorned into my Conan project as a dash of levity amidst the carnage, iron-thews and nameless horrors of the setting. (Loved your Greek ghost as well!) Keep up the great work!  :o

Thank you Daryl, that’d be great to see him amongst the bedlam of Conan, maracaring swith not a care in the world.
 More Skeletons just around the corner too 🙂

First of four skeleton archers. I've kept it them pretty plain, so they can fit into various styles of Undead forces.
They're late additions to my Gallery Kickstarter offerings.

Wow! Excellent sculpts! 8)

I feel as though the archer should have an empty quiver after running out of arrows and be standing on one leg, with the second leg in the bow ready to fire! ;)

I tend to dislike skeleton sculpts, but not yours. Great work!!!

That is genius. Certainly worth a conversion for a block of archers :D

Thank you for the kind comments too, very much appreciated. I'll make more :)

Very nice! Much more dynamic than most undead figures.

Thank you Fred. I do want my Undead to be competent fighters and maybe a credible threat, even to a seasoned warrior.

Third Skeleton archer. One more to make and the set will be complete. I really like making them, so I'll be adding more later.

I'd like that too. I'll make that a priority!

They're looking great. You do an excellent job on skulls - expressive, but believable. Looking forward to seeing more!

All the Undernourished Lads look SPLENDID, but the Fellow with the maracas is also WONDERFULLY imaginative. The need for a supporting mariachi band is there. OUTSTANDING STUFF!

Thank you guys, I’m going to make more soon, certainly more musicians. There are plenty of skeleton miniatures around, so more unusual character sculpts and oddities.

Here are the finished Skeletons....

These are great! I came for the maracas but stayed for the archers :)

I've been shopping around for some skeletal archers. You mentioned a kickstarter, is that live yet?

Yes. It's recently finished, but the archers are late additions. You can still get involved here. Look at the deals available for bigger pledges. If you pick one, I'll send a coupon code, then select your miniatures. It's due completion in February.
