Impressive.  Like the skin texture and expressions.  Concept reminds me a bit of this old Dreamblade freak (pardon the garish repaint).

It was a bit of a task, but I got him cast! this is the mould for the torso, A whopping KG of silicone.






Both parts came out great first time with only a couple of minor issues that I have now fixed - mostly just a bubbly patch in the foot that needed a bigger vent.


Here he is with some of Mammoths other miniatures - he measures about 80mm and dwarfs everthing else I've put out so far! He'll go up as a pre order in the next few days :)

Slapped a bit of paint on the giant - he's still WIP but i'm pleased with how he looks in colour. I should have him up on the shop in a few days.





I will say that my quite painterly (read - messy) approach to adding texture to minis is perhaps not that suited to a mini so covered in texture - I may cast up a second for myself to experiment with a more basic paintjob.

Looks great! And as the paintjob holds up in that sort of extreme close-up, I'd wager it looks spectacular on the table.

Cheers! :)


He's now up for order on the shop, and hopefully I can get my own one finished soon.

Been a bit busy to paint anything lately, But I have sculpted up some new stuff and got it cast in my bit of downtime -

My favourite is the walking giant fish, But people seem keen on the cultist body blanks - I originally sculpted those for myself but the response on instagram was that people would like them for their own conversions.







The mutated wizard is an old sculpt I found whilst unpacking, And I figured someone might have use for a sorcerer covered in eyes.





I've also added ome new sci fi stuff, but that's not for this thread :)

Weird synchronicity, I was working a fish with legs inspired by some medieval art myself over the weekend.  Maybe I'll just grab yours instead...

Something new!

I sculpted this last night, cast it today and got it on the site for sale this evening.

I wanted a real oldhammer look for my first dragon, But i also wanted him to be a bit of a chunky unit.
I sculpted this one in monster clay -  a lovely material ,but one I've never cast before so I'm really pleased that the casts are coming out perfect.





He's up on the mammoth site now https://mammoth-miniatures.onlineweb.shop/product/scaley-mud-dragon

Well I finally did it, I sat down, powered through, and managed to make awhole figure in Zbrush!

As anyone who has been following my 3D scanning thread https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=137316.msg1756806#msg1756806 will know, I have been trying to find workarounds to create STL files of some of my designs as I really struggle with digital modeling. But for some reason I sat down this weekend and it all just clicked ,the scales fell from my eyes and I was able to make a whole figure.



Is it perfect? No, far from it - There is SO MUCH that I need to learn and improve on. I need to unlearn my entire approach to sculpting really. But that hurdle of getting a something that looks like an actual figure done is finally gone!



I have put the STL for this spikey lad up on the planet28 patreon, but right now he's just a stepping stone towards (hopefully) better things.

A little rough (or smooth in this case) around the edges but I think it's a great looking figure!  8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Been making some new stuff - A ghoulish man eating giant, A spikey mutant lad, a stoic dwarf and a giant snake. All of these are hand sculpted with the exception of the spikey brute, which is an early digital sculpt. The giant was a great bit of fun to make, and adding a victim into its hands was a nice challenge. he's about 70mm from base to head.










I also sculpted some new ruined standing stones - These were carved from plaster. I may make an altar of centrepiece to go with these.


All of these are up for sale on mammoth miniatures. I've got a few gobliny warriors on my workbench right now.
