General SciFi WIP Lexandro d'Arquebus ~August 21 '24

What program are you using to do these?

zBrush. I intend to learn Blender as well eventually, but I keep putting that off...

[Freddy]

I like them!

Great work on those Space Opera characters, hopefully there will be a Wilma Deering amongst them eventually. Good to see what you have been sculpting alongside the supers.

[eMills]

I like them!

Thanks very much.

Thank you Rob.  I imagine she will end up in here somewhere, but probably mashed-up with another character.

Hey there,
I remember your great work on Warzone/Siege of Citadel minis and here is even more cool stuff. Big Critter is the best.

Thank you Manu.  I would love to see your paintwork on the big guy some day. 

Even though I am no fan of NMM, I really love all of your Mutant Chronicles paintjobs.  You are one of the best miniature painters I have ever seen.

Prints pictures finally...







The Grey Knight is bare resin.  The others have a light white primer that doesn't look as bad in real life as it does in these pictures.

Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice!

Very nice!

Mike Demana

Thank you very much.

I like the design that I settled on for the Grey Knight, but something about it was still off in my opinion.  I saw some printed Space Marines on Instagram and then I knew what was bothering me: the design is not hefty enough.  So, I made some parts thicker.

Original


Changed


Side by side comparison.


These were given a grey primer and a was of AP Strong Tone to show the details.  I am much happier with the changed figure.  It seems to have a better sense of weight or solidity than before.

Small update, but I thought some might be interested.  Thanks all for stopping by.

I added some GW accessories to the adjusted figure and painted it.  Here is the result:

Shoulder Pads, Backpack and its decoration, Book, Knife, Keys, and Grenades are all GW bits.  I need to adjust all the accessories that I sculpted to fit the new size, but I wanted to see a finished (sort of) product.  I say sort of because I want to do another highlight pass and add some tufts to the base.

Here is a comparison with the older sculpt:


Here a comparison with the original sculpt:

Everything on the original sculpt is my work.

Here is a shot with all 3:


That's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by.

Like a good many folks, I was unsatisfied with the new Inquisitor Coteaz figure, and decided to make my own.



Test printing now.  I will work on the cyber eagle and some acolytes at some point.

Thanks for stopping by.

[eMills]

Coteaz printed:





I have another pint of him that is about 5% smaller. I think he looks good next to the Enforcer but too big next to the Cadian.

Ramiela and Kroosh PIP:



Fairly happy with the progress here so far.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Baroness figure has come out really nicely.

[anevilgiraffe]

Kroosh is fantasic, will he be available anywhere? in 28mm?

Thanks Rob.

Sure, why not?  Space Critter

Keep in mind I am no supports expert but I haven't had any issues with test prints.  Also, I am a one person operation so I can't make everything super cheap.  Hopefully $5 US isn't too much to ask for him. 

If you do get a copy, please share when you paint it.
