Work in Progress D&D collection. Update: A whole lotta stuff.

[Battle Brush Sigur]

@Zosimos: Is is enormous. Just starting with detailwork; that'll take ages.

@Daeothar: Not purely, but way too much. So far I used a spraycan for the black basecoat, basic airbrushing for the grey on the walls (not entirely necessary) and for the first layer of highlights on the skin. Otherwise it's all paintbrush stuff. Yup, that's a 3d print, FDM. So I spent about a day or so trying to get rid of the worst bits of 3d print structure by applying texture, sanding, filling gaps and so on. I wish I had more time to spend on that dude. He'd be a total oil paints feast (it would be delicious), but I just don't have the time.

It looks great! I saw this 3d model several times, always thought that how cool it would look painted, but who has enough space and nerves for a project like that? Now I know

Thanks for the comment! Well, it's a commission job, so at least I won't have to put it somewhere once it's done. And while I'm working on it, I got instructions from my brother to put the huge zombieskeleton away if got my niece is over at my place.

Hahaha! Don't want impressionable young minds to be upset!

@mikedemana: 'Won't somebody please think of the children?'


Right. There he is!





















Hope you like him! I'll drive him around the country and we'll attend Austrian Salute this weekend. Then I'll have to give him back to his owner.

Holy moly, what a piece of art!

[Little Odo]

That is a truly amazing piece of work. Outstanding workmanship.

[Freddy]

This looks really great! ...very creepy though

[fred]

What they all said!

That is kind of astonishing and amazing and gross all at once!

[Peithetairos]

Lovely work! Imagine the stench! Excellent building skills on display here and obviously really imaginative. I also love that you ca actually play on it.

[Rick]

Wow - great painting and detailing and what an incredible subject to get to paint!
I mean, all giants are monsters, but this is a monster miniature of a monster!! 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That is something else!

Excellent.

Thanks very much for the kind comments, guys. Much appreciated.

It is quite the unique piece and posed some unique challenges. But I love depicting different surfaces on a model, and this one's got it all: 2 different kinds of stonework, funky, funky skin/flesh (and wounds too!), metal and timber (the latter being probably hampered the most by the fact that it's FDM-printed, but on the other hand the marks kinda work as woodgrain. Still required a ton of sanding.

This dude would have been a complete joy to break out the oil paints for, but I didn't have the time, so I went all-acrylic on this one. And less airbrush than one would think too.

The gentleman who I did this model for also gave me a creepy looking doll eye to see if it fits the empty eye socket. Which gave it yet a whole different look, but in the end just looked like somebody stuck a not-quite-fitting effect eye onto the model so in the end we decided not to go with that. Especially since the other, the 'blind' eye, looked very different as welll.

Despite some general misgivings about certain kinds of 3d-drawn figures, this one impressed me with two physical traits: This dude is stable. Not once he fell over despite him being a dude on two feet and huge. But the centre of gravity very cleverly rests right in the middle and on where the pelvic bone would be. Gives him excellent stability.

The other thing is that he is sized such that he JUST fits an IKEA Detolf glass cabinet's two lowerlevels. So you just have to remove the lowest glass divider and he goes right in there. Maybe just a coincidence, but the dude fits so well that I'm inclined to think that this is by design.

Little update - here's a bunch of thin, angry nuns! All very much WIP, but slowly getting there.




Yar, all from the Raging Heroes range. PACKED with fine Detail. Very interesting figures; hope you like them so far!

[Battle Brush Sigur]

Heyhey, thin angry nuns done.














I guess the lad who's banging the pot in the left there needs some more work on his eyes. Other than that, they're pretty much done. A wild mix of various sets of these fantasy nuns. The ladies with the Day of the Dead theme are younger nuns, as far as I understand it. Doesn't make much sense, but I like the figures. They're fun. The cooking lady of course is a highlight. Very good sculpt. 32mm sized. Hope you like them!
