Witchhunter (updated - 26/07 more market stalls)

[anevilgiraffe]

ok, back to the candy...

after finally sourcing the horse skull I needed, I could finish sculpting my mast beast - essentially a variant of the more familiar hobby horse in Morris Dancing...



 g/s over a eBob dolly, with an eBob horses skull (GW ones were toooo big by half) and out of sheer laziness, a Warlord plastic ECW foot (actually the foot from the witchhunter himself once he had new boots)... I made the cloth over the body a bit more clingy than it probably would be to emphasise the head and arms of the man inside just incase anyone gets confused and has recently watched Time Bandits...

in the main, I'm very happy with it, there are probably issues with the drapery and movement, and I need to touch up a couple of spots, but it kind of evolved on me from a standing beast to one in the middle of a kind of winding ducking dance... if that makes sense...

[Captain Blood]

Excellent.
I've spent a fair bit of time inside one of those

[anevilgiraffe]

I'll take that as an expert opinion then 

[Steve F]

Oss! Oss!

Splendidly creepy.

[Black Cat Bases]

Fantastic, would love to see this cast up so I can get one

Very cool. I love the mast beast. Very thematic and creepy.

[CyberAlien312]

I love this thread. You've got some very atmospheric miniatures, anevilgiraffe.

[anevilgiraffe]

cheers all....

I've a couple of weeks off work now, so hopefully can get quite a bit done... just sorted out the thatch on another building and have two chaps mid paint plus dogs... 

[oxiana]

That's a cracker of a sculpt. 

So much good stuff coming out of this project.

Love the mini - creepy indeed.

decent - white translucent ring - not sure on the term decent though, I just like the idea of 3 D's - just your average church going villager would be here, normal defence against magic

What about "doctrinal" instead of decent?

[Silent Invader]

Nice sculpt - had not heard of this 'creature' until now. 

I've spent a fair bit of time inside one of those

Why am I not surprised?! 

[anevilgiraffe]

Love the mini - creepy indeed.

What about "doctrinal" instead of decent?

well I was going with lines like decent Christian burial and that... day to day folk, go to church, get in the harvest, say their prayers types, but still willing to visit the local cunning woman for a cure.... doctrinal sounds very much like a complete and utter believer, no doubts at all...

[anevilgiraffe]

cheers again... have been offline for the last couple of days due to a virus, using a friends at the moment... on the plus side have all but finished another building... pics as soon as I can run the fix from my usb....

[Andym]

Cool sculpt!!

[anevilgiraffe]

as soon as I can run the fix from my usb....

and that fix removed the virus but killed something as I no longer have a task bar or internet explorer access... thank god firefox was lurking... pics will wait til I trust my system...
