The Garden of Kama - Incoming!

[tomogui]

The Okko miniature game also did a geisha-themed Penanggalan, which is a sweet sculpt:

YES!!!! Those sculpts are great! This looks very, very interesting. Will those Mara be available to the public?

Thanks, Christian (and the rest.)

Yes, the intent is to offer them for sale through the Tekumel Club. The angle I'm taking is that it is one of the possible planes of existence accessible through a Nexus gate.

Tekumel Club members would get their normal discount.

Very much looking forward to what comes of this, especially if John Winters is on board.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

John may do some stuff for this range, though he is working on Tekumel figures at the moment.

Looks like Stephen May might do some stuff as well.

And Nick Genovese is doing some funky shield designs...

A question has come up that I hadn't thought about yet - how to base these?

Most of our Tekumel figures have thin integral bases like Eureka. What I am thinking is maybe pegs in the bottom of the feet would be better?

Comments?

Finished pics.








Sorry for any perceived wonkiness, the blu-tac wasn't being particularly cooperative tonight!
I'm really pleased with how these have come out and how far my sculpting has come since I started taking it really seriously over the last 12months.
Theyre around 36-38mm tall (should be around actual size in the group shot depending on your monitor).
I hope you like them, I look forward to the next set for this project.

Wow!

These are fantastic, Andrew!
 

I am going have to check out the tekumel project, because these would be perfect for some 'natives' for my forthcoming VSF campaign.
(The 'natives' in question being from another plane, the size difference should work out pretty well!)

They really do look amazing...and just fun to paint!

And I agree...your sculpting skills are really coming along nicely.

Cheers,

Blue

Love the sculpting, absolutely fantastic bud

If the range so far has integral bases then I would stay with that, if people are really crying out for slotta tabs then you can always get some copies from the master mold, and swap the integral for a tab on the models that people are wanting with said tabs.

[Faber]

brilliant work mate
Really like them. And you are a really talented sculptor! I wish I could sculpt something like that. I think I would not do anything else but sculpting

Great stuff I'd be interested in buying some to.

For these we have decided to go with pegs on the bottom of the feet.

First thing I thought of seeing theses greens is a Wargods of Aegyptus war band based off Indian gods.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

That might actually be doable. Next up are the "Daughters of Kama" which are seductive and deadly female demons. And several human factions. Heroes are planned for each faction along with gods and goddesses (or aspects thereof) such as Kali - as an obvious choice. And various mythical creatures: Garuda and Yali, for example. Naga will be a complete faction. And Rakshasa, though I don't know what they look like yet...

You'd have to come up with stats on your own though.

[aggro84]

Wow. 

Very nice! You need a caster / distributor.

I have no idea what I'd use them for but they are gorgeous.

I've always been a fan of this style of Asian art.

At some point you tekumel folk are really going to need to invest in a proper website or at least contract with a larger player - these figures are easily good enough for mainstream sales!
