Dwarf W.I.P
« on: October 03, 2012, 01:49:43 PM »
Hi Everyone  :)

I got some new Cernit polymer clay at the weekend and decided to test it out by sculpting this dwarf..

He still needs and axe head done maybe horns on his helmet ???

What do you think so far?




and a scale shot next to a Space marine



Thanks

Looks good so far, certainly in the traditional style of dwarf  8)

Leave off the horns and give him a hammers head  :)

HI HO, HI HO!...sorry the Little Guy brought on a Snow White moment. He really is a FINE LOOKING Dwarf. I also would skip the horns; a candle style mining lamp would look cool on his helmet. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

He certainly looks good and well sculpted. Since we started trying to learning to sculpt at roughly the same time (I seem to remeber one of your first sculpts being shown here on LAF at about the same time I started trying it out), you've come a lot further than I have.
If I was going to say anything is that he's a little narrow shouldered for a stereotypical dwarf, but if you're not aiming for that then the model looks right, but it works alright anyway.
How do you find Cernit in comparison to Fimo and Sculpey?
Nice work and keep on sculpting!

I think he is pretty neat looking, a dwarf farmer.
Are you planning on casting and selling him?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Thanks for the feedback  :)

How is your sculpting coming along?

I found the Cernit a lot softer than Fimo and Sculpey and it was easier to move around once applied.  I'm still not sure which one I like the best  :?

Not at the moment but, if any one thinks he's good enough and wants to pick him up for there range, just send me PM

I'm in the mood to sculpt some  Brian Froud type goblins  :)

Thanks
George

At the moment I'm using a 1 Fimo : 2 sculpey and liking it quite abit. I prefer sculpting in Polymer clays, unfortunately due the melting plastic and needing to go in the oven they don't seem as versatile as epoxys.

That looks good! I agree with some of the previous post, leave the horns off. He looks suitably different from other models because of, which is a good thing! I don't know if it's the orange colour of the clay, but I immediately thought dwarf fishermandwarf.

Good work.  Like the sculpt a lot.  Yes, no horns would be better.

Gracias,
