The Wasteland dragon (Casting well c:)

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
Hope things turn out for the best. (a new job might already be a step in the good direction  )

[Messyart]

Rejigged the shoulders to get the right shape, need a bit of work. D:






And then I compared it to my L4D Tank figure..


I wonder who'd win?

[Messyart]

Do not abandon hope (I tell myself). Project still trying to survive.

I hit sculptors block over and over again, trying to work out how to do the claws.

It's new to me. I don't ever "do" hands, and if I do... It's horribly bad. I'm trying right now to do little bits at a time, while also allowing myself to "relax" with a centaur/ FEV failure selection..


*Gets up next morning realising I left this written and unposted*
So, I cracked on shortly after writing. His hands have thumbs, now! x3

[Messyart]

Judging by no comments, it sounds Like I'm taking far too long on this thing. D:

Well I have some photos. I'm not too happy with how little I have done, but it's getting there.





I decided to be courageous and just *try* the bits I was worrying and fussing over (tail and hands) and I'm fairly happy with the progress and shape. c:

I re-shaped the neck a bit, I made a decent fit too. I've JUST got hold of the perfect way to finish the lower legs.

Nice job! I like how the model looks.  Would not mind letting my players meet a Deathclaw during a game, oeven if only to make them wonder how they hell they can get out alive 

[superflytnt]

That's a really good job on that, mate. Top marks.

[Bergil]

I'd say you're doing great work on the claws. You can just be brave like I am and sculpt onto strings of putty that are on the hands, or use thin wires from telephone wires or something.

I am throwing my money at the monitor right now 

Can't wait to see it finished!

[von Lucky]

Yeah, nice work on the model - including the claws and beginnings of the tail. Keep it up!

[zizi666]

 

I'd tell you to take your time, but that would be a lie 
Seriously, that's growing into a mighty fine mini (or by the size of it : maxi...)

[SerialMoM]

Oh yeah it is coming very nicely.

I love your advances.

I hope everything will come out fine.

[Messyart]

Oh man, I feel so good when I finally finish little bits like this...
I got on with the arms for my baby Deathclaw (it'll be more like a hatchling really, barely being 25mm tall)





There has been work done to the Deathclaw, but nothing notable enough for photos, yet. I sculpted the palms so that it's easier to place the other fingers and I have worked up the segments of the tail a bit more.

I also "have" that job I mentioned, though it's proving an awful lot of hassle. 0-hour contract and they've not even called me to arrange my training!

Oh, I made a mould of the Deathclaws head. Soon, I will go bother the guy I gave my resin to and make a couple of casts so I can make it... Well, better. I might even try one with an open mouth!

[Messyart]

Little bit more work done lately. I lost one of the spines, but it's hardly a hassle to make a new one (Just imagine it looked awesome!)

I made a cast of the head, chopped up the copies to repose them/ correct their proportions. The result has been difficult to photograph. D: I also added... dum dum dum...
Another set of fingers. ._.
Did more work on the tail, started on the feet, reworked the neck muscles..




Vague post is vague. Also short.

[Anpu]

Sweet!   

[von Lucky]

Tail is starting to take shape - I like it!
