Brute
« on: 02 June 2013, 11:40:13 AM »
Well this is the first time I show my work here, but hopefully not the last.

This is supposed to be a dumb brute of sorts, with a hint of grotsque that makes him something other than human.
He measures 37mms to the top of his head. Basically I just wanted to prractice sculpting muscles and this is the resoult.
Feel free to share your thoughts on it, should you have any  :)

Cheers Matthew

Looks really good. I'm no anatomist but everything looks 'right'. I would say the cloth hanging from his belt could do with a little more definition to the creasing to make it look a little more finished. Please post more stuff.  :)

The Big Guy is LOOKIN' GOOD...I'd buy one also. He'd work well in both a Fantasy or Post Apocalypse setting. GREAT WORK!

Something about the faceless helm that made me first think Silent Hill, then Fallout, then dungeon bash.

Looking good at last Máté. Just give the cloth a bit more "weight" ie make it hang more from the knee than rather than cling to the leg.
 :D
Well done!

Nice zorro. Could also go with a superhero line as a villain.

Thank you guys. Good to see some familiar faces.
I don't t think the figure will become available, but if so I will let you know.
I will have to improve my cloth work, but I think my next miniature will have similar garments, so I will have ample opportunity there.
The head was originally closer to" normal" size, when it had a face,

but I thought meh, the anatomy was already a bit inhuman, why not go all the way..

I do hope you continue to post here as you sculptors are the heart of this hobby. Without you guys, we'd have nothing to paint or to game with. You deserve our utmost respect.

I think that your instinct to go with the smaller, masked head is best. It makes the piece stand out as "more than human". The anatomy is excellent and the pose is dynamic. I would like to see a shot of him from the back if possible.

Awesome looking work! The figures "inhumaness" remind me of old European comic book sci fi style. Great work.

Pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of those bad guys in Infinity Blade.
