Sculpting Log - New Batch of Sculpts Added 25/08

[Belgian]

Hi, I recently started to sculpt well, attempts to and have managed to create these "creatures" out of greenstuff.

On this log I hope to keep track of all my attempts in sculpting. So here are the first sculpts (15mm gnome miniature for scale)

First up are some giant leeches, nasty inhabitants of the vast boglands



Second of all we have a strange beast of burden loaded with some material and small bolls which contain aqua when traveling through the boglands. Will probably work some more on this one + hopefully add a rider in the future



At last we have an egg snatcher in his habitat. This nest-like camouflaged creature roams near nest sites and when vermin come for the eggs he eats the vermin. Nasty bugger and hard to spot for every rodent and unaware adventurer looking for an tasty egg. In the picture, one egg snatcher and two nest sites. When an explorer tries to grab an egg thow a D6 on 1, 2 and 3, the nest site is an egg snatcher and the adventurer needs to resolve combat with the creature.

Here are some pictures of my plantman, the miniature is roughly 28mm high but bulkier.

Thanks for looking and comments are welcome as this is maybe my fifth sculpt. Looking at the pictures it looks better from a distance

A nice start, missing this thread the first time around.

Looking forward to these with some paint on.

Some interesting ideas there, Belgian.

I think the beast of burden would look good with a rider, go for it!

That Plantman looks pretty cool too.

Thanks for the nice comments, next up will be an attempt to a robed cultist partially changing into a plantman. Fingers crossed on that one

Here are some pictures of sculpts 6 and 7. In the meanwhile I did some touch ups on the almost plantmen.

On the left, a cultist slowly changing to a plantmen while on the right a cultist almost reaching his plantmen status



From left to right: cultist during transition, cultist almost reached full plantmen status, full plantmen

They look good - far better than anything I could come up with!

If you're feeling brave, you could post these up on Frothers - you might get some brutally honest feedback (probably with swear words), but if you don't take offence they really know what they are talking about and you will get lots of professional advice.

Hi, thanks for the comment, although I will probably stay away from Frothers as I prefer the safe waters of LAF

Well, they look fine to me.  Would love to see them painted.

Thanks, I will delay the painting part as I would want to make some copies of the cultist (to make up a nice bunch of cultists). Still figuring out a good way to do so as I don't posses any casting equipment such as resin and mold material. Not speaking of the needed expertise and skill.

Some more progress on the sculpting front - all works in progress.

Just finished my four-armed critter and furry alien. Comments are welcome.

Furry alien - front

Four-armed critter - front

Freshly started ostrich inspired creature (will probably be finished in a similar way as the furry alien)

I'm liking these!

Thanks!

Here's another work in progress of a giant "wolf" inspired by the Tolkien wargs. The fur is currently being added so more picture will follow shortly. Not totally happy about the creature but I needed some more experience in creating armatures, handling greenstuff and tools.



Kind regards
