Push those proportions!

Vaguely inspired by an alien sculpt I did back in my second year at Uni. First image is an attempt at fake subsurface scattering using a tutorial by Xenomorphic (thanks!). Obviously it needs a bit of work still, as does the model itself (the feet for instance, what IS going on there?) but I'm happy with it so far.



...and in this picture you can actually see the guy!



One day I'll get this imageshack thumbnail lark right first time.

Quickie face sculpt

This fellah is sporting the all new MAN POUT.



PS. What do we think of the wee goaty logo? Does it read as a goat?
PPS. After much faffing about hopefully we now have a compression free image.

Contemplating stone masonry

This is my excuse for not having done much in the way of 3D work recently. Dont worry, your eyes aren't deceiving you, it actually is a patio, constructed by my fair hands. It'll all look much better when the rest is planted and the earth is pushed right up to the edges.

Sadly in the patio construction process my sun-glasses were greviously injured and later passed away :'(

One sword keeps another in the sheath

PS. What is with the blogger image compression!? It burns my eyes :(

I promise to tackle the fur within the next 6 months

Phew! After several aborted paint-over attempts I have finally produced something that isn't quite intolerable. Obviously it is still veeery WsIP (work slowly in progress) but some parts are getting there. The black mass sitting on his shoulders will grow up to be a fine snowy fur cape of sorts when I feel strong enough to paint the damn thing. As he so astutely states, he is actually a good fellow and is in fact one of the royal guards to the Lord of the Karúl; a reclusive yet highly territorial race who dwell on snowy plateaus high up in the mountains. There is more fluff but I won't bore myself by typing it up here.



My inspirations here consisted mainly of the Space Wolves (of Warhammer 40k), most depictions of fantasy dwarfs and my Scottish ancestry of course. A helmet is currently in the works, and will be suitably elite and flashy and may even be feathery. The skull is a maybe; i liked the idea of the royal guards being allowed to wear evidence of their former kills, and this chap obviously killed a massive, sharp-toothed goat at some point in the past (maybe even a neon goat?). Next up is....swords! Long, sharp, shiny and with tiny little wolves sitting on the hilts.



Finally, some of the worse-than-the-above paint-overs. Yay!
