That occured to me too ...

New vampy thing is looking buff and mean. Don't vamps come on 20mm bases? Or has this lad been up-based due to bigness concerns?

I have to redesign the canisters to look more 40K-ish (no skulls involved).

The vamp is based on a large base simply because I don't have a normal one. Though a 40mm mini might have stability issues on a 20mm base...

Wings re-done, ears added

He looks great.
What will you do for hands. I think the hands you sculpted on the other models maybe a little too big for him.
I'm sure you'll do a great job.

just thoguht it would beb easier to post here, how much do you charge for you custom models?? (about inquisitor scale size)

Nice - I really like the modification you made to the wings. The earlier wings looked good, but were fairly uninteresting. Between the bone detailing and the attachment points to the muscles in the arms, I think it looks really strong now.

Freaks of the world UNITE!!

-edit: Forgot to say what everyone told ya' : KoOoOoL

The body is finished, Now I'll have to think up some Lustrian themed details.

Another commission ready. Some of you might recognize this one...

HMV Deathcow, groovy

Appreciate the smashy warhammer and armor plates particularly. The 'face' seems a bit minimalist (as in, looks like not a lot of work done to it?) which works for the chaos angle - no lips, exposed teeth, etc - but unsure for the beast angle. I do like it though, for the "freakshow" spookiness of his face

That's how the customer wanted it. You never argue with the customer. Especially when you're lazy like me

I'm afraid the photo washed out some of the finer detail on the head. Unfortunately , since I've already shipped the model I won't be able to get better ones.

LOL - the superdeluxe rotato-deathcow looks a bit like he's dancing...

Great stuff, though! The backside of the hammer looks wicked. It looks like his abdomen is a little crunched behind his Texas-sized rodeo-winnings belt buckle.

The Stigany lord finished with custom saurus skin loincloth. Next up, The Slimmest Strigoi Vampire That Has Ever Ripped Your Head Off.

Vamp looks ver nice with the little accesories added, and way to stick it to the lizards Batty

Will be waiting for the skinny strigoi!

Dude I do not know what your problem with feet is but here is a suggestion that might help: Model them like hands laying on the ground and I think with a few adjustments they will look good.

I don't see what the problem that people have with HMV's feet. Just because we haven't seen anything in this thread other than small clawed, animal-like feet doesn't mean that he can't sculpt anything else. I mean, maybe he can, maybe he can't - but just because there are no examples of it in this thread isn't evidence that he can't do it.

He said he tried but was not satisfied with the outcome and I just do not give up trying to convincing him .

I'm a fetishist. My girlfiend goes around the house barefoot and I go nuts.

Anyway, Matchstick Man says hello

The new piece is looking good so far. A ghoul? or another vamp?

What sort of art background do you have? Or is that eye for anatomy just from pictures?

Well, most academical background comes from looking at lots of pictures so you might say there's no difference

But in reality I have no formal art training, just a bit of talent and lots of work to do...

Did you know a Stigany vampire will be the next California governor?

RIPPED

Like I said on WS, good to see you again HMV. Is this another (particularly jacked) vampire commission?

Double Post

I don't think I've ever seen an amateur sculpter with anything approaching your grasp of anatomy and proportions. Amazing work. The only improvement I might suggest is that you could try and attempt reproportionalizing (not a word I know) the muscle structure based on the pose. For example, making the abdominal muscles on the less hunched side of the third vampire slightly less prominent as they would be under less stress.

good lord that musculature is pristine.

as for the hands vs feet debate, the hands are so big and the feet so small that it does really throw it off for me.

however, having said that, I couldn't sculpt one hand like that let alone 2 and the rest of the model, so cudos to you and well done mate.

HMV, do you have a site where you take commissions? If not, what do you usually charge?

I would vote for him. Great detail work.
