Evening all,
Well iv taken a whole week off to get this bad boy done, am aiming to have at least the conversion work done by then, maybe even some paint!
on this pic u can see the beginning of the scroll work on the leg, i had actually sculpted the other side but like the wrinkles in his head i made the GS too soft and it didnt set so iv had to take them off
Some pics of his new hair, i ended up sculpting each one individually
and a nice little highlight/shadow ref, i will be lookin to make his face quite dark with lots of contrast to make him look more sinister
Backpack
iv tidied up the BP quite alot, the side panels are alot more even and have some scroll work on em, the bottom swirls will have some small gems in them. iv also added more tubing to the back and drilled some holes for the head tubes to go into, the slot where the combat drub canister goes still needs some work
some swirly scrolly detail on the exhaust vent
Hand
Just doing some detailing work on the underside of his fist, gunna be ur typical chaosy spikes
base
am still thinking about the base, am prob going to try to keep it minimal, this pic shows a rough mock up of an idea i was having, white milliput when squashed gives u a nice volcanic rock look, so am considering freshly cooled lava as a base (or freshly cooled plasma cannon melted rock...), have yet to decide who the flag will belong to, will need to do some fluff reading to work both out
for the plinth iv been in touch with dave armstong of armstrong bases about a custom octagon plinth. tryin to sort it out has been quite long winded he also seems a little flaky so whether ill get it or not is still up in the air. concerned its too flashy at the mo, suppose ill have to wait and see.
Dark purple base with dark gold flecks in....
also, any experienced GDers tell me if i was just to base him on the rock and attach it to the plinth, is it legal (ie he aint on a slotta base) and would i need to make him detachable?
Nighty Nite :drunk:
John
*edit*
small update
Some gems have been added to his belt, and the other side of the scroll work has been finished on his leg, still undecided whether to add any more details to his belt
some more gems and scroll work
i was a little fortunate when i was adding the scroll work on his gauntlet as his hand was loose and came off, then his arm followed, so iv take the chance to start tidying up the wrist joint coz it was uneven, iv also tidied the counter weight on the swords handle, still more work to do their and am having a bash at makin his fingers more talon like to help the theme, iv also removed the decoration about the sword hilt, will replace it with some kind of scroll work
