I am slowly working on the Malifaux stuff, and some other stuff, but nothing worth mentioning yet.
Right now though I am trying to focus on the Gods and Monsters contest.
I chose the minotaur bust I had gotten from figone. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, but it is a really good sculpt and the cast was top notch. Only one mold line on his back and a bit on the base stand.
I knew before the contest was even thought of that I would change the horns. The originals were good, but I didn't think they were menacing enough. So I broke out some milliput and a paper clip for a frame.
Cassar would be proud of me. I blocked out the horns to the basic shape of them, and let it dry over night. I then broke out the dremel and started carving them into shape. One of the tips broke during this process, but I thought it game him some more character so i kept it. I then sanded them smooth.
I wanted to make him more visually interesting and instill a bit more character. So I added some piercings.
I liked it but I still wanted some more. So I added a skull I had in one of my bits boxes. It will be gold or something as it is intended to be jewelery.
He is going to get a bit more "Bling!" but nothing too over the top. I will be priming him shortly and start working on painting him.
