Serpent-man Anathema

[jimbo.ro]

Hi mates,

I'm a newcomer in this forum and I would like to share with you my most ambitious project... yuan-ti anathema miniature
I wanted to sculpt this mini because I don't like the wizard of the coast one.
Honestly I think the illustration that inspired the WoTC mini was absolutely gorgeus but the sculpt was... strange? goofy?

The figure is almost finished, and it's based on the yuan-ti anathema from d&d 3.5.
My goal is to use this figure for my tabletop d&d game, so I will not add any basing, flock or sand.
In the next few days I will add a snake medallion and then I will proceed with priming ang paintng.
Sculpting miniature is just a hobby for me, and I know in this forum there are a lot of professional and talented sculptors and painters, so I ask you all to give me your feedbacks to improve my skills.
Oh, I'm italian, so forgive my grammar...

So, guys what do you think?

it seems wet becuase it's... wet. I use a protective spray coat that is completely opaque when dry.

Dang, man, that is one impressive sculpt! How did you lay in those scales? A tool with a tube tip or something?

That is awesome! I would definitely buy one if it was made available! As a matter of fact, I might be interested in having you recreate this in the future for my Barbaric Splendor line when I do my next Kickstarter.

thanks a lot, mates!
I'm so pleased you like my sclulpt.
for the scales I used a really DIY method, the hollow point of two mechanical pencils of two different sizes.
it was a relly boring process but it made easy to have seamless joints when adding green stuff.
I also used instant mold for the heads duplicates, because my worst flaw is to keep the same size in various identical parts.
thank you so much!!

Do you mind if I share this on my Barbaric Splendor page on Facebook?
