SNAILS!

They are amazing, I want some.

Thank you all, more bugs to come!

The texture on those snails is just awesome.

Brilliant work.

Snails are on the move.

THis year I'm sculpting loads of bugs and started with some snails.
Here are some concept shells I made. Currently sculpting a couple of these.

I really like the sculpts for the most part, but had one point of constructive criticism. Been trying to get time to make a pic highlighting it, but been so crazy here just wanted to go ahead and give the feedback and can elaborate later if needed!

The two shells on the lower left have these nice spikes breaking up the profile of the curve. I think the top one of the two is what you sculpted, and they are smaller, but still they help break up the profile and make it look dangerous.

Is there any way you could add that to the first snail shell you sculpted? I absolutely love that snail, but its shell needs something, I think, especially to break up its profile.

What do you think? Otherwise, absolutely brilliant sculpts, imo!

Ever heard of Flail-Snails of Fear and Flame?

Also, the bone snail could be something interesting- maybe some sort of dessicated, undead snail with a spinal shell. I still think you should do one with a drill tongue projecting out- you got the 'maw-tooth-grinder' going on the 'crazy' snail, which is sweet- but you could push it just that little bit more, I think.

Those snails are amazing. I'd run away from them if they were slowly heading towards me.

Thanks! I got a bit carried away with the texture work to the point that I did sculpt texture on the underside of the snails too, so the part that your going to glue to the base and never see again is actually textured too

I think its a good idea mate unfortunately these have been sold and sent to the company that will produce them ( I believe they have sent them to the caster already too)... so I cannot change them now. On the plus side its something easier to convert once I have some copies for myself.

I tried to avoid fragile things since these will be heavy duty big monsters and a thin drill would snap very often and easy. Love the idea though. Snails are like a rich canvas for cool concepts but I believe 4 variants its plenty for me for now I really need to explore different bugs.

When I sculpted these I was thinking about the speed thing and:

The stone one when retracted can be mistaken with a normal rock until you get to close and... its to late for you.
The normal one can be inside a dark cave hanging on the ceiling shadows only to drop itself on who dares to enter the cave
My mind drifted so much with these that I was imagining a huge rock Snail mum blocking the cave exit once you enter it only to have thousands of her little snailings to slowly feast on you.
These fellas can be scary.

Thanks all for the wonderful ideas and critiques, love it! and as you may have noticed I'm quite passionate with ideas of deadly critters.

Love those snails, especially number 1

Thanks Ruglud

Otherworld miniatures just posted some official paintjobs of the Rock Giant.



Love what they did with the colours.

So when's that on sale? :p
Been waiting to buy one haha.

Just checked other worlds site and nothing on there :(

It went for the caster a couple weeks ago so I assume they will have it for sale very very soon. I'm going to pick some copies for myself at salute but not sure if its already on general sale by then. I will keep you posted as soon as I know something.

Thank you very much
Running a primitive shooting and goblin army so this makes a perfect stone thrower for me

Also matches my FW rogue idol nicely too!

The snails are off to be cast already, that's awesome!! If you have their ear, if possible please request that they let folks select snail body and snail shell as I'd like to get several of Snail 1 with Shell 2

Awesome work Navarro, let us know when they're for sale!

Same my fav is normal snail with rock shell. Thanks mate.

Love the snail, superb sculpts! The Savage Orc conversions are really cool as well, great dynamic poses.

Can't wait for the snails I will have to buy some.

So what's up next sir?

Thanks guys.
Next on the table is a new commission I got at Salute and finish up another nasty insect from the deserts to another client.

Btw this is my Salute loot.

Navarro, they turned out beautiful! I am going to rush to order one now for my orcs (orruks?). The clear ice golem looks like it has so much potential! I cant wait to see what is next

Glad you liked them Lorax Im going to use them for my Orruks too.

I have another unit of Savage Orruks done for my AoS, this time with spears & shields and converted big Stabba.

Really feral and dynamic. Their great.

The orcs with the giant spear remind me of the bean pole baddies in dark souls 3

Man those Savage orks look ace.

EDC

Love the look of the greenskins. Nice work.

Brilliant work on the savage orcs!! And that "ice giant" cast of your rock giant is genius! Are they selling it that way, too?

Thank you all very much, to be honest plastic is really easy to work with and a bit of work here and there you can turn GW Orruks into something more dynamic. I think I will struggle more when I do the savages with Bow and arrows since reposing into shooting arrows etc is more demanding.

@RiTides Otherworld will soon have a clear resin version too.

Slowly getting closer of my objective of converting all my WFB army to AoS.

Arachnarok just got a facelift with a new circular base and I also gave it a Shaman.

Skull Pile For One > Howdah of Sticks and Screeching Gobbo Underlings

Excellent base as well, impressive as ever!

- Salvage

Sweet base work, and shaman looking excellent on his little throne!

Awesome work on the base for the giant spider. It looks brilliant.

EDC

I love the lone gobo on the back of the spider; makes it look oddly more menacing! I love the new watermark also! Really nice and clever design!

Thanks guys!

Tomorrow I will post my latest commission, another gigantic creature. I used almost as much greenstuff has the Rock giant.

Love the tiny gobbo and giant spider, like everyone else it seems

And you tease about the creature commission, can't wait to see it!

Was not my iintention to tease... well not the main one that is

So one month ago I got a new challenge since Otherworld miniatures commissioned me to re imagine their Colossal Slug.

The brief was quite open, they wanted a HUGE Slug highly textured with a modernized and fantasy like style. This was just about my favourite subject, bugs!
Gastropoda have been quite a fun ride with the snails and now the slug.





























Details











Scale







The kit will have 3 pieces, main body and 2 pair of eyes.



Been doing loads of Mollusca and even if by now I would call it finished I'm happy to say that during this weekend I will post Slugs concept art of some Medium sized slugs I want to sculpt asap.
Hope you guys liked the Colossal Slug, for sure it has been just a pleasure for me.

That is a HUGE slug @_@

Awesome work, and particularly disturbing in the shot where it's bearing down on the fleeing dude

- Salvage

Whoa, that's a seriously scary slug. It looks great - and super realistic. (My youngest son loooves slugs and snails, so I spend a lot of time looking for/at them).

Boss Salvage wrote:That is a HUGE slug @_@

He as no chance, yet somehow he manages to escape and make its way to another nasty monster. I have been using this fella for scale purposes for years now so he is clearly quite good at getting away

Oguhmek wrote:Whoa, that's a seriously scary slug. It looks great - and super realistic. (My youngest son loooves slugs and snails, so I spend a lot of time looking for/at them).

Maybe this will be a good project to iniate your son into painting some miniatures? Thank you Sir.

Phenomenal!! Your texture sculpting is gorgeous. Really lovely work

Much appreciated Januine.

So still in slug mode here and I really want to sculpt some medium sized hell slugs, these are some of my concepts on paper.
Which one(s) to sculpt is yet still to be decided. Really hard to choose!
Ideas and suggestions are welcome Dakkaites.

I never knew I wanted a giant slug. Is that bad boy going to be a retail things soon?

I wonder if it would scare off the slugs in my garden... sort of a big "THESE TOMATOES ARE TAKEN!" sign.

Love the third pic, and the one in the center of the last! I think the bumps / spikes on the back of the last one should be carried through the others, rather than the very smooth back section shown on some. It makes it seem more complete, whereas if it's smooth I keep looking for a snail shell to be added

Very cool concepts!!

I'm with RiTides about the lack of shell somehow seeming like 'uncompleted snail', but I undestand that Slugs do look like that- maybe it's just a difference between the drawing and how the actual full-model texture would look.

Though having one that's super-duper ueber smooth might be interesting.

I favor all of the slugs in the group pic, or the first slug + some spikes. Not really a fan of the tentacle eyestalks on slug 2 and 3, prefer the quasi-realism of 1.

Mmmm, quasi-realism ...

- Salvage

You know... if the whole battle slugs thing doesn't work out... I'm certain you would be a smash making slug models for museums, schools and mallocologists!

This is crazy !

I think it would even scare the birds and cats Just got news that it reached Otherworld studios safe. So it will be up to them for how long it takes to cast . I will keep you posted.

Quasi- realism I never heard that one before but I love the sound of it
I see what your saying its always hard to achieve a good balance between fantasy and realism.

Yeah in the end I will probably have e full army of slugs and snails!

Minus wrote:This is crazy !

Its going to get crazier soon

Just finished working my way through this thread. Love your models & bases, and looking forward to seeing more slugs (also - never imagined that would be a phrase I would ever use....).

I coincidentally picked up your Secret Weapon corpse bases two days ago to act as Malifaux corpse markers, too.

Whip Scorpion/ Vinegaroon sculpt.

I was commissioned to enter a new project along with Mortal Arrow miniatures and the first, of many, insects is the giant Whip scorpion.

Mortal Arrow is in the process to redesign their site and they just uploaded the fluff for the Whip Scorpion too.
http://www.mortalarrow.com/character-dark_vinegaroon.html

The sculpt


































Many more insects with a fantasy twist will soon be created for your adventures.


@Groundh0g Thank you! I hope you enjoy painting the corpses bases with plenty of gory paints.

Wow, just love most of it! The tail is odd for me, but I'm guessing that's part of their design. But overall it's adorable

The only correct answer as to which one to sculpt is all of them of course

Great sculpt, looks fantastic, agree with RiTides it looks a little off with the tail and antenna, but you have kept true to their design, so not your sculpt at issue. If anything you have nailed natures design quite well, so its her fault it looks weird.

So love your carapace work, just stunning.

I Like Slug 2 best, Excellent work.

Very late, but holy moly that giant slug is super impressive! So realistic.

Nice work on the Scorpion too.

EDC

In defense of Navarro... here's the real thing. I think he's done a really excellent job interpreting this into something that's viable as a model.

Whip scorpions are really weird, I know, but kind of cool since they spray liquid from that tail that smells like vinegar, so yeah really odd creature.
Mother nature does give us some crazy study subjects.
While sculpting I really had to make some elements cast friendly ( tail and antennas), so little tweaks to the proportions had to be made. In the end I also added some fantasy twists just to make it more wicked.

Speaking of odd creatures Im finishing one now that is as alien as it can be.

Slug wise I will try to make 2 or 3 tops but first I just received a few more commissions so I need to get around them.

Its been quite a prolific year for sculpting so far.

You made any Mantis Shrimp-inspired beasties yet?

Not yet Anvildude but I can say Im doing a big beasty that lives in the water

Digging the slugs, hope they are salt resistant otherwise it will be an easy battle

Time for the Tailless Whip Scorpion to rise into the war-gaming tables.

This is my latest sculpt for Mortal Arrow Miniatures.































and no salt will harm this one Jehan-reznor

I'll take two please.

That's just amazing.

Thank you

I will have 3 as ussual for myself.

Official release of the gigantic Slug by Otherworld Miniatures.

Love the colours they used on it.
Time to grab yours.

You know mate, the mouth on that thing looks like... how do I put this delicately... every man's worst nightmare. LOL! Looks awesome though!

Love the free miniature! What a great deal.
Will not subscribe it though.

Colours on the slug look awesome.that new critter is pretty creepy and gross too (in a good way).

EDC

Happy that you like it.

Next one has loads of tentacles.

Both are making my skin crawl...: awesome job

This sculpt was a hard cookie to crack but I managed to do a Giant Octopus and extra 4 individual tentacles.
The Creature was for Otherworld miniatures and personally this was by far my most demanding mini of 2016.


































Just remember guys "Do not disturb the waters"

Wow, I love the slug and the octopus, and really the scorpion thing, creepy as it is. Fantastic work.

Does Otherworld get carried in the 'States do you know? I can't recall seeing them here, but I would love to pick some up.

I dont think they have offices there. But their UK online store can sort you something out for sure.

Fantastic work as always, octopus is brilliant, can think of many uses for a model like that

Happy that you liked it mate

Octopus are amazing creatures and I'm quite curious to see what people do with this one.

Sweet, I will check that out! Thanks man.

Dayum! That octopus is off the hook. Excellent work dude.

EDC

Octopus is really great sculpted ! I also love other Your works .
Can You show the whole process of sculpting ? Do You use Green Stuff ?

Thanks all.

My favourite sculpting putty is Greenstuff and sometimes I use Milliput superfine white for building up internal volumes.
It really depends on the size of the piece but I do it the traditional way.

Start up with a bended wire as "skeleton" and then build up the muscles with greenstuf and finalize with detail/texture work.
There are other putties out there ( probably less difficult to sculpt with) but I'm addicted to the greenstuff.

NAVARRO,

Great giant octopus.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you for that Captain Brown.

Thanks for answer . Are You working on sth now ? Can You post some WIPs ?

Yes Im working on another slug and in fact I just finished it.

Some pics.

My rock giant just got a new shiny base.

Really like the rock giant , the gold stars......not so much

But but its Christmas!

That is really cool looking...

Giant snail
Rock giant looks very rocky ;P.

Thank you all!

In before the end of the year the final flail snail for otherworld.

Fan-freaking-tastic! You've really nailed these snails man... hat's off to you!

Well now that one is juuuuuuust right

I need it... how to buy??

It has been a great project, these snails are amazing and so cool, I am with RiTides where do we buy them, are they at Otherworld?

Snails of war are distributed between

Mortal Arrow miniatures - 2 first snails and the tentacled slug

Otherworld miniatures - This latest flail snail and the mega big slug.

So in total 3 snails and 2 slugs ( one of them of huge size)

Oh wow, that's interesting all on its own! Is there a connection between the two companies?

No connection just that both like oldschool monsters and insects, like I do

Little bugs

Awesome!

They are really cute.

Used my my Greenstuff leftovers to make a tree for myself.

Seriously nice tree sir.

Thank you Sir!

Any suggestions for foliage?

Cotton batting, soaked in PVA, pulled for volume differentiation and pinched all around to create planes, and shaped to sit upon the branch tips?

No foliage, just ominous rooks and ravens perched all over!

Beautiful work. You should be jealous of yourself!

I was thinking on adding some minatur oak foliage. any thoughts? Not much just some bits here and there.

You know... the oaks around here (especially the white oaks) always have leaves hanging on until next spring. I think that's an excellent idea. Ours always appear in small bunches rather than just a lone leaf here or there.

Chunk of new sculpts just in for Christmas!

Yeop, I'd run from those things too!

Thank you!!

I was quite into tyranids and genestealers maaaaany years ago, but I did a 40k pause… That was until my son was on a GW store and seen some Primaris.

So the incoming year I intend to get into a full Primaris army of spacewolves ( he likes those colours best).

Any tips or advices into building this army?

Wooo hooo! Party at NAVARRO's!

 JohnnyHell wrote:

And hanging corpses!

Great use of the running peasant figure too, adds a lot to the normal scale shots

Party indeed! I kind of missed the 40k things and a new project is always the best thing to start the year. Sorting out the look and feel of my SW… No bling bling or ott stuff all very clean simple neat style, bases high scifi, not the ussual 40k debris. I think its the Starwars influence.

Around March 2006 I was sculpting some alien figures for my own private collection. More than a decade later I would not imagine that this specific sculpt would still actually be a point of interest big enough to have it spin cast and reproduced in metal for some friends. I do sometimes wonder the longevity of the pieces I have done so long ago.

Now with so many I will repose and convert some to finally have a unit of 5 Tau Genestealer hybrids.

It's a really cool idea, very well executed Navarro. You shouldn't be surprised at all by it's longevity.

Its an oldie but managed to survive all these years, a truly resilient Hybrid,

New year new project and guess what…. Im actually painting again.

I scratch built some bases for my upcoming force. The theme for these is spaceship deck and I went with warm colours so that they contrast with the minis.
Heres the results so far.

You know NAVARRO... what consistently amazes me about your work isn't necessarily your technical acumen. I mean your fantastically talented... but I can grok that. What gets me is your creativity... where in your brain all this amazing stuff comes from. Just blows me away.

Its you guys with all the hundreds of projects you have been posting for decades that inspire my own projects I guess. This hobby is all about recycling and adjusting ideas. Thank you man.

Happy Orktober all!

I converted my megaboss and gore gruntas with the beetles that I have sculpted a year or so ago…

Amazing work as usual!

Great stuff, his armor plates make him look like he’s trying to have an armored shell also.

Now you need a dung beetle with the dung ball full of snotlings .

Oh that is a beautiful thing, or three. So nice to see some action here, and great stuff as always.

Thanks! Most of the things that I have sculpted this year I cannot reveal them yet… so soon enough there are 5 waves of multiple sculpts on the way.

Dung beetle Classy!

Ooo, you're posting again! Yay!

Always a treat to see your stuff!

Thanks! I dont think I ever posted the giant ant.

them... Them... THEM!!!

Now that is the sort of ant i love. Well, i love all sorts, but that is a very good ant is what i am saying

Fantastic!

Great looking stuff, those beetle riders are fantastic!

Thank you all.

Preparing for next year and its going to be Fungi all the way… heres the first.

Very very nice!! Your usual craft. Your characteristic sense of the weird, the alien, the grotesque. Always nice to see to what you've been up to. Always surprising, always unsettling to see what that is.
And I mean that in the most complementary way.

Not Mush-room in here for that kinda thing!!!

Excellent work as always, looking forward to seeing some more around here.

Wow tinfoil that is probably one of the best compliments that I have ever had. Thank you Sir. I always love to discover and create new creatures and like yourself its something that spices my curiosity.

@Camkierhi I will post loads of fungi very very soon.

I'm very excited about next year then!

Great first sculpt! Excited to see the weird, tentacular places this project goes

The usual season doodle is in order so…

Love these creations fella, that giant mushroom is, as tinfoil says, very unsettling, so you get a from me.

Merry Christmush to you and yours as well

Thank you Ruglud. May you enjoy the holiday season with plenty of plastic to keep you busy.

Did some bits for my Death Guard. Got some fancy vehicles, so I can Rhino rush.

PadooV and PadooVII

Nice conversions.

I heard you like tanks so... Ahem...


They look great!

Throughly enjoyed reading through the past fifteen pages of your blog! You're an amazing sculptor, do you do it full time?

Glad you enjoyed the blog. I only sculpt on my free times, long nights after I finish my 9 to 5 full-time job and take care of the kids, put them to bed etc… Usually start up around 10 most days if I'm not reallllly tired and finish up between Midnight and 1 in the morning. I do sculpt a lot on weekends to keep up with demand.
I do love it, even if most of the time is just more work. If I could pay the bills with only sculpting I would do it, but as it stands it's not a profitable venture to pursue.

Blimey! Well you've got quite the talent for it! It probably keeps it exciting though having another full time occupation and just doing sculpting on the side. Graphic design sounds great as well, sounds like you've got a good balance. I look forward to seeing what you produce in the future!

I recognize the tank from the the Russian Chemical Set, where's the other one from?

@zahnib It keeps me busy for sure. I like it that way so its all good.

@Kid_Kyoto Its OOP Forge world fuel dump terrain piece

Time for some Sunday roast Mushrooms. Finished a couple more corrupted Myconid.

Very cool shroom things

Love the mushroom guy. I want to play that game.

These couple ones are part of wave 6 the previous 5 waves are already finished and ready to be cast, so the majority of fungal creatures is complete.
Working on the last two corrupted Myconids and then another 5 Myconid heroes. Busy bee.

Fungus dudes look great, NAVs

Thanks Boss

Itching to post more but can't, not yet.

Outstanding, as usual. I love the way you create different characters with each sculpt.

Thank you. The idea for this project is that eventually this universe and characters will all have a descriptive background written but the writter is still working on this so my concepts are kind of a bit ahead of time. In the end its a flexible creative process so from the initial basic guidelines I create some concepts that will be complemented with fluff.

That sounds very promising NAVARRO. Looking forward to watching it all unfold!

Not a mushroom fan, but those are great . Could be fun to make a tyranid spore swarm with mushrooms .

I really love the shrooms bud. They are excellent.

Thanks all…Not mushrooms but just some space deck bases for my pox walkers.
I loved doing these simple practical bases they relax me.

Those are really cool NAVARRO. Wow.

Half centipede half Myconid this Mushroom demonic thing was a fun one to do.

That is an outstanding concept and sculpt. Congratulations on a job well done!

The transition up its back from scales to stacked mushrooms is particularly fun

The bases are brilliant as I would expect.

The bug/shroom is absolutely brilliant. Stunning work sir.

Thank you guys.

I did enjoy doing the bases, they are quite simple and the best of all is that they are just for my own things, so I could mess with it without stresses.

The myconid centipede was not an easy one, specially the cuts for casting but overall it was a positive job and I learned a lot with it.

Oh I was looking into painting handles and I needed a system cheap and easy for batch painting poxwalkers… I came up with 20 handles with just the raw materials I had here and cost me near to nothing really. I will post it soon. Oh and labour wise it was 1hour work, that easy!

Nurglings sketch just for fun and build up one drone with base…A Nurgle summer I guess.

Love the nurglings!

Myconid Ranger joins the ranks of fungi.

Love your myconids... they're just wonderful!

Awesome! Thanks man!

Another one this time the MYCONID WHIPMASTER

The Myconid Barbarian is born.

Bravo!

Not all temple ruins buried in the deepest forests are abandoned, some creatures do dwell in the shadows.

The Myconid Monk.

Myconid Sorcerer.

Carries the magic scrolls of the mushroom.

Oh, that sorcerer is awesome.

Thanks mate.

And a picture of the lot.

Just so cool! Amazing sculpting, as usual.
It would be fascinating to get a glimpse into your process: how you work your way up to such incredible results.

Thanks tinfoil.

The process itself is not complicated and probably other sculptors do it better and faster. The way I do it is probably not even the ideal one.

There is always a spark of an idea somewhere, either a descriptive text or something I have seen on movies or comics. Then I doodle some concept art, I love this part because most of the times takes to new places and never ending brainstorms. Once concept is nailed and Im happy with it, I sculpt it. I sometimes let the clay flow into its own shape, meaning some concepts on paper sometimes are not well translated into 3d or miniatures, the cool factor of the medium always wins it for me.

That's about it.

Great stuff, man!

Yeah, I'm with tinfoil. I think if I played a fantasy wargame I'd be buying these by the box-full. Just love them.

Thank you!

Another commission done and dusted.

The Ascomoids! Re imagined.

I sculpted 2 different evolutionary stages of the Ascomoid, one sill fruiting with a stalk and a fully matured adult.

Love those spore monsters, and great use of the running Empire guy, I'd run too!

Really fun sculpts NAVARRO.

Thanks chaps!

Fungal invasion…

That overgrown corpse! I think I need it for some dark fae KOW multibasing I'm doing

Awesome!

Gobsmackingly brilliant work.
