This is a very impressive sculpt.

Honestly, the part that I dislike about it is the women. The proportions are those of surgically-enhanced pornstars, and seem designed to appeal to the sexually frustrated. They (as well as the balloonlike boobs on the body) detract from the effectiveness, scariness, and artistic quality of the central sculpt, which is otherwise impressive (and disturbing), with definite shades of Giger. Giger's nightmare female/sexual creatures didn't include elements designed to be attractive, IIRC.

If the artist had made the women and the "body-boobs" more realistic, this would be a really impressive piece, and something I could easily see displayed with other works of frightening art, like Giger or Goya.

pretty much what I was trying to say Mannahnin
Again send the sculpters to life Class instead of a subscription to porn sites.

for those that think the concept is just for 13year olds

What is the scale on it?

35mm I do believe.

The female genetalia and tail phallus definately push the model "over the top" for me. Lets not even consider what gloss havnish could do to this piece once its painted.

I have been wondering how you would paint such a thing, do you paint it to be evil? Or would you paint it to be sort of a peaceful, all knowing being?

too bad they are now sold out, i'd have bought one

Oh great, they've made a tentacle rape miniature now. So that's one less thing I can value western sculpts for over Japanese sculpts.

And what's wrong with tentacle rape?

Nothing really, it's just another form of porn in the end.

And what's wrong with that?

I obviously do not place a very high value on pornographic sculpts?

It's not as blatant as some japanese sculpts I've seen at least, but meh.

Aaargh take the bait dammit!
JK. Intellectually stimulating conversation is fun, innit?

Without the boobies and the v slits and tentacles, it would make a great 'overlord' character. Very freaky with all the arms and face. Maybe a little conversions and you got a norm queen or something. Tervigon? LOL.

I actually loled at the Tervigon idea.

Do it.

overlord? if you're going that far i'd lean more towards silent hill myself

This thing just oozes 'Silent Hill', if you find someone with a perverted-enough mind...
*wide grin*

lol

Well, I like it. I would not buy it, but I do like it, and now I'm interested in the Kingdom Death mythos.

lolololololololololololololololol
Hey I just found a new DP (and no not that DP)
I always wanted something that keeps the kids away from my mini table!

Honestly I don't think KD cares if everyone in this thread who said they wouldn't buy it don't buy it... It sold out on Day 1.
Well I'm sure it matters, but you know what I mean right? Anyway I totally agree with you, I want to know more about the Kingdom Death mythos. And I want to see more models.
And on the upside, to those who don't like it, the blatantly sickosexual niche has seemingly been filled by this piece, so I doubt we'll see it again to anywhere near this degree...

Well I'm sure it matters, but you know what I mean right?.

I do. More importantly, though, I guess I should point out that although I wouldn't buy that specific model, I wound up going to their site and seeing models that I would buy, and one that I will buy - the Twilight Knight.

Pinup or other one? I liked them both, but I'm too broke to buy any of them...

well this was terrifying to look at before bed.

I think that those represent bull testicles, not boobies.

And that's better... how?

Pinup. I dread painting the cloak, because I am terrible at cloth. Flesh, I'm not so bad with.

That's not really a fair comparison. Tentacle rape hentai exists because there is a certain group of people that it sexually arouses. I seriously doubt the sculptors intended anyone to be aroused by this Wet Nurse model. Not all nudity is sexually arousing, as I was informed the last time I went to a public bath.

That is nicely detail model, I personally think it's beautiful.
Takes quite a lot to freak me out, and this isn't anything to shocking.
I think the model would find lots of love with today's collectors.

Now that's a true horror miniature, a real piece of art. Not something I would want to paint or own but still... Respect to the creator!

I'm not too bad with the flesh myself, if you know what I mean...

Its an excellent comparison. Thats pretty much what this thing is.

I'm 12 and what is this?


Seriously, you are one SICK bastard, Kingdom Death!

Well made but not my scene.
