I must admit, I like all of your sculpting work you have done. On top of that you back it up with some superb designs on paper which really help you see how your mind works when planning your works.

That cabinet of yours looks fantastic and I imagine once everything is complete will become a focal point for visitors trying to look at all the cool stuff inside.

Also thanks for showing it as I was looking for one myself and lo and behold Ikea here in the UK does that very same one!

Good job!

Tzarinchilla:

Thanks I really appreciate the support. The cabinet is awesome by the way, and cheap.

Soul Grinders:

So after talking reading a sugestion by Morthai on Warseer, to remove the spider abdomen from the sexy grinder I had a vision. What if I make it like a Siamese twin type thing with two upper bodies fused together at the waist with six striding legs.

They could be back to back. Or perhaps embracing an with their hands extending past them. I'll have to sketch this up! But man my mind whirling now.

Daemon Princesses:

The DP head ended up being a bit to big but the face wasn't to bad. So I'll be taking a little of the top, the chin and sides. The funny thing is I scaled it correctly, but as I adding putty and carved away it just grew.

Seekers:

Casting on these has proven sucessful! I have like 36 awaiting riders and lances.

Slayers:

I converted all 12 daemonettes into running poses. I still have to cast there "Bliss Giver" swords. I may add horns or stunted wings to these. I'm not sure yet. I need something to make them different and bring them, into the own.

Thanks again for all the comments.

Soulgrinders One pregnant lady on the front, big gun/firing hole on the bellybutton as you drew earlier. Another lady behind her in the 'patrick swayze/demi moore 'Ghost' movie' embrace (conveniently covering rude bits?)

This whole blog simply reeks of awesomeness and win.

Did you look any further into this?

Typhus:

I did do some sketches using legs similar to those. I've since decided to go with more organic looking Soulgrinders. Thanks for posting the pics though.



A couple of other ideas to bounce off you guys:

Horrors:

Daemonettes with an techno-organic blasters. Instead of two crab claws, they would have a gun arm and a humanoid hand. How many of these do I need, anyway? 12?

Changling:

This one was easy to come up with. Racy daemonette in a Commissar cap, and jacket. Yeah...yeah...I know it cliche. But mine will be flashing her

well, instead of the hand cannon deamonettes, I think you should make your horrors gorgons, like medusa scept without the snake hair something like these, where their eyesbeams are their weapons, that or make gorgons flamers, as they are more insta-death than horrors:

This whole thread is amazing. Sersi you have some mad crazy talent! Your creations are brilliant! I can't wait to see your daemon princess fully modeled, and the soul grinders are really exciting. I can't wait to see the pictures!

The soul grinders are so exciting in fact, that hopefully it won't offend you if I "borrow" the pregnant belly idea for my Slannesh/EC defiler...
I'm planning on converting to look a bit more demonic than the out of box-defiler. My concept is to keep it more machine than demon; replacing most of the defiler torso with a more organic torso, and use your idea of the pregnant belly gun. creating something hopefully more giger-esque in appearance.

Amazing stuff, keep up the great work.
Very inspiring!
I'll definitely be checking back often for updates.

Gameandwatch:

Now see I can always count on you to bring the inspiration. Those pictures are just what I needed, I was just thinking to myself that the gun thing was not going to work. Which would be scarier a winged snake breathing magical fire or a hot daemonic chick with blazing eyes? I honestly don't know the answer, but now I MUST make both....

Eygji:

Please feel free to use any idea or designs you see in this thread. They are certainly not all my ideas.

Darkkt:

Thanks for the suggestion. I am definitely going to sketch out to see how it looks.

Gotta love hot chicks with blazing eyes

Okay Updates:


Keeper of Secrets:

Just some minor tweaks to this model. The nipples were to small so I made them more puffy? I also replace the nipple ring. Anyway she just needs some studs down the back of the right leg and another nipple ring on the 2nd tier of breasts left side. Other than that she's getting washed, sanded and primed today.

Before:



After:




Daemon Princesses:

These are also essentially done but for minor detailing. These shot shoe the final head that I will be molding today, unless their are any objections. Note this isn't the final head. Once cast they will each get unique heads with different hair, tentacle, and horn arrangements. I also decided to keep the features fairly subtle to allow for easier modification. This head can be easily modified to a nose-less Diaz-style daemonette head or a more more human set of facial features.

Daemon Princess # 1



To Do:

1. add some additional rivets to the armor.
2. add laces at the sides of the armor.
3. add buckles to all the armor straps.
4. finish smoothing and sharpening the armor plates.
5. add a Slaanesh symbol and trim to the harness clasp (disc).

Daemon Princess # 2



To Do:

1. add some additional studs to the arm and leg.
2. add some additional wrinkles to the loin cloth.
3. add a Slaanesh symbol as a brand to the left thigh.

Daemon Princess # 3



To Do:

1. finish her sword and add a dagger to a sash at her waist.
2. add choker and spirit stone belt.
3. add a additional piercings.



More Later!

i dont like the way the DP's are pouting. otherwise nice.

OH. MY. GOSH.

Never in my life did I think I'd see something so frigging amazing. [As far as modeling goes at least. ]

I really liked the original soul-grinder idea. You could make the stomach tear obviously not a vagina by positioning it high on the stomach, with plenty of normal skin between it and the model's nether-regions. You'll never get away from the connotations I guess, but that's kind of the idea anyway. Just don't give it lips or fangs.

Updates:

So, I worked on converting some of the little guys yesterday; while waiting for the silicon molds of Soul Grinder bits and Daemon Princess heads were setting:


Daemonettes:

Just adding a little more diversity to the troops. Weapon swaps and re-posing, etc.






Seekers:

These are still very WIP! So mold lines, seams and pin holes galore. The mix-match of colors are due to GW plastic, resin casts, and gray Aves putty.








Pleasureseekers: "Counts as Fiends"

Just a dismounted Pleasureseeker. She been needed a boob job, so I finally hooked her up.




Slayers:"Counts as Bloodletters"

Okay, so I went cheap on these and just swapped the claws out for Dark Elves swords instead of going the custom route. Hopefully, their reposing and paint job will sell them as Bloodletters. Their will ultimately be 12 in total, I'm still waiting on a 3 more boxes of daemonettes.
















Wryms: "Count as Flamers"

I finally, got around to working on the last two of these. I'm only making 6 as I've come to the conclusion that two units of 3 deep striking is plenty for 2,000 point games. Besides I still have the mold so I can always make more.

Amazing stuff, as ever. I particularly like your take on the flamers.
Your posing really is exquisite. It captures perfectly the combination of arrogance and sinuous grace that is Slaanesh.

This stuff is truly amazing. Your sculpting skills are phenomenal!

WOOOT!

Ah....headz...at last!!!


So I got the basic heads cast, yeah! I'll be changing the expressions on each, and adding different horns, hair, and detailing to each. I plan on doing 5 different heads. And yes, space marine lovers there will be a screaming head!

So, the completed kit when cast up will have lots of options: you'll be able to select one of 3 poses, you'll also get 5 different heads, 2 sets of arms with and without claws, and three weapons choices, along with removable magnetized wings. I'll also have custom conversion available upon request with alternate poses etc.

Here are a few mockups I knocked together with different horn configurations: (Note - these are done with soft clay, so they're just to give an idea of size and placement. The really horns will be sharper and less droopy. )








Anyway let me know what you'll think. Got an idea for a horns, hair style or facial expression post up a picture.


More soon: Soulgrinder pics, etc.

Oh my, These things are just beautiful !

You really do have some amazing talent, the flamers poses are so nicely executed !

Well done

Have you thought about having the horns flow slightly backward, kinda like hair instead of point forward, just makes me think more slaanesh and thats like your KoS...

Just a thought...

Okay...progress!

So, like I was saying their will be at least 5 head variants. For now they'll be based of the same basic head. But since the face looks a little to bland. I will be modifying the expressions for each into either something more aggressive or more seductive.
These are still WIP.








This was a first attempt at a screaming variants....note to self must get reference next time.... Is it just me or does this not look like a blowup doll mouth?



So, what do you think is this working so far? Or am I way off base with these?

...


Changing gears. I got a box of grave ghouls to convert up for my "Tormenters of Slaanesh" er...count as Plaguebearers. Anyway I was looking through the WF minis as came across this guy.



I think he's a perfect example of where to go with them. Black leather and a heavy S&M theme. Lots of piercings, chains, and manacles etc. I just love the peaked hood. Okay, so the little dude on his chest is kinda lame...but still.



More later...

I like the uncountable number of boobs and asses on this army ...

Everything looks really great so far; I can't wait to see the sexy-grinder posted.

Have you thought about doing the tentacles for hair thing that the older, and in my opinion nicer, daemonettes had going for them, on your daemon princesses? Looking at their horns, I am thinking they might benefit from having the non-symetrical horn with flowing tentacles of the older daemonettes. I always thought that made them look extra creepy, yet alluring.

First off, impressive army, not often you see this much work put into a force and its paying off! Second, if its not too late I think you should leave the pregnant soulgrinder's face uncovered. If youre up to the sculpting challenge theres a lot you can do with the emotions of her face, straining neck, etc. Besides if the face is covered how are you going to paint her eyes rolling up into her head in pain/ectasy?

Have you considered using full/partial masks on the princesses? I'm thinking something along the lines of severina/sevora from the inquisitor line...

that screaming daemonette looks like a blow-up doll........

Yeah it does.

And to second Wehrkind, I was also a fan of tentacle hair.

Oh there will be tentacle hair and asymmetrical horns. There might even be some daemonic floating Mohawk hair action as well....cause I'm sick that way! Not to worry though when I'm done with them their expression won't be so similar, and the face of each should be substantially different.

when your finished with these are they going into prodution?
its just the way you mention head varients ect

Oh yeah the Princesses and Soulgrinders will be for sale at some point, as well as the seeker mounts.

Cool you planning to put them up on Trollblood Miniatures? Lots of great stuff here although my poor old computer is having a heart attack trying to keep up with the pictures. I really like the fallen angel theme you have going here. Have you looked up the Hell Dorado line? They do some figures with almost exactly the gaping stomach your planning for the soul grinder.
