Great sculpting! I love your approach too.

I'd worked with Green Stuff on a small scale before, but when a friend wanted a non-standard Demon Prince, I said, "Yeah, I can do that," and dove right in, just as you advised. I would recommend anyone who wants to get better at sculpting do the same. The only way to get better is by doing it.

I'm curious, when you did the eyes (which look great and characterful), did you do the sockets and fill them with the eyes, or model the sockets around the eyes?

I found that the Green Stuff was holding its shape well enough so I was able to simply model the depressions of the socket around the eye, it made for a pretty nice looking eye, although purely by chance.


So, if I'm reading (and seeing) it right, you modeled the eye and socket together? They look great in any case. Also, from the few times they show up in your pics, I have a feeling I'm going to love the simplicity of tools you made. Any chance of pics?

Wow! Just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see this guy finished and painted up.

Well of course you can't see where you joined the parts and patched it with greenstuff - you're obviously more than a little skilled in the GS department . The painted up finished product looks excellent. Great work!
