This is something I started work on an hour before going to bed last night, so it's had around 2.5 hours on it so far so in the early stages
Still needs the upper torso adding, his hat, need to sort out the skin texture and also I need to make one side of his face have a load of bionics


Thanks,

Tom

Looks great! wish i could do stuff like this! i'll keep this one to check your progress! can't wait to see the finished product!

I want the hat to look something like this...

Looking good bro, keep up the detail.

Holy smokes, I don't have any sense of scale since I don't know how big that coin is, but it seems like a big piece to be using only GS. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but it'd probably be easier and cheaper if you used a polymer clay.

It's about 45mm. The cutting mat has a 1cm grid on it.

Wicked carrot - It's a good start mate, but i'd recommend doing less at a time and wating for it to cure fully before adding subsequent layers. You will have much greater control over the proportions and overall neatness this way. Areas of the face structure arn't really consistent with his intended expression at the mo.

Given the two colours I can see (and that you've only spent a couple of hours on it), it appears you've done it in two sittings. Slow down and work in more layers and you'll see a big improvement in the quality of your output.

Keep it up though, it's looks like it could be pretty cool when you've finished him. Look foward to seeing what bionics etc you've got planned.

Looks great, but creepy!

The main bulk was done with some green fimo over foil and I am starting the details with greenstuff He is around 45mm so far yes, will be bigger when I add the hat and torso

i have made a start on his hat, done some more to the bionics and have sorted out his brow so he looks suitably fierce

I shall get some more pics tomorrow

Tom

Slight update! I have started on the hat and done some more to the bionics
Any fingerprints/ rough edges will be sorted out as they are either a sort of foundation layer or need filing down a touch





Thanks,

Tom

Also do people think he needs more bionics on the right side of his face (your left) I am tempted but don't want to ruin it!

I think it looks fine as is. Very very nice sculpting skills you've got there. Astounding.

I think his nose looks a bit wonky so he may need a "nose job"

Tom

Maybe not so much as needing more bionics , but I think a badass scar or two, or perhaps an obvious skin graft might be called for. So far I think this is a phenominal piece of work. Can't wait to see it finished!

I have started adding some scars to his face tonight I may start the eagle on his hat! This might be quite tricky!

Here is a slight update.
I have started to work with a mix of GS and white miliput in some areas as it seems to have an interesting quality which I am exploring at the moment It has some of the tack that greenstuff has as well as being quite soft and easy to smooth out like miliput. It seems to be working thus far

Tom.

And one in black and white as the different colours might be distracting.

Really nice work, great to see some more of your stuff WickedCarrot, however there's just one slight issue I can see, the face is not symetrical,. This may not be an issue as the slightly larger side is the bionic one, and with the texture I can't tell if it is going to be Bionic, however if its going to be flesh it will look odd, however if it is bionic excuse my knit-picking, I'm watching.

M.C.

His large collar should shroud a lot of the cheak area I think, so the slight off scale of the face should matter once that is in place, but there is still work to do on facial detail

Thanks for the possitive comments!

Tom

Impressive sculpting man, one or two fingerprints here and there I think, but apart from that, it looks pretty much set imo.
Good work!

Sorry about these small step updates but I have a commission to do as well so I have limited time to get this done
Put some wire frame shoulders in place, I think they look roughly right... but your opinions may tell me otherwise!
I've tried to bulk out the jaw a bit (still WIP) and I hope I have sorted out one or two iregularities





Thanks,

Tom

Started work on his torso today after a long break, I really dont think I can get this done for golden demon with 2 days remaining but meh ill give it a shot lol

I think his head looks way to big for his body... :(

I am going to take the head off and do another head for this body and perhaps just do the head separately.
Tom

A long time with no updates as he sat in my drawer for months... but i got the urge to finish him so here he is!

Thanks,

Tom

That looks pretty good man, you going to throw some paint on it?

It looks like it MIGHT be good but, honestly, I just can't tell.

With all the different sculpting materails you've got gong on there, he looks more like Zombie Commissar.


Eric

Haha yeah, I have primed it now, gonna give painting it a go soon, hopefully it comes out well...

Thanks,

Tom

Would love to see an image of it primed.

Eric

It's primed black so pics might be a bit iffy, but lets see, give me a sec
