Today I started my next commission, a single character for the RPG 'Deathwatch'. I was going to have the marine kneeling, but this would have blocked too much of the space hulk style base the client asked for. From sprue to this, around 7 hours, including sculpting:

Cool, could you upload a pic of the greenstuff on the shoulder?

Also where is the backpack from?

The back pack is a Dark Angels Veterans one, as is the right lower arm, bolter (and strap). Found the power fist in a bitz box, not sure where it's from. The head is from the Black Templars set.

Nice looking marine. I dont know if the Auspex really works in the power fist though....seems like he would accidently crush the buttons on the thing!

Thought I'd try some OSL to liven up the black. I reckon it's worked OK. This is done, unless the client has anything else to request...

I like the free hand on this but otherwise, I dare say I am not all that impressed honestly. The lighting does little for the model, and though I see you did namely line highlighting it is almost unoticable, and should have the have some points, a little more defined in highlight so as to allow the model to show out better. The shoulder pads red is well horrendously bland, and has little in depth to it. I know this is a commission, but I am sure for the price you are probably charging them I would think you could go a little further, and bring the model more to life.

I have to disagree! Wonderful work!

Nice job! I love what you did with the screen.
