Thanks for all the coments guys. Really appreiciate it.

@ The Good Green - Screw the Orks. Get on with Eldar, thats my advice.

@ Malcontent - Do you mean what would be the upper lip and gums of the horse? If so i intend to sculpt these sections a bit so they are more in keeping with the Dragons. Not got round to it yet though.

Here is an update of the tail sculpt i've been working on. Plus a few details such as the belt (difficult to see) the necklaces and the shuriken pistol.

Looking very good

Your sculpting skills continue to impress me.

Great work. Excellent sculpting and you've really done an awesome job of capturing a sense of movement with the tails.

Wow your sculpting skills are awesome!

Thanks all.

The tail sculpt is a bit off i think but acceptable... its also very tedious so i'm procrastinating with it... might try and finnish it this evening. I have made some progress on the Farseer (extra cloth, singing spear) but i am waiting on a bits order to complete him so will post more at a later date.

Til then.

Great job!

I personally would love a step by step on you cloth technique, particularly the sache/belt -

I wouldn'r really know where to begin. Its really just a process of pushing the GS around till it looks right. That and knowing what looks right. Also i use cooking oil to lube my tools... it works really well.

Next time i do something similar i will try and make a tutorial, no promises though.

Update on the Farseer... Bit more work to do on the spear and cloak on the right arm. But other than a base hes pretty much done.

C&C welcomed.

FTL

WOW....the Farseer is beautifully done. The robes are great.

As is the dragon knight at the top of the page.

Farseer looks really good as does the dragon rider. You have any plans to paint them up anytime soon or are you getting all the sculpting/conversion work done first?

Thanks PDH.

For those interested, the Farseer is converted from the middle guy in the pic below.

Wonderful sculpting! The farseer has beautiful details but the proportions are a bit off. If you removed his dragonscale cowl his neck would be obscenely long. And maybe buff out the left shoulder he currently has rather bowled shoulders. Sorry this is just my freakishingly attuned eye for proportion. It's what often lets down amazing sculpters like yourself. I can't sculpt detail for golden peanuts but i can usually get the proportions down. Finally though proportionally he is fine maybe make him a tiny bit longer in the legs; your other figures are wonderfully elegant so i would consider it to fit him in.

Well i'd love to but i have too many other (non hobby) projects on the go. For now i just do a bit here and there in between other things... painting is a whole other deal. I don't even have any paints so it would also be a bit of an investment in both time and money.

Something for the future.

Ah right, can i ask then, do you just keep what you have modelled or do you sell the pieces?

I thought this my self, but i just wasn't sure... thats kinda why i posted it allready, to see if any one else picked up on it. I will try and edit the collar a bit... letting me get the head close to the shoulders. That should sort the problem.

As for the left shoulder... that makes sense when you can see the back of the model... his arm is drawn quite far back which at this angle gives the illusion he has sloped shoulders.

Thanks for the tips.

These i will keep... as i do want to paint them eventually. I am thinking of doing commision sculpts/conversions though... you interested?

FTL

I have too much to complete at the minute before the missus will let me spend more money on toy soldiers lol. However i think you should get yourself a webpage set up as you have more than enough gs-fu to be able to get the commisions in!

I will look into that... thanks for the tips and compliments.

Interested in commission sculpts? Mc-Eff yea!

I've been watching your work and these Exos are top-notch! If you had examples of other non-eldar pieces, I'd love to see them before I commit.

Actually i don't right now. I've just got back into the hobby after a 10 yr absence so i'm starting from scratch. I've never used GS before 3 months ago and i just felt like giving it a whirl.

I do intend to do a few more example peices... Can i ask, what might you be intrested in seeing?

FTL

Non-eldar, humanoid-type still. Nothing too different from what you have now, but I'd love to get some usable in-game copies of videogame characters and the like - Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed... hell, even a futuristic samurai original sculpt off of a concept drawing I make out... (like your exo footsoldier's pants? - AWESOME) the list goes on, but for right now, the main characters for those two series are what I'm most interested, as they've got application in my nearest projects.

Ok. Well watch this space... i'll try and do a few more different types of things in the future.

FTL

Hey, far be it from me to commandeer your P&M... the stuff you create is fantastic- no doubt about it. Keep doing what you're doing and interested in doing- I'm sure I'm already sold on your Exos!

Keep up the good work- I find your pretty-much-from-scratch sculpts really inspiring for my own work.

Not at all. I have already considered the possibility of commisions so it makes sense to expand the portfolio.

Thankyou for your kind words and encouragment.

These are so cool. You're quite talented. Keep it up.

I love the rune armour on the Farseer - really cleanly sculpted. Could you run through how you did it as I'd love to do something similr. Thanks!

Looking good! Can't wait to see how you paint these beauties.

This whole thread is awesome!

The exodite Farseer rocks! Would you do a commission or post a tutorial? I might be interested in one.

Been a while, but i've been working on this as my entry for the pimp 40k contest. Thought i'd post it here to for some faster feedback. Still WIP... getting there though.

FTL

Is that sculpted on the new dark elf sorceress? thats brilliant! keep up the nice work

Inspiring work mate !!! well done especially on the second exodite!
