Got into uploading the inferno tentacles. Started as fun sculpt and ended up as commission.

Put your hands and tentacles in the air.



then run for you life

Man, you've come a long way since your "everything is buggy" days!

Very nice stuff!

Just went through your blog page by page and truly impressed. This tentacle horror though, amazing, just amazing. It's like a crazy scary Dr Who creature, but realistic

Cool. The tentacle monster spawn beast is amazing. Great work.

EDC

Yeah I come a bit away from the tyranids thing for some time now, I think they look quite boring these days.
Which means I can carry on with my sculpting but just on different things.

Glad you liked the Blog Ruglud I have been checking yours too and your tree frame is crazy good.

Thanks Evildrcheese

You sir are inspiration personified.

That tentacle beasty is amazing.

I have credited (blamed) you for some of my latest. Not even close to you, but your fault I had a go.

Never stop.

Great tutorials. I'm late to the party, but the whip tutorial is fantastic.

Wow much appreciated man. Glad you did give sculpting a go, the learning curve can be a bit hard when you start but hopefully past that its quite good to create your little miniatures.

@Warboss_Waaazag I will try to do some more tuts next year so the party is still going and hopefully will continue for a long time.

Hi guys I just finished up my illustration for the usual Xmas card for this festive season.
Have a good one!

That's fantastic Navarro...

The sculpt is amazing, Navarro! How many commission sculpts do you do a year, out of curiosity? I'm impressed that you're able to balance it with your own army project, nice to mix it up

I went trough a period of doing lots of commission work but my life changed a lot and very quickly so I stopped it all for a couple years. Slowly when time permits I do a few just for the kicks. I will try to sell the rock giant and thats about it for this year. I have the feeling next year everything is going to change again so I may end up with just the time to do my personal things. In short all just happens to be an accident these days

Wonderful work Navarro! I am subbed now to both your blog and your dakka plog

Thank you Lorax.

Alright guy this time I finished up a huge mini. The Rock Giant.































Big chap and wasted me loads of putty

Very nice! I can hear RiTides salivating as he draws out his wallet already!

Another excellent creation, Navarro. Why is it that you used Greenstuff instead of Milliput or Brownstuff (or a mix of the three) to sculpt the rock giant? It seems like a massive amount of effort to shape edges as cleanly as you did, considering the rubbery consistency of Greenstuff.

Same question.

Oh and where do I get one?

All of the interior is done in wire and Milliput and used GS for the exterior visible rocks only, the reason I choose to do so its because I want this model to be really strong and ready to be cast in anything. If I went for the milliput only approach I would be seriously concerned with its brittle nature. It only takes a fall to dent all the milliput sharp pointy bits. I also took this opportunity to train my skills at making sharp edges in GS.

Still not sure if this is going to be for sale at any store but Im working on it. Wish me luck.

Good luck mate. The rock giant is really cool!

All your stuff constantly blows me away!

Looks fantastic and much better than the former FW orc-rock creature. Can't wait to see it painted... but am willing to do so if it means you'll be having it cast

Since it's such a giant model I'm not sure it'd be that profitable in the end, but it's awesome! And even a bit dynamic in pose somehow despite being made of rock

Much appreciated both of you and happy 2016 all!

Some extras for my AoS Gobbos,

Going to use the giant as my rock lobber stand in, so I added some crew gobbos.





Full crew with bully



So with the rock lobber done and with the doom diver cleared I only need to convert a spear chukka.

Amazing work. Just checked the last page, now need to go and read the entire thing - I think I last checked when you were doing the awesome 15mm stuff?

Looks like I'm in for a treat!

Wow thats very impressive, I hope someone decides to cast this up for you for retail.

That Rock Giant is just stunning and furlongs ahead of a lot of the stuff I see being sold by some actual minitatures companies these days. Superb work. Deserves to be cast and painted.

Good news!

The Rock Giant got sold to Otherworld Miniatures, so soon enough it will be available to all.
To be honest this mini raised much more interest than I first anticipated and there were more companies on this run, at the end of the day I went for Otherworld just because Im such a fan of that range that its a pleasure to see the Giant among such great catalogue.

Its going to be called Ice giant and thats the cool thing about this mini, its really up to you to paint it and depending on the colours you go for you will end up with very different results.

Some quick photoshop for colours

Rock


Ice


Obsidian


Crystal




Cheers

Very nice! Congrats on getting the model placed!

I love the color recommends for the rock monster. I especially like the looks of the obsidian and ice versions, I will be on the look out for this when it becomes available. As always, I am patiently waiting to see more of your amazing work.

Congratulations sir!

Congrats fella. A beautiful piece of work that really deserves to be made. well done

Thanks! Cant wait to have some casts myself, I will convert one of them with some extra spiky stones and different pose.
