Yeah, I'm really Lost and Damned. Especially now that LatD went to search for the lost (sheesh, those bad puns just keep on coming, don't they...) Squat Beer Festival. But once you're Lost, you're Lost for ever. And Damned too.

This is supposed to be a miniature for my GD entry sometime in the not very distant future, part of a lager squad of very special Big Mutants (like there's any other type). He's named Wharghhh. Or will be when I finish him. Still very WIP. Forgive the poor quality of those photos, I can't be bothered with assembling a light tent for WIP's.

Eerie. I see some concepts in the back, any complete ones?

He looks really cool and he pulls off the mutant, chaos look very well.

Hah, just this one as you see him here. I need to attach the right hand, add piping and rivets and do the wires he has instead of legs. There's going to be Mr. Tank and Dr. Smokey too but they exist only as concepts as of now...

Gotchya, very nice so far. What are you using to sculpt?

I'm not sure about the body but the cylinders on his back look a little like cork. Do I win?

No cylindrical smoking item for you. The body was sculpted with Brown Stuff from Reaper and the canisters with Magic Sculpt. The chippings on the canisters are intentional. That's why it looks a bit like cork now.

Bwaahahahhahahah!

Happiness is a blog by HMV. Digging this dude's head, and his just generally big mutant stature

Ridiculously good to see more from you man, keep it coming!

Looks incredible so far, I'll be eagerly following this build!

I already like very much what I am seeing here. that head reminds me of resistance, and I havent even played the game.

keep it up

The photos are pretty good and far away from piss poor. I would be glad if erveryone here could come to that standard. What bothers me a bit is his pose which is not really aggrisve. And I suggest more metal shining through some where. He got the 5 stars on creepy chaos monster but you should keep in mind that GD are one recently by a lot of free hand works (the more the better it seems not a trend I like) so tatoos maybe an option here.

I've made some progress with The Freak. All of those wires are hand made since I couldn't force strings to stay the way I wanted them to stay. But it hurt. A lot.

And, unfortunately, the effect is far from what I expected. Maybe, when finished, it would look better but sometimes it's better to avoid the Rhino Syndrome (as in rhino, the animal and not rhino the vehicle, for those unfamiliar with the term). One should stop and review it's attempts. As a result this concept was born.



The crouching, spider-y pose fits the thing nicely and, more importantly, allows me to avoid the look of a fleshy Necron Wraith. I would value any advice as to the route I should take here.

Spooky and fairly original, with a french feeling twist. What a treat today's visit to dakka has been It clearly works to take some time off and then have heaps of coolness to witness.

Wow, very nice. I didn't care for the whole mess o' hanging cables idea and seeing your new concept sketch I strongly urge you to go in that direction.

Dude, that is simply amazing. You have some excellent ideas there, and, well, I'm speechless.

That looks great, but to avoid the wraith look, will you put brownstuff around the wires?

Scap the wires, enter froggy legs. Still nedd to do the feet but other than that, the fleshy part is finished. Now for the pipes, wires, mechanical joints and stuff like that.

GOOD call on that one HMV, I was hoping your revised sketch was going to become reality. Pity about the time and effort that went into those tubes, but I think the crouch of doom is much better for this dude. Look forward to the addition of cybery bits, and his tongue again

You should cast and sell these. Seriously. I'd buy alot.

very cool.

altough I realize that you're still in a very eraly stage, I can't shake the feeling that he looks too naked. IMO it needs a lot of cyberbits.

Before, the model looked awesome despite the enormous traps and disproportionately small arms because of the "wraith-y" pose. Now, with legs, the atrophied arms bother me more.

Still absolutely stunning work, though.

Edit:
Eh, actually the arms are a huge part of what makes it original.

Not much of an update but still...

NICE!
now that's what I'm talking about. the holes in the skin make it look like something from matrix somehow.

Love this guy. What talent!

Can't wait for the feet and final pose.

Nice sculpts! I will have to keep an eye on this.

Speaking of which HMV, how are those minotaurs coming along? I need me some naked monster fighting (and not with GeeDub's ugly cows ) ...

WOW! Awesome, it reminds me of the Angels from Evangelion

Absolutely amazing. There are lots of pretty, well-sculpted minis on the forums, but this is different--this is art.

Any more flattery and I'll be starting my own church

Another small update. More wires jabbed in, alternated back sockets and three screws screwed into the neck. There's going to be lots of those in the knees and elbows.

They're wandering in the Chaos Wastes searching for someone who would cast them. The only polish company that does casting on demand acts a bit... silly, so I'm currently considering other, foreign possibilities. I assure you'll be the first to know when they're available.

Excelent to hear, and good luck with less silly casters.

The beasty here is looking better and better
