Here's the next WIP shots, still lots to do, adjust face proportions sort out the eyes (I ordered some steel ball bearings so no more sculpting eyes necessary woo-hoo), ears, details and some texturing. I couldn't stop myself doing a bit of texturing a little prematurely though and I think I managed to achieve a good result with the skin, a simple 6 stage process which looks fairly realistic. When all this is done and baked I intend to remove it from the base and create a smaller base to extend the bust to the top of the chest, then the cloak and bone necklace will be added and the bust completed and sent off for casting.

WIP Stage 2

So anyway, I hope you like it. I decided to add an elephant man type cancerous skin texture on him add some additional deformity.

GOOD NEWS!!

I am officially releasing this guy myself under the banner of "DFB Studio", this will be my first piece so its pretty exciting. This will be availble from my website but I haven't had much time to make the website look pretty, luckily Freewebs does allow a shop which is where i will be selling it from. I will be trying to arrange for someone to stock this in the USA as well to get the cost down on postage for everyone on that side of the pond. The bust has just gone off to Grey Matter for casting today so it should be available soon. I will be looking be a talented painter to do a studio paintjob, i have someone who might possibly be free to do it and if not i will be looking for one on here.

As to you not being able to paint them, I would say don't dismiss the idea so easily. I am thinking of the painters as much as I can when i do any sculpt. There is enough size here to allow you to get some brushwork going on without needing an incredible eye to see it and steady hand to make it neat, the surface are of the skin should be easier than 30mm miniatures and the fur cloak is perfect for drybushing. There is plenty of details without it being overly complicated and fiddly. I would rate this as something anyone could paint. Believe me, its the first thing i do when i get a mini is look it over and moan and groan about having to paint all the complex stuff that made me buy it in the first placeI!! have just purchased a couple of busts myself from the tales of war pirate range, very small - 50mm head to waist, looking forward to doing them, but they will still test my skills a bit due to the size.

Check out his other models, he is a really talented guy (thats why I chose him!!!) some nice other stuff in there, from a variety of companies. He is sculpting a cool orc bust at the moment as well but I am not sure if he posts on other forums. I may well be doing an orc when my current commission is finished to as it happens.
