look who i made... by mistake

nurgles_warrior — GMT

hello all new guy calling in with a sculpt i did. this was origionally meant to be a true scale terminator. but as with me it went slightly wron. this was mainly the scale of the legs. so i decided to do a "diorama" of a termi. but this is where the fun comes in after i made everything but the arms i realised that their was a resemblence to one guy. so ill post pics and if anyone can guess who it is (pointing out he has no hair because i cant sculpt hair ) will get a cyber cookie.

also a scale shot

What is that thing on the right in the last picture? I'm guessing something nurgle? Oh and for the main guy probably meant to be russ, could be horus though, looks more horus to me.

Seems to me like you can't sculpt much else either....

It looks, very.... blobby in places. For example it looks like he has some kind of tumour on his right thigh and i'm not sure what's going on around his crotch. It's an okay first try, but too many times I see people trying to do too much too quickly when sculpting, and this has it in spades.

Sorry.

What kind of comment is that? I'm sure he wasn't posting his model negative responses like that..
It is blobby at places, but why not say something like '' It looks good, but I think you should sculpt one section at a time, adding all the details to that before proceeding..''

I thought it might have been horus at first, but I guess it's russ.

So we can only post positive comments now? If I don't like something I will say why, not just post "ItZ Teh SuXXX00rZ Hurr!". The legs look like they're made from dough for example, if anyone says different they're kidding themselves and not being honest. Why is it people want others to be shielded from criticism, constructive or otherwise?

If you put your work up on a public forum, expect comments. For good or ill.

with the legs it is hard to show the detail because they are made out of sculpey, and no lie my camera dosnt seem to want to work with that colour. also a bit of an update i have now completly covered the cape i fur for that "ive killed a wolf and ive draped it over my back" look. also i have worked on the wolf piece which is hanging from the side of his leg

well, while i do not think it is as bad as grimtuff makes it out to be, there is more detail to be added and others to be smoothed out. when you can, post finished pics

I cant help but laugh every time I look at what Im assuming is supposed to be a tabbard in the first pic...

But on a more serious note, look into getting some greenstuff or milliput to sculpt with, and a set of basic tools will help out loads. There are quite a few sculpting tutorials on this site so you can learn the ins and outs of working with greenstuff and achieving your desired effect.

How hard is it to understand that you can give negative criticism without attacking the thing?

Nurgles_warrior - consider mixing some black and white femo (or sculpey 3) into the beige super sculpey... it helps with pics, stiffens it up a bit - moreso if you use femo - and is better for seeing detail. Or, look up sculpey firm, it's 100x better than super sculpey.

Anywho, the sculpt isn't perfect but if you like it, then go with it. Keep practicing and, most of all, take your time. With something like sculpey, you don't even have a cure time to work within, there's no reason to rush it. Focus on one area at a time, get some reference shots if necessary and really double and triple check that you're confident you've done the best you can before you bake it.

To Grimtuff - get real, its obvious the piece needs work, there's no reason to be a dick about it. I don't know of anyone who says, "yea, I really want some un-constructive criticism on this piece." What's gained (other than you convincing yourself that you're increasing the size of the e-penis) from being a total jerk?

Did you use spare bits for the GW parts or did you buy kits so that you could get certain bits? I'm just wondering because I do both so...

Some WIP pics would be great too.

Uh oh, quote war coming on.

There's nothing wrong with criticism so long as it's valid, polite, and constructive. Grimtuff's was exactly that.

look who i made... by mistake

LeBaron — GMT

Oh, no. This is not a quote war and you are 100% right. I think criticism is a great way to help get a perspective on your work and to help break up the blocks that we get while making our art but, as you have said, "so long as it's valid, polite, and constructive" in which statements like "Seems to me like you can't sculpt much else either...." don't fall under.

No one here started this hobby as if blessed by God himself so that each model he touched was a work of art that would make da Vinci weep from start to finish. We all started some where, we grew with help from those around us, and eventually became better.

You can tell someone they need to work on their skills without invoking the 'greater internet theory'. It's true. I've seen it.

Fafnir — GMT

He mentioned that it was a good start for a beginner, what was good, and what could be improved upon. If he just said "Seems to me like you can't sculpt much else either...." and nothing else, that would fall under impolite in my books, but since he went on to point out points of failing and methods of improvement (basically all boils down to patience), I'd give him this one.

LeBaron — GMT

As an over all, I would say it's acceptable but still firmly in the realm of douche. It's less 'you're a bad person and should be scorned for this' and more a 'just try and not be such an ass' that we're getting that. That's the real thing that's being said IMHO.

I base peoples 'criticism' kudos on the amount of work THEY post for comments..

0 Gallery images = 0 kudos. It's like taking advice on social 'norms' from say....Hannibal Lector

By the way- Love the work- whilst it may seem a little 'blobby'- as you stated- more detail to come.

Nice, and 'outside te box' thinking!

great can't wait to See the rest.

BTW i don't want to continue anything but I'm totally with LeBaron and BlackRam on this one.

War gaming is a community and people can't succeed without positive feedback, constructive criticism if fine but don't be a cock and then glorify it, it's just a hobby.

I'd rather people tear my models apart, rather then simply say "that's great."

I always feel insecure when someone says whatever I do is great without some form of criticism.

nurgles_warrior — GMT

wow argument or what lol theres no need to argue i took in what he said and i should point this is the first full non nurgle sculpt i have ever done so any help is appreciated. plis i have had a lot worse critisism from a guy when i just started the hobby about 5 years ago

lebaron the GW parts i have had left over from my SW termis and over little bits came from the great bits box.

also i have gone and done the clock and am at this moment (12.13) sanding down the blobby bits and am looking for more space wolve bits so pics should be up later today

Quite right about constructive criticism it is necessary for us all to grow as painters and modellers. But it needs to be fair and balanced, and above all end with a positive note so that the individual feels empowered and motivated to carry on and improve. Blanket praise is as bad as blanket negativity!

(I'm not looking to argue but) I feel I should comment on that just to say, I would rather some one to say ''this could use more spikes'' or ''that needs a little sanding'' than either, this is the happy medium that community wargamers come to.

Re:look who i made... by mistake

okay guys ive taken in what critisism i have been given (managed to find them amongst the comment war ) so i have spent the majority of the day sitting and looking, sitting and looking, sanding ,adding more, details and i have taken the model apart into 5 sub parts to make sur ei sand everywhere and that i can get to all the spots while painting. so here are the pics

have worked into the fur cloth hanging over his right leg and have sanded the piping on the legs

i have completely covered the cloak in fur now and am possibly going to adds some over details, cant think what though so any ideas

i found out today that thin dryed sculpey can break easily when being sanded so i had to work into the loincloth, with this i added some more folds

with the legs i have sanded and sorted out a problem that was buggin me. i realised the greeves i made were too low so i cut the gilded edges of a SW storm shield and added them on to make them the right size. and really it seems to work. bit of filling some little gaps and it will be good to go. (well the lower half)

also i have started to make a diorama of a renergade and a imperial guard fighting. the lay out is the imperial is running towards and the renergade has fired and it has just missed. im not sure how to reperesent this (a bity of wire painted red and having lighting effects on the imperial guard where the beam is. if anyone has a beeter idea let me know.

and for the hell of it
<-- needs a guote

lolssss very good very good

one idea i got was a speach bubble saying "this is why my brother didnt joing the guard"

or

"if im not back wait a few hours untill it has to go" dirty but funny.

with the pics of the renergade and imperial the cat is watching sooo it could go "khornes kitty watches battle for amusment"

right time for a tiny update.

mainly this is letting you know whith russ ive decided to magnitise him so that he can be switched between display and gaming base. this caused a few problems as the sword armbecame a little further out and so did the cape so i have scupted the cloak a bit more to fit onto the model and same with the arm.

as for the duel i have started painting the base as i managed to spray that before my can ran out.

pics will be up hopefully by the end of the day.

wow, high jacked thread alert lol!

As for the sculpt mate, if you smooth it out you will be heading in the right direction. nothing worse than finding a finger print in you sculpt when you come to paint it.
As someone said the pinky stuff does look a bit blobby. May i suggest you get yourself some brown stuff, similar the green stuff but a bit more robust, and easier to sculpt a more defined shape (IMO).

The fur looks a lot better. Directional mess (like hair) can get really messy if you don't do it with a purpose and a plan, which I think you did. Good improvement, keep it coming!

For future reference, you can use 91% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to smooth the super sculpey.. Pour a bit in the cap, then just brush it on with a small brush. Just be a bit careful to not get too eager with the brush, the alcohol actually sorta dissolves the top layers of the clay and makes it sorta slimy. Too much pressure with the brush and you'll wipe out your detail work. Of course, this only works before you bake it....

Edit - not to prolong the argument but, while I agree with Fafnir that I prefer genuine comments over "cool", someone just being a dick about it is really discouraging even if you're a confident artist.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Man that argument was dumb. I was going to say elephant man when you said guess who it looks like. That is because I thought it was meant to look like that because it was said for nurgle. Anyways I thought it looked great although a bit lazy. Not to say that you are lazy but I assumed it was not finished. I think some easy modeling things to spiff it up a bit would be bubbles and boils. I find if you buy plastic bbs and stick them in the sculpy they make great bubbles and if you pull some out it will make great boils.
