Tombking guy...I think.


What do you sculpt, when you want to do a bust, but never did one? something ugly probably, so you can't do much wrong on the first try ;) This was a just for fun project - wanted to try the scale...

WIPs, anyone?



Sometimes, when I get a miniature done, I am still eager to sculpt and then I just grab a bit of wire and start without much of a plan. Unfortunately this lack of direction makes me lose interest sooner or later and they end up on my bookshelf...will they ever get finished?

White Lion, finished

54mm, personal sculpt


I have finished my second 54mm scale sculpt, the first sculpt i did with fimo.
I first did the basic anatomy in miliput standard, then worked with fimo over that (armor, face, helmet). Then I baked it so I could apply the free and hanging details, like the wings on the helmet, the feathers, coat, and scarp. They are done in a base of miliput and details added in fimo again. The axe is miliput superfine white, sanpapered in shape. Last details added in miliput superfine white.
I always was afraid to try fimo...looking back now I don't even know why. It's good I did my first sculpts in putty that's self hardening - it tought me a lot I think - but fimo is just so much quicker, once the armature and basic anatomy is done.
Wondering what I should sculpt next...still looking for a company that wants to give me a try. Untill then I guess I will sculpt a daemonette...or six =)
