Seeing as there is a distinct lack of female designs around I figured we could have an all female vote this round. I tried to pick a variety of options but as you're probably aware most of the designs ar...

Just a quick one to let you know about a few little quality of life changes I've made to the structure of the collection.
To save you all the mucking around with sizing I've added versions of each design in 32mm scale, ready for dropping straight on the table. The larger 54mm dio/display sc...

I think that's about it for blocking all the major stuff in, I've been playing around with treatments for robes just trying to get a rough idea down to work off when I do a proper pass over all the pieces. Some of the cloth has been left out, it will be easier to do certain bits once a pose is so...

I've been messing around with a heap of different shapes and just keeping them pretty basic to see what forms work together. I'm liking where this is at so far with the exposed torso and the length of the robes, it all seems to be playing together nicely.
I've given the head another pass to...

Only a small update today, I spent the entire weekend setting up a long overdue pc upgrade to get off the old dying laptop and back to a proper desktop. This should allow me to work more effectively now and get more out of my time.
Anyway a bunch of proportion changes happened on the face, ...

Not a whole lot going on yet but I wanted to put a face on him to get a better feel for the design. Ideally you know what it is just by looking at it, I dont want to go full skeleton because then there is nothing to separate him from a standard 'undead' monster. The underlying muscle is sti...

Well that was a landslide victory and I gotta say I'm pretty excited to tackle this one!
I've got 2 boards because there is so much cool art to take inspiration from and a few different directions it could go. I really like the mix of fine armour (maybe with some necromancer vibes?) and flo...

After a bunch of discussion and lessons in discord about the lore of Nothics I decided the original attacking/swiping pose I had in mind really didn't suit what these guys are about. So now he is creeping about, watching you intently from the shadows...

With the Nothic pretty much at the posing stage I figured I'd get a vote going instead of boring you with another slightly more detailed image. The requests keep coming in and I'm more than happy to run ...

Had some great feedback on the first blockout of the spikes! Took it all on board, looked back over the moodboard and ended up here. They are now longer, fewer and more like a bony protrusion than 'spikes'. I'm liking where this is going now, definite improvement over the first lot.
2020-08-10 12:40:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Alright we have some more progress on this guy. The head has had a full make over, proportions and general anatomy have been tweaked, teeth and claws have been added and a basic layout for the spikes.
Before I start sculpting them in properly what do you think about them? Not enough? too ma...

Little update on the Nothic with a first pass on the proportions and general shape, still plenty of tweaking to come as this moves forward. After looking at the pics again there are a few things that are already jumping out - Jaw line is too human, legs might need to be bigger with a higher pelvi...

The Nothic finally came out on top!
I've been wanting to do this guy for a while now but it always only just lost out. The official design is cool but I'm really liking the tweaks bottom right pic throw in, the venom style tongue is nice as well but I'm not sure if it would fit without play...

It was asked for, I had time, so why not.
A Death Kiss variant with retracted tentacles has been added to the collection! I've only just finished it, no fancy renders or anything yet, just straight out for you lot. It uses the same base to keep things simple as well if you wanna swap ...
2020-07-27 08:55:11 +0000 UTC View Post
The Death Kiss has been prepped and is ready to go!
In my typical style, at the full 54mm scale it's close to maxing out the standard photon/mars build plate but it fits as is with no need for chopping for it up. For a bit more of size reference it's just as big as the Beholder!
Round 10 already! So many things have been chosen that I never would have thought of but we have ended up with some awesome designs because of it, let's keep that going!
Running with mor...

I know it doesn't look like much has happened but a lot of mucking around has gone into adjusting the tentacles so we can have a proper basing option that doesn't impact the look of the mini. The last thing I want to do is have a dirty big pole sticking up into his head, it needs to feel like it'...
2020-07-23 12:23:06 +0000 UTC View Post
This is hard to show with only images so I've done a quick 360 to give you a better idea. I've attempted to orient the mouths at the end of the tentacles to limit any need for supports on the teeth and adjusted the overall tentacle positions for better flow while still touching each other. It's a...

Alright! As promised here's that second Sorrowsworn, this time it's 'The Lonely'. He's a pretty creepy dude but he's waiting in the collection when you're ready to check him out.
Enjoy!

Started blocking in for this dude, I'm trying to come up with a solution for the tentacles so they support each other somewhat with each tentacle touching at least one other while not making it look like a mess. It's a bit rough at the moment but I'll keep pushing it around until it plays nice. 2020-07-18 00:53:27 +0000 UTC View Post
The Death Kiss came out on top but that was vote for vote right up until the end!
Not a whole lot to mess with on this one, the original concept is already really cool and has a great look to it. The biggest thing will be the origin of the tentacles, I like how they drape down over th...

Remember the Oblex? It was commissioned from one of my local printers as a special request for a customer, well he's at it again. This time it's for some Sorrowsworn, 'The Hungry' is the first and there will be a second one coming.
Enjoy!

Time for the next vote! All of the picks this round are requests I've had from you lot and I gotta say there are some pretty cool options here. I'm interested to see what comes out on top!

Everything is at a stage now that I can start polishing, posing and adding the final details. I'm thinking chain-mail for the darker areas on the arms and I want to try adding some fur to the cape - maybe along the edges? Once the pose is locked in I'll make the head/weapon variants as well to ge...
2020-07-07 10:19:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Alright I've done a heap of proportion changes to move the design away from the overly bulky cartoonish look it had and started detailing panels. It should all move a lot faster now all that is fixed up and locked in.

Just a quick one with a more updated block out, still need to work out the major cloth elements but it's starting to take shape now!

You wanted to see early WIP images so here it is! I know it's nothing overly exciting yet but that's just how hard surface modeling starts out, having a good clean base goes a long way. It lets me adjust proportions and shapes without needing to worry about panel lines and details, those can all ...
2020-06-25 11:50:30 +0000 UTC View Post
This should be an interesting one, it gives me a chance to do some heavy hard surface modelling rather than the usual organic stuff. While I do really like main guy in the center I dont particularly have a plan for the overall look, I done a bunch of similar 'armour' work on a project a few years...
