Today I want to show you the second blocker - and probably the weirdest of the bunch - the Fishman.
I'm not really sure how this idea came to me and what inspired it, it just happened during one sleepless night earlier during the year. A Champion of Chaos that may look comical, but is actually dangerous and cruel - spindly human legs diappearing inside a metal fish costume with bulging eyes, with a strange head and elongated arms, nobody sure where does the armor creature ends and the armor begins.
Contrary to how simple he may look, he was really tasking for me to sculpt... Different layers of sketches, empty mouth, different parts made separately, only to be glued on later, arms made out of Milliput sticks joined at the joints with wire to set the pose properly, the textured, hammered metal - it was a lot of work and it was probably all my fault. He may have turned out too fat and too big, but I accepted it and I'm happy with him, all things considered.

Kolejny udany ludek. Czekamy na więcej!
ReplyDeleteWielkie dzięki! ;) Powolutku się produkują i w końcu się pojawią ;P
DeleteThat's brilliant. He looks absolutely mad and very medieval. This team is going to look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I spent too much time on them, so I'm really glad they're turning good and people like them ;)
DeleteToby dobrze pisze. Ma toto urok średniowiecznej fontanny.
ReplyDeleteKolejne ciekawe porównanie do kolekcji ;) Jak tak piszesz, to aż się zastanawiam czy na kamienno go nie pomalować, ale on już został jednak zaprojektowany i wyrzeźbiony jako blaszany :) Dzięki za komentarz!
DeleteUspokoję, że z fontanny ma rybi design, nie "kamienistość". Blacha będzie jak znalazł!
