concepts, sculpting & figure painting

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Unfortunately, this figure lay unfinished for a long time and other things came in between.

And you know what? After I put it in my display case, I realised that the reins and stirrups were still missing xD

WIP: Harada Sanosuke

Finally found some time to overwork this figure. I've added a lot of plastiform to reach the right length of his hakama. Now ist needs to dry.

Collier (WIP): Midgard-Snake

Sculpted with Polymer Clay. Painter with black and turquoise matallic acrylics. Guess ist will need another layer paint.

Does Acetone melt down monster clay; leaving a smooth surface, or is it something else?

I have not tested acetone yet. But 90% isopropyl alcohol smooths the edges well. I've also tried lighter fluid, but it quickly makes the monster clay muddy If you use too much.

WIP: Lias

Finally found some time to sculpt her belt

WIP: Princess Zelda and Harada Sanosuke

There is a lot to do...

Both figures are at least 5 years old and still have some mistakes, which I am currently trying to correct.

If I would model them again, I would do some things differently - but I'm too lazy for that at the moment 😶

I have now sanded off the biggest bumps, next I will remove the grey layer of paint.

Zelda is the smallest figure I have modelled so far and measures about 18 cm.

WIP: Calador - testing different coloring styles

I wasn't sure how to go on painting him. So I first made a few attempts in Photoshop.

I think it will probably be the fourth attempt with the black cloth. This is the closest to my original idea of him as a mixture of a black knight and a motorcyclist.

A lot of work in progress

Here you can see all the figures I am currently working on 🙂

Top row:

All figures in the overview. From left to right:

Calador Erskine (OC), Lias (OC), Zelda from "The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess", Diego from the PC role-playing game "Gothic", Harada Sanosuke from "Hakuouki" and Skeld (OC).

Middle row:

Calador Erskine, aka the Cannibal, and leader of the Leal'Dhearg and the base have received their first coat of paint.

I always imagined him as some kind of dark knight (but mit in a positive way), that's why his clothes are kept dark mostly.

Bottom row:

This figure of Lias is about 3 or 4 years old and I never was happy with it. Now that I've redesigned her clothes (for like the hundredth time), I want to update the figure as well. I hope that she will come closer to the current concept that you can see in the picture 😊

WIP: Shredded translucent Wings

Making translucent "wings" with a colorshift effect for my demon Amael.

[thumalin]

WIP: Tricksters - Amael the four horned

His base ist finished. But many details still need to be worked out on Amael, his wings and the birds are missing...

Sculpted with Super Sculpey Firm (base), Super Sculpey Living Doll and Fimo Doll Art (Amael).

Painted with Army Painter/Vallejo acrylic colors.

WIP: The Witcher

Another experiment with Monster Clay. Trying to sculpt Geralt and Roach.

[thumalin]

WIP: Masked Nheyra

Trying to get along with Monster Clay 😅

Concept of a catlike creature called Masked Nheyra. Its a mixture of my favourite catlike carnivores: Puma, Fosa and Jaguarundi. And a bit of a Smilodon.

Base: Seal of Amael

Sculpted with Super Sculpey Firm.

Painted with Army Painter/Vallejo acrylic colors, usung 'the shifters' for the oily looking liquid.

Coated with acrylic matte lacquer.
