Obviously been wittering on about all manner of nonsense over the last few months. You'd be forgiven for forgetting that I sculpt stuff from time to time too. So, today I thought I'd share a recent sculpt. A while back I sculpted some zombies in a different style to the one I'm known for. More realistic, textured and gritty. After six of the living dead I thought I'd try something else in the same style and decided to sculpt a hammer-wielding Monk. He's been nearly finished for ages but needed a new head as the original was a bit big. But I finished him up over the Easter weekend and here he is...
Pretty pleased in general. He's 30mm tall (28 to the eyes). Should probably be out there somewhere beating the slime out of the unliving menace...
Looks like I model I'd enjoy painting. I'm very much liking your swing towards a "realistic" feel in your sculpts. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a BIG step in the right direction :D
ReplyDeleteMy favourite mini of yours in ages.
I rather enjoy it in some ways. My only real problem is I find these kinds of subjects not ideal for selling the kinds of numbers I need to given the time it takes. This one was a whim though...
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Kev :)
ReplyDeletePlease get him cast, I want to paint him.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just look at the cloth work, very nice indeed.
ReplyDeletebloody hell Steve - thats pretty bloody good!
ReplyDelete"I find these kinds of subjects not ideal for selling the kinds of numbers I need to given the time it takes"
Put a breastplate on him and accidentally have jim fit with another large organisations models and you're laughing
Agreed on both counts - excellent sculpt (the cloth work and folds are superb) and would be very fitting as a warrior priest type figure.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he'd be a joy to paint.
Is it good when I find myself painting a mini with my eyes?
ReplyDeleteThat is really nice work. I like your normal style, but this one knocks my socks off!
ReplyDeleteI have no real interest in fantasy or medieval figures, but I really want that figure...
He is fantastic. I would imagine he was quite a commercially viable figure as it would be a pleasure to paint. He is a departure from your normal style but one that I definitely like.
ReplyDeleteLOL If you don't think you can sell him Steve, I'll happily pay you a commission for it!
ReplyDeleteAndy
Love this one Steve. Most exciting thing I've seen of yours in a while. I hope he's available for sale soon.
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking miniature!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new direction you've been taking your style. You need to get him cast up and available for people to exchange for cash!
ReplyDeleteHe is in the hands of a talented mould maker as we speak...
ReplyDeleteThere should be a "Like" button in situations like this, when you don't have anything constructive to say and you just simply love what you see and want to share your feeling!
