Techno's WIP pics of 'Jim'!

[Techno]

I'll prep Jim for surgery then 
That's you and me Kev..... that aren't convinced..And Nik's a definite 'don't like'

Well....I did say he was the Lord of Entropy didn't I ?....I agree...think he will look better with an arm rather than the tentacle....Calamari anyone ?  (YUK !)

Cheers - Phil

Calamari anyone ?  (YUK !)

Stick it onto a well, grating or pool of water and you've got a "nice" surprise!

Stick it onto a well, grating or pool of water and you've got a "nice" surprise! 

That's a great idea 

I should say that I think your sculpting is excellent - but the tentacle does look out of place now & makes him more cartoony than evil...and I reckon he'd be good evil

Here's the final updates to 'Jim':

Final of shots of Jim front and back before taking the tentacle off:





Tentacle and shoulder pad off....Blood everywhere...Unfortunately mine, not Jim's...(I will not make cuts towards myself...I will not make cuts towards myself...I will not make cuts towards myself...etc.....Bet I damn well will !!...Just give me a few months to get careless again.)
Start roughing out arm:



Shoulder pad replaced..(Might have to do that again...It looks a bit scruffy now)...Continue with arm/wristband...Make 'former' for hand.

The hand bothers me a little....I think it may prove too much of a swine to cast in that position....If I don't think it will work as is...I'll turn it into a clenched fist holding either a severed head, or a bag of 'treasure'....Casting wise I'm confidant that that would be fine.


Left hand ground down before doing the hand 'properly'..."Come on over here if you think you're hard enough !!"......add a tiny 'smidgin' of putty to the lower jaw.....Hopefully that just leaves the shoulder pads to neaten up now:


If anyone's wondering why I've used different types of putty...(Leon was)
I've just used those to give a bit more contrast in the parts of the model...hopefully to make things easier to see

Jim will have a friend very soon....Who'll be much more "10mm".


Well...When I say done.....I've just got to neaten up the spikes on his back:

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Jaw droppingly good!
You know his first 'quiff' head still needs a home!

[nikharwood]

Coolio mate, coolio 

[Techno]

Thanks Lemmy, thanks Nik !!

Quiff head.? Not really sure what to do with that....Maybe on a base at some stage, like you suggested ?.... I think I might find a use for the tentacle though.

Cheers Phil. (Now I can get on with 'Colin'.....I must start thinking up proper names !) 

[Squirrel]

Awesome Techno, just awesome

Looking forward to Colin .........

Cheers,

Kev

[Techno]

Thanks to you too Kev !

Like Jim, Colin's gone just a little bit 'oops !' here and there at the moment....So I'll pester poor Leon to pop the piccies up as he progresses.
Feedback is just SO genuinely useful !

Cheers - Phil.
