ParticipantWell I’ve started sculpting again so I thought I’d shame myself into actually finishing stuff by posting my progress here
Not much to see yet but here’s a picture of the dollies so far
These are all going to be monsters for Pocket Quest a 6mm dungeoncrawler.
I plan on doing the following: Othyug, Roper, Carrion crawler, Grell and a Beholder.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to pull it all of but we’ll see.
As usual all tips and comments/critiques are welcome.Cheers,
Stroezie

Participant@Mike
Fraid so( unless someone makes me an offer I won’t refuse
)
@Alexander Wasberg
Thanks, I like him to, although to be honest I picked him mainly because I thought sculpting it would be within my current skill level as a wannebe sculpter

ParticipantSomeone should pick these up for casting!
Great ‘aliens’ too as well as dungeon crawlers……..think escaped cargo on a 6mm starship……….round up time!

ParticipantOk two more this time
The Grell (easy peasy basically my 6mm Cephalod aliens but sans eye and with a few tentacles more)
And the Carrion Crawler
Came out a bit differently than I had imagined but sometimes when I’m sculpting things tend to flow naturally towards someting and I just go with it. All in all I’m quite pleased with how it came out.If you like small scale skirmish, check out http://planetares6.blogspot.be/?m=0

Participant@ Northrn Monkey
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I have never sculpted anything that was meant to be cast so I dont know if these would be castable as is.
For example do I attach the eyesalks to the beholder or put them on a seperate sprue for ease of casting?
Or maybe, there’s a cavity underneath the grell’s tentacles, do I need to fill that up first?
Are there any other thing else I should keep in mind?On the other hand anyone interested in these figures could probably tell me all of that
Btw here’s some pictures of that beholder for those of you wondering
Cheers,
Stroezie.

ParticipantThese look great especially since they are 6mm. In order to avoid IP lawyers, you may want to make them a little less accurate and change the names before casting them – they’re a bit too good. 😉

ParticipantA very productive day today, sculpted three more monsters, a purple worm, a roper and a rust monster
I experimented with using milliput and a mixture of milliput and greenstuff to test out some things I read online.
The worm could have been a bit beefier and the rust monster a bit smaller but that would be nitpicking, for first attempts I am quite happy with them.If you like small scale skirmish, check out http://planetares6.blogspot.be/?m=0

ParticipantAnother great set – well done sir – maybe that rust monster was bingeing on paladin plate.

ParticipantThose look wonderful, great work.

ModeratorWanna earn a few quid sculpting me some critters?
Drop me an e-mail sir.12/08/2016 at 15:48 #46406Paul
ParticipantThose are so cool – I especially like the Grell and the Carrion Crawler. I can’t believe you are new to sculpting. Great job!
Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!
12/08/2016 at 17:25 #46409Stroezie
ParticipantAnd here they are with some paint on them
I also included the rat and spider swarms that came with the Pocket Quest base game which kicked of this whole monster sculpting madness

ParticipantNice work – they look great painted up.

ParticipantI managed to finish another Grell sculpt, this time it’s a Grell mage with a dragon claw staff which came out a little bit larger than I intended but it still looks good imo.

ParticipantI have another green to share with you, another classic D&D monster, the Hook Horror. (I’m starting to suspect my 2nd ed.AD&D roots are showing through 😛 )
He’s proving a bit hard to photograph properly, hopefully once he gets a lick of paint you’ll be able to see the details a little better.

ParticipantVery nice work! (But for the record, it’s all downhill after AD&D first ed.) 😉

ParticipantThat’s some nice work, the mage looks awesome!

ParticipantThanks for all the positive comments guys, really helps to keep me motivated to push the boundaries of my sculpting.
Just to be clear, I didn’t sculpt the human mage in the pictures (though I did paint him😉) he is from perfectsix.
