Wow! You scratch-built that? Impressive! I thought for sure that it was based on an already existing resin model of some sort, because it is soooo nice. Great job!
I had a blast making it. It’s now the biggest model I own! He’s quite a beast.
I tried to combine concepts from the art in Monstrous Arcanum with that of the art in Tamurkhan. I am pretty happy with how it came out, though the lava could use some better highlighting! I sort of ran low on time. Heh.
It is AWESOME! A great example of how very simplistic sculpting can make a great model.
If you are looking for suggestions for improvement, I would personally have gone for reverse highlighting on the fire/lava for a more realistic effect. Also, the eyes and nostrills could use some glow to make it look burning within.
And the base doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of your army which could pose a consistency issue.
Otherwise great work. I actually voted for it at the Golden Hat Competition
Bah, my brother was right, then, I should have had a WIP pic in my entry! I thought everyone would know it was scratch built!
I’ll definitely take a size comparison shot.
@Kyte:
Thanks! It is pretty simple sculpting, I focused on general shapes and basically sculpted the main body in one go. The head was a little more involved, but turned out alright.
The painting is fairly lacklustre. I didn’t have enough time (or the correct paints) to really bring the lava to life. I had intended to have the eyes glow, yes.
My existing army is more or less complete, and it’s really a Ravening Hordes army. This Destroyer would be for a LoA army, which I might start building slowly, over time through contests and things.
