This is my first properly sculpted miniature. I know I have so much to learn, but it is incredible fun - and that's what it is about, isn't it? :) For my first sculpting project I chose to do a hooded bounty hunter type of guy with a French greatcoat (inspired by Martin Baker's Bounty Hunter).
Now without further ado: Ty Cain, Gierburg Head Hunter.
Sculpted with ProCreate (hence the grey green).
I have to admit I cheated on the head and the hand crossbow: They are taken from Hasslefree Miniatures' bits section.
Work on the next mini has already begun and I hope to post some pictures soon. It is time I update the sculpting section of the site. More pics will be up there soonish.
Now I really can't wait to see this guy beautifully painted by Tom. :)
PS: The base is - like all Gierburg minis - from Fenris Games.
Hey! your version of the 'Bounty Hunter' is very good.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first sculpt!! :-)
The position is very dynamic.
The texture of the clothes are well and has many details.
But I think the anatomy needs work.
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteAny news reg. the Gierburg-Rules?
Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteI know there's so much I have to learn. What I find especially difficult to sculpt the realistic drapery of cloths. I keep on practicing. :)
@Yitu: The rules are well under way. Everything is written up now. I'll be having a few games very soon, where we will test the first draft of the basic game mechanics and after a few more games - somewhere in early 2010 - I will start running a playtest campaign to see how it all comes together.
ooh....when I can I get one Cianty?
ReplyDeleteHe he, thanks for your interest, KRUG! This one will not be cast. It was always a mere training piece for me so I didn't consider making it castable. This allowed me to do the dynamic pose I wanted to do instead of worrying about castable planes. Maybe I'll improve enough on the next one to make it worth casting. But for now I consider them training pieces.
ReplyDeleteTraining is always important and for your first sculpt this rocks, dynamic, good clothing, just try to catch more anatomy in the future - his shoulders seem to be a bit too low...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouraging and constructive comment, Roman! The mini is sculpted around an armature so I thought this wouldn't be a problem. I later noticed this too, though. He does look a bit camel-like around the neck. :P
