First-ever sculpt: Blood Bowl Witch Elf Sideline Reporter -- WCQ 2010
I finally made my first foray into fully sculpting my own figure: this is a Witch Elf Sideline Reporter I sculpted as the tournament giveaway figure at this year's West Coast Quake, an annual Blood Bowl tournament I run alongside one of my league mates. She's sculpted in the 28mm (to the eyes) scale; she technically comes in at about 29.5mm to the eyes (just shy of 32mm overall), but that was planned due to the size of the platform soles on her boots. Her left arm (with the microphone) is a separate piece for casting, glued on for photo purposes, and joins at the bottom of her shirt sleeve. For those not familiar with the game, Blood Bowl is a GW game based loosely on American football (with a bit of rugby thrown in) that's set in a satirical version of the Warhammer Fantasy universe. The game can see chainsaws and steamrollers on the field, and the background fluff provides for broadcasting of games, via crystal ball, by such networks as ABC (Association of Broadcasting Conjurers) and ESPN (Extra-Sensory Perception Network) -- thus a Witch Elf holding a microphone in a fantasy setting isn't nearly as anachronistic is it might first appear! Of course, the Witch Elves and other femaies in GW's Dark Elf armies usually have a pseudo-S&M look to them, so it made sense to me to dress my sideline reporter in a similar fashion to that worn by my female friends at the goth/industrial clubs in which we hang out. If interested, I had a WIP for her here, although I ended up not keeping up with it nearly as well as I'd originally planned.
