Daruk Swiftblade, improvements wanted!

[XenosMini]

Greeting people!

Hmmmm... last mini from the factory:

Any idea to improvement the fig is welcome, thanks!

 

[mattrock]

In my opinion, the blade is a bit overwhelming.

 

[mattsterbenz]

I like what you have going so far, it looks great!

Couple of things:

-The fur on the belt. I think it would look better if each of the locks of fur were shorter, but include more of them. Right now it looks like a grass skirt.

-The weapon. I\'m not really a fan of big blades, but that\'s more of a personal issue. I don\'t know if he would be able to lift a weapon that heavy!

Hope this helps! Everything else looks very good. Keep it up!

-Matt

Is that weapon gonna end up like that Klingon 2 handed thingy?

I agree with what everyone else has said so far.

The blade is way too big in my opinion it just looks like a big double sided....thing.
Other than that it\'s looking good although maybe you could tidy up the musculature a little around the chest area?
Also the ears although in the right spot look a little bit big but that might just be the photos.

Hi guys tks for your comments!

@Matrock, Matt
The blade is supposed to be a flying sword, not a close combat weapon, like the flying sword of the big guy from Ninja Scroll movie.

Also the skirt is made of natural fiber and grass, Daruk lives in the jungle so a fur skirt could be very hot!

@Dan
Hmmmmm... a Klingon sword?

@Gobbo
Ok, also im thinking in add more putty on the chest and make it look more stronger.

Also im doing some animal´s teeth encrusted to the body and a bone´s necklace. Maybe a CC weapon like a sword knife or axe (men is hard do this thing!)

Later more pics. Thanks!

I think I know what you\'re going for with the blade, but it\'s just not working for me. It looks a bit more like a propeller than a blade. As for the accessories you plan for him - I think that\'ll definitely be good. I look forward to seeing what you do with him. It\'s certainly light years beyond my own sculpting skills!

It might be cool to shorten the width of the blade and invert the other side. Overall it\'s pretty awesome looking. He\'d look great painted with over-highlighted musculatur and blue tattoos (It\'s so cliche but I still think it looks awesome.)

p.s. dont like the blade either.

the pointing hand it far too big, and the blade is too big and out of proportions. but appart from that theres nothing wrong with it!

Greetings people!

After a long time, more updates:

Working on a new Switfblade (the other old sword got lost! ).

@Funny
Ok, you get the idea.

@nick
Yes, i reduced a little the size of the hand.

@Matrock
propeller?

:beer:

 

[XenosMini]

More updates people!

Added a big warhammer stone.

Also added a Necklace with a skull and teeth.

 

[DaN]

I meant this thing - a \"batt\'leh\" or something.
Like Worf uses

 

[Obar]

Lol I particularly enjoyed the overly dramatic text about the obviously dangerous \"martial arts weapon capable of decapitating a victim\" lol

 

[mud duck]

Especially judging by the look of the thing that it doesn\'t have any sharp edges or points for that matter lol

 

[XenosMini]

Hi people!

After a long time here is the finished Daruk Swiftblade version:

Comments are welcome!

@Dan
That blade is home made, right?
