Warboss conversion - he\'s big an\' mean!

[jamsessionein]

The side of the boot and strap is done because it\'s just too difficult to sculpt a proper armor plate over the front of that shin, and plasticard isn\'t cooperating.

Sculpted some pants on, though they\'re pretty bare at the moment. I basically didn\'t know where to sculpt the folds and such, so I just covered the musculature underneath as best I could. I will touch areas up as best I can after it\'s all set and dried. I wanted to add stitching, too, to the sides and such, but I found that to be particularly hard to add so I just left it alone.

I figure the spots that I really botch I can cover with an armor plate or two, in any event.

I would appreciate people who might understand cloth/sculpting better to maybe do a drawover or two, as I\'ve found in past they really help me get a proper image in mind.

Re: resculpting the head, yes, that\'s what I had in mind. If you look at my original sketches you\'ll see that I planned on bulking the top of the head and cheekbones out into a proper ork face.

Sculpt the loincloth a bit higher up, and fill in the gap in the torso with what will hopefully be abs.

Here\'s my weak attempt at sculpting folds in cloth!

I\'m just blending what used to be the lip around the top of the boot into the pants progressively, as it actually makes a decent blousing effect around the top of the boot. Also, you\'ll probably notice a few seams, but this is due to inconsistencies in the GS - the \'folds\' I sculpted are a different shade of green than the pants underneath, leading to some visible edges that I assume will vanish with primer.

More will come once I get back in the mood. I\'m thinking of putting a small rectangular armor plate riveted to the pants on the top of the leg towards the knee. I\'d add stitching if I had any idea how.

man, he really is big and mean!! :wow:

I felt brave enough yesterday to sculpt some stitching, so I did before I went out to see Ghost Rider (which I enjoyed, though I think I\'d like it better with the sound off).

 

[freakinacage]

[WingZ]

[dracon magis]

[Jericho]

The leg\'s really come a long way since the first few pics. Gonna be a great big beast of a model, I\'m looking forward to it

 

[uberdark]

MORE PICS!!!! WE WANT MORE!!!!

keep it up man.

 

[jamsessionein]

More will come on this shortly. I\'ve run out of greenstuff!

 

[freakinacage]

quick - someone send him some!!!

 

[uberdark]

ok i am sending some to you ... email me your home address your credit card number, your first born and lots of cherry flavored pez. oh and dont forget your soul. then i will get you some green stuff. howz that sound? lol

So I recently managed to get some more greenstuff and work a little bit on my warboss\'s beautiful feet. It\'s not much of a leap forward, but I like keeping up on all of my developments, particularly the unlikely ones like sculpting. My blog has been keeping me really busy over the past few days, too, as I set it up and go back digging through acres of forum trying to put my old projects on there. Still, I expect a lot to get done over Spring Break.

Next comes the capping off of the bottom of the foot with a plasticard sole and detail work similar to the other boot. I\'m trying to not even think about how I\'m going to sculpt the pant leg on this side - that loincloth in the way is going to be a definite problem. We\'ll see what happens.

 

[uberdark]

ok now it has officially been 12 days since we had an update!!!!! i am getting impatient. where is it.


we want more. we want more. come on guys say it with me.

 

[jamsessionein]

I\'ve been slightly sidetracked at the moment with a project I am working on for my girlfriend.

 

[Larre]

that frog thing? I say.. paint an hour on your gift to your girlfriend. then sculpt a bit, then paint a bit, then sculpt a bit... you get the idea
