WIP Fantasy vignette

[Elia]

Hello all,

I thought I'd try to sculpt a fantasy vignette, my version of a "I slayed the beast" type of thing where the monster is dead and the hero/heroine is proudly standing next to it. I don't have an exact idea of what the final posing & setting will be yet. The scale is 1/8 and it's sculpted in Chavant.

I've started sculpting the head of the monster: more bone than flesh, big teeth & I though it might have its eyes covered.

Thank you for looking. Comments welcome, as always.

All the best,
Elia

That will be one huge monster and as usual superbly sculpted.

Thank you for your kind words, Dejan! I really appreciate your support.

I haven't decided if it will be the whole creature or just the head - I'll sculpt the head & see where it goes from there.

 

[Elia]

The head is more or less finished - now all I have to do is sculpt a monster body to go with it!

I thought at first that it would be just the head but Dejan's (Dekiman) comment inspired me to do the whole thing. If I could draw it would be a lot easier to come up with a concept but since I can't it's going to be done the hard way. Oh well, back to the clay it is!

All the best,
Elia

Great one .
I especialy like a broken teeth in monster mouth.
It look very realistic.

Hello all!

Following a few failed attempts I finally settled on a spider-like body to go with the monster's head. Texturing was done by cross-hatching and then applying alcohol to smooth the surface and finally using a texture pad made of Sugru. I'll mold the different parts of the creature (head, body, legs) separately. Next step: figures!

Thank you for looking. As always, comments are welcome.

All the best,
Elia
