Malanok Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hello All! I am a daemon player and my brother has been bugging me to join for a little while now, however I did not want to come here empty handed so I decided to sculpt my own Daemon Prince. http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2009/246/6/5/Malanok_Model_Painted_by_Malanok.jpg I am very much a "dabbler" and try my hand at everything including writing... The model is of Malanok, one of my characters. A tad tall I will admit, but he is supposed to double to a 54mm inquisitor model... and Malanok is supposed to be taller than most people... Malanok P.S I also have an unpainted version of this pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Zaku Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Um, is it finished? I certainly hope not. It's a damned good start though. I would recommend a LOT more muscular detail on the arms, face, and chest. As it is right now, I'm thinking Pokey and Gumbi are going to try and skate their way into CC with me...stupid claymation rerolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malanok Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 It is finished. It's terrible I was the first to say so. I know that I missed out on a lot of detail, but I don't care. As a first go with a new product (milliput) I don't think it went too badly. I have never sculpted my own model, I do not sculpt in any other way and I know no one who has ever sculpted their own model before. Hindsight is a beautiful thing isn't it? If I had known from the start that the underarms would be that large, then I would have increased the spine length. If I had known that sculpting arms the way I did would lose the elbow joint, then I would have increased the angle between the fore arm and the upper arm. If I had known how tacky milliput gets after 1/2 hour, then I would have had more water to hand. The list is endless. Please take no offense, I am not having a go, I am saying that these are things which I have learned from my mistakes. There are many things I should have done before getting "stuck in", but I didn't and I am the one who has to live with it. *shrugs* Don't worry, I am a much better painter then sculptor ^-^ Awwell, one down, over four more to go. (Don't worry, I am building on a generic 54mm male for my next one so the physiology should be better ) Mal P.S Thank you Solid Zaku, for "shooting straight" I would rather you tell me then just smile and wave. Also I would like to apologize if I sound as though I am moaning, I don't mean to ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Important Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Well It's a good start. If you would try again to make a new Daemon Prince I am sure he would turn out great. It's about practise. I've starting to train myself to make my own prince. Keep it up and you will triumph! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firenze Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 How much of a wireframe skeleton did you do, if one at all? Its a start. I do artwork and my stuff used to look like a three year old did it. Itll come to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malanok Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 ^-^ Thanks everyone! I'm going to be making upwards of four more so I think I will be getting enough practice :) How much of a wireframe skeleton did you do, if one at all? I made a basic skeleton out of paperclips, literally just a stick man (with elbows and knees, but no head) standing normally glued to paper then wet the paper to move the arms around when sculpting (worked quite well apart from his left leg required another paperclip jammed into it over the knee to keep it straight, like a bracer)... I wish I had taken a photo of it... Mal P.S I hope I improve anyway, this one is shocking... (I'm proud of it, but it is bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
