space wolf Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 So those of you who have checked out my chapter in the Liber Astartes section know all about him. (shameless plug :) ) Anyway, I'm using the SW rules with this chapter, and wanted an equally dynamic model to match Logan Grimnar's. So this is what I've come up with. I'm having trouble figuring out what to ad on him to make him look more impressive. I'm a pretty good hand at sculpting, but I'm just out of ideas. Got any? http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/Anubis1.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubis3.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubis2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigggy Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The thousand son kits contain a lot of egyptian-style stuff, It may be a good idea to try them.

CosmicCreations Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Good pose, although in that last picture, the Torso looks really awkward to me, maybe it looks ok in real life. To make him look a little more dynamic how about some flowing purity seals coming from behind him? the ones of his legs look good apart from their direction, I can see them fluttering behind him as he's running not wrapped around his leg, perhaps a few of these http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/product_info.php?...roducts_id=4841 Other than that very nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2225900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I would have the legs a bit narrower, as he looks a little like a ragdoll gone bad, which makes the running pose slightly awkward. Take a look at the more dynamic Terminator legs to see what I mean. The green stuff work is solid, but still needs sanding to look more like armor. And the purity seals should be flapping in the other direction to support the pose you are going for. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2225982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys, I took your advice and switched around the purity seals. I've also added a few more details. Please keep the comments coming. http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubisfront.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubisleft.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubisback.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubisright.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/anubisshoulder.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2226432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I love the idea, and maybe its just me but he looks like he was charging forward and tripped and is trying to catch his balance. Again it could just be me... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2226510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 A good improvement, although the purity seals still look too flat to me. They need to be 'flowing' behind him, at the moment they're just hanging down still. The GS work does look good though, well done, sort those seals out and it will look spot on ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2226617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

space wolf Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I totally agree with you. He's actually not glued down on his base, so right now, he looks like he's either stumbling or trying to sidestep something. However, once I glue him down, he'll look a little bit different. Since terminators cannot sweeping advance, I always thought of them as kind of lumbering; and when they charge, they don't so much as run as they do bound. When I'm he's glued down, I think you may agree that he looks like he's bounding. That being said, its amazing what an arm or a leg which is off by a few degrees can do to the whole feel of the model. ++EDIT++ some of you guys replied, while I was posting ;). His arms are long. but if you look at a terminator they aren't exactly proportional. If the guy was to stand up strait you would find, his arms are actually the right length. As for the purity seals, I'm still working on them. Some of them should be just kind of haning there though, because he's bounding, so there is an up and down movement to them as well as a backward one.

space wolf Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 So I adjusted the purity seals further, as well ad adding a new one close to the models head. Additionally I adjusted the back leg so he looks less like he's dragging it behind him. Keep the comments coming, they are most helpful. :cuss http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1248.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1249.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1250.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1251.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1252.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2226887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 actually his arms are indeed too long, he would be grabbing his feet. But its okay.

cathar the great Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The seals look very good, but the GS armor still needs more sanding and trimming. It has almost no hard edges which makes it look more like goo than armor...

space wolf Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I actually haven't sanded or filed anything yet. I usually wait until I'm done converting.

space wolf Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 So I'm just about done with him. I need to sand him a little more and I'll be ready to slap some paint on this bad boy. I added some additional "ropes" around the left shoulderpad (chapter masters always have really "busy" armor, and his just didn't look "busy" enough. http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1258.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1254.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1255.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1256.jpg In case you're wondering, his fluff says he claimed a choppa scabbard from a particularly fierce warboss as a trophy (I guess he managed to find a use for it <_< ). http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1257.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2228691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Epic posing mate. I love the detailing, and how the shoulderpads seem as though caught in movement.

Elrond Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Awesome so is that meant to be Logan Grimnar or not im a little confused Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2229587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon de Gravier Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Awesome so is that meant to be Logan Grimnar or not im a little confused No. This is the Chapter Master of Spacewolf's DIY chapter 'SONS OF ANUBIS' (i think). Spacewolf wanted to create a dynamic model like the Logan Grimnar model and so he used it as a source of inspiration.

Captain Lucas Raziel Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 ^_^ looking good, but can i suggest a cape? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188063-chapter-master-anubis-pic-intensive/#findComment-2229633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Cap is right, its supposed to represent Logan in my DIY. As for the cape, they always make a model look good, and I'm not bad at sculpting them; but they are just SUCH a pain. So I'm really trying to stay away from one. (not to mention I really doubt any marine would go into battle with a cape...not very practical. :) ) At any rate, here are the pics. The painting is all done. Now, let me just say, that I'm better at converting than I am at painting. And to be quite honest, my camera has a way of picking up all the worst details of the model. I don't know if its the gold paint or what (my shaky painting hand may not help :D ); so be gentle, it really doesn't look so bad in person. (of course I'm sure that's what they all say.) http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1265.jpg He has eye tattoos. They are the black tears of anubis, signifying the loss of the first chapter master http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1266.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1267.jpg His sca http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1268.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1269.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1270.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1273.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/irchris5000_album/IMG_1277.jpg His scabbard was taken as a trophy from an ork warboss.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It's not that bad ;) I especially like the scabbard. Does it fit the sword? Also, the atmosphere of the model is great.

cathar the great Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The GS work is still sloppy in places but it turned out very fine. The gold could use some touching up as there are still many areas were it doesn't cover the black primer underneath.

zenfarr Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 You need more layers of gold and you also need to thin your paints. I do like the idea for your chapter though.
