Minx Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 That was attitude in response to attitude, and with the exception of that one comment, all of my responses to any of your posts have been to praise your work. I didnt reply with attitude, I simply requested that you referred to the giant bold text at the top of the original post asking people not to discuss the assembly since we didnt do it and had no control over it.

Metic Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 you guys do awesome work though, seriously. I loved your dark angel characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 That chappie is sweet! I sort of already guessed you guys were good painters, but now I'm really interested in seeing where you take this. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningshadow Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I really love that pose and that sculpted head is very menacing! Is this a commission job or just a showcase of companies talent? Either way very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 @Metic, We love doing these projects, they are our favourite, spending time on a single character and doing it up fancy, we always exceed the quote in terms of quality :P @Honda, We are doing it up for a competition, so the paint job is gonna be sweet! Have some cool ideas in mind that will be tricky to pull off, but should be interesting :) @Morningshadow, it started as a commission half sculpt, the guy wanted to paint it himself but then decided after seeing the head that maybe we should do it haha so now we are doing it as a commission but also taking it further for fun and our own enjoyment!

MagicMan Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I actually really like the Sharks head! I can see what people mean about it being Organic, though. And just the jaws would have been cool too. I doubt you'll want to change it, but using a shark's skull could look awesome? http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/evolution/evol-image/skull_meg-ws.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly_bear Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Or a sharks jaw that's been dipped or covered in adamantium to represent an invun save? I actually like it.... It's an awesome looking model too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shark's jaw bone and partial skull over the top would look really brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Rage Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Awesome sculpting as always and I actually really like the shark head concept. I believe that the way the head turns out is down to the paint job I mean if the heads panting the same colour as the rest of the armour it should blend in very well as apposed to if it were painted a different shade which would really bring it out more.

MasterBuilder Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Loving this and the way its coming out. The head is actually a nice touch, I immediately imagined it as a metallic piece, perhaps if the rest of the sculpt had smooth organic edges a la sanguinary guard or honour guard it perhaps fit, but given the imposing and 'blocky' nature of terminators, I would consider a change. Its fairly obvious you guys know what you're doing, keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch@oZ Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think the shark head is weird, but in a good way- refreshing would be the word i guess. I guess if some tribal tattoo lines were engraved in it it would look even more awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Love the shark head, too many people get caught up on the 'Grimdark', and "That's so unrealistic, we need more realism in a completely fictional universe ruled over by a corpse attached to a giant golden refrigerator". It's well sculpted, and lots of fun, and we need more fun in 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more hung up due to the fluff it's usually plan armour which is why there Hq was hard to tell apart but if he was doing the rogue trader space sharks then it be more acceptable as they were a bit whacky ;P anyway like you said it's only fiction and everything is open to interpretation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ill have an update tonight, we have revised the shark head and made it less organic, but still feels and looks like a shark head... we have started the dorsal fin which we think will work great in cohesion with the cape we are giving him :) updates in probably... 2 hours? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ok a little bit slower.... But here they are!!! Some more shots, adjusted the shark design, added dorsal fin, claw and sword! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Whilst I liked the original version of the shark head, the revision is more subtle The chainsword is gonna make Gabriel Seth jealous though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That guy is a BAMF. Love it, what is the decal on his chest though? Can't tell from the pictures. Also could we get a closer shot of his chainsword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Still lots to go, the cape is gonna really tie the armour design together and make that fin feel better. Heres another shot of the chainsword and the chest piece.. its a carcharodon tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
