Minx Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 It fits nicely with the dorsal fin as well, flows nicely together. We are almost finished the dude.. we do need to build him a base still, but that will come a bit later. Im painting him up for a competition in April so it will be a little break from him once the sculpting is done. We have a few other things to do up then back to paint this guy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'll admit that I liked the original organic head better, but that's just me. He still looks awesome. I'm very jazzed about this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnosaur93 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 holy hell, that is one awesome marine... i initially had my doubts when you first mentioned a "fin" (unlike most, i liked the shark head), but you managed to make that my favorite part of the model, it just looks so "right" in terms of the silhuette, mad props sir... i would love to have your skills at ornate tribal-styled details for myself for making my exodites :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ya I really think the fin contributes greatly to it and makes sense in the big picture. I like the way this guy turned out. Painting is going to be a challenge and Im not sure what Im going to do exactly as of yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 You can see the final photos(which are not as good or accurate) Here along with other entries for Reapercon. This piece took Gold in Open(build/paint)It was a tricky project to paint since everything is black! so I had to get a little creative with the colours. You can see other wip progress photos of the paint hereAlso, Id like to announce that we have finally launched a website for everything we do, its not so much a gallery, however one will be added later, it is meant to keep you connected and up to date with a variety of the things we do... please feel free to check us out at FantasyRPGminiatures.com it will have links to our facebook, pinterest, instagram and youtube, where we hope to do free video tutorial series and video updates and other such goodness regularly.Lots of fun stuff is coming up and we will be busy with non PA projects so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 *Impressed Whistle* Yeah, that's a thing of beauty. By the way, love the little shark silhouette you added to the chainsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minx Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think he worked out :) What do you like, dislike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think he worked out What do you like, dislike? Me personally? I think the mount point for the shark fin on the back of the armor looks like a tyranid head silhouette; and I think it was kinda unnecessary. That said, it is a pretty fantastic model overall.

chaplainmikey Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Incredible conversion and painting! The purple on the torso is a fantastic touch. My only criticism is the shark motif on the sword, specifically the way the dorsal fin juts out. I find it's rather blunt compared to the elegant and sleek shark motifs elsewhere on the model. Minor criticism though because everything else is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 @The_Chaplain, I agree, i would of preferred a smoother transition into the torso! @Chaplainmikey, Glad you like the glow! I felt it necessary to get some colours on him otherwise the black would be boring. Black armour only looks good when high gloss/reflective and I didnt want a high gloss armour, was tricky at first to paint him! Also, I agree, but I think its more so due to the design and blockiness of the SM weapons, we would of probably had to slim it down or redo the entire top edge to get that smoother feel to it, which may not of been a bad idea!@OTHERS, thanks! glad you enjoyed this project, it was fun, our client may have another crazy fun one in the works!!

Honda Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Very impressive and the purple surprised me. Not in a bad way, just that it isn't something that I'd associate with the sharks, though now that I say that, Squeaky put some very muted purple on his and it worked out fine. I think you executed everything very well. If I was going to niggle on something it would be the head. I still think that he would have looked more "shark" with a bald head and some Maori tats flowing over one eye. It would also have been a nice way to detail the head/face which can be important because that is what people's eyes focus on. Still, that's just a minor point on a wonderful piece. Well done!
