Tutorial - Sculpting your own little decay monster blob

by Roman aka jar

posted by Roman, jarhead, kong



Hiho!

Another tutorial drops in.
Not something great and kicks ass, not something brand new - just the way i went to sculpt my own  little decay monster blurb - and my sculpting skills are limited :D

I hope you enjoy this anyways and see it as inspiration that there is nothing you can't do - just do!
Music if you like!

The "Sculpting"
Ok let's start right away -but first there is a little introduction why i did what i did:

The Nurgle General I am painting at the moment is connected to a tragic story of 2 barbarian brothers, norse twins you can also call them. Both travelled through the Chaos deserts in search for their gods and their destiny. Nurlge found them. Big Papa yessss - and made them what they are now. One a massive Champion of the fouling gods, soon to raise to a demon, the other one just a little blob of nothing who is just holy-rolling and farting all the time. As they are twins they will always be together til the end of days and that's about the story. Sad I think. Slurp!

Now after the story we directly come to the spot where I don't like sculpting, at least with my own skills or my patience. Putting up basic volumes of Magic Sculp with a toothpick.


This often looks so ridicilous when i do it and i often think about what i am doing at the moment. At this point, when you are not so comfortable with sculpting just go on. Go further. You have for example around 1 hour to work with Magic Sculp and if it really comes hard you can still rip it off. Next was forming the volume to a blob who looks like one existence at all even it still stays a blob. It still looks like hackin' and smackin' but you got to go on.


Now I did use the content of an old waterfilter by the company "Britta" to make some random eyes. Just use a toothpick and some superglue to bring them in place. Those tiny balls are pretty cool for tons of things. I've "sculpted" a bit further on the blob, doing tentacles and stuff. Just rolled a small sausage of magic sculp and the toothpick brought it in place again. With the eyes i saw were this finally will go - the blob will scarely look up in his brothers open belly, maybe drinking twin mighty power nurgle juice from him to just stay alive.








The Painting in the photos above is still in Progress and overall the photos are not the best as the actual camera always takes to greyish photos and I don't understand it. Thanks to Raffa for the final photos. I did sculpt some more tentacles to simulate a mad motion of the blob, while drinking da juice. of his brother. Final version looks like this and if you look close enough you still can see that the blob's gender is male still :D


I hope you like this little "sculpting":D
If you are interested in some more spectacular sculpting of useless things check how I did sculpt a little teddybear.

Happy Painting and Sculpting to you!
Best Wishes

Khorne General on Juggernaut - Finished!

by Raffa

Posted by Raffa, Picster, Capuchin,....

Heeeeeeey there,

my first post after all the Games Day action in italy!
Maybe i will write a little bit about the GD, but at the moment im not in the mood and the event itself was a games day mostly like all the others ;)

It was very nice to meet so many cool, creative, nice and ingenious people in italy and i hope i will see many of them soon again in Monte San Savino :)

But ... my reason of posting is another!

After the GD i really wanted to paint something just as a fun and "shut brain off" activity, so i grabbed this juggernaut i had standing around for quite some time and painted him in my version of the boxart paintjob.

I hope you like it even if it is a fast paintjob and no fancy conversions :)
You can also vote on cmon!

Cheers,
Raffa

Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional...

by -Matt Cexwish-

Hi Di Ho!


As promised we proudly present the Second Video of some of the Finest "classic" Projects from Matt Cexwish´s Humble Workshop, a Piece that was build around 2008...:D...

This here has always been a kinda special and also sad Mini Diorama for me, since I have created it to a time when I was experiencing a somewhat hard time... My Father is an Artist and he always kept on saying: "Son, you better watch out what you Create, since it will inevitably become Part of your own life... It will concern you, make you think about it, become part of you...", so I try to always build things that cover a Interesting or rather Pleasant Topic, but this time it was different... I wanted to use Miniatures as a kind of Valve to release and capture a Good Portion of Evil, Pain, Suffering and Brutality in... It helped, but sent me disliking this very Project personally forever since... 

Maybe the Project you see is partially an outburst of Pure Freudian, raw Ödipal Energy as a secret desire to Kill our Fathers too... :D... I was creeped out and fascinated by the Idea of your Own Creation turning against you and eventually ending your Existence... What Irony that must be... 



So yes, I hope you find some Enjoyment looking at this Project from a lot of different Angles now and that you find Joy in the Art of Siberian Throat Singing, too...^-^... Thank you for your Time... 

P.S.: Ahaaa, and if you are interested in Adding this Piece to your Collection shoot me a Message, I would like to sell it...;)... Do Hurry Up, when it´s Gone, it´s Gone...:)...

Thanks to everyone for his entry and the nice words attached to the mails. Now it is up to us to give something back. This time we did not get as much as last year, maybe having a skype session with us scared the most :D

"One winner will have a chat with Roman (jarhead), Mati (Badsmile) one with Ben (KOMETS!!) and  one will have a chat with Raffa (Picster) for about 1 hour each. The final date will be matched with the winners wish, somewhere around late Octobre. We can talk about Miniatures, your projects, about us if you like, about the future of the hobby, about your ideas and visions, maybe bikinis - in fact whatever you like to talk with us about and we already guess that one hour is quite short."

Following your entries:













As we did expect more there are now massive good News: Everyone who participated will get a little price by MV, even those who might not win the Skype Sessions, therefore please drop in your postal adresses to the same email adress you did sent your entries to and the apes are packing something cute and shocking up for you ... gone again to judge from the heart together with Raffa.

Thanks again for all your entries. It is always great to see those little colour temples, whereever you are on this planet :)

Best Wishes
Your MV-Team

PS: Old Shatter Hands late drop in edited :)
