Title: Shaiyleigh Redux
Post by: Inquisitor Dionzi on October 28, 2012, 12:26:22 AM
Hi all,
So, good news and bad news: bad news first. My Shaiyleigh prototype has gone missing. I think it fell off my desk into my dust bin.  That's disappointing, one, because she was my best sculpt to date, two, because I was planning on creating her mould this weekend.  Good news: I wanted to redesign her, and with the Primus Prototype gone, I have the motivation to actually do it. So on this thread, I'm going to be reposting the concept sketches and will put the WIP photos of Secundus Prototype here.

The original thread: http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1479.msg19370#msg19370 (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1479.msg19370#msg19370)

I'm hoping to get the Conclave's feedback on her as I put her together - I want to kinda make her a community effort. The people who help me out will get 8% discounts if they decide to purchase her!

The following photos are of Secundus Prototype. My intent is to improve her musculature and anatomical correctness and to improve the overall detail of the miniature. I'm aiming for 54mm heroic scale for all SkyFall minis, with some peaking 60mm, and some less.  I'm wanting - temporarily - to have Secundus Prototype large enough to use Covenant's psycannon mount, if not the psycannon proper.

Do you have any ideas for equipment/looks/"feel"?

Not much progress on the Shaiyleigh Redux since I posted these pics. I've been struggling with ensuring the proportions are correct and have been mucking about with anatomically accurate dummies for 54mm heroic scale - it's been ticking me off....
