Okay, so I've not done much modelling in ages. Most of my recent "art" has been drawing.
And so, I need something to kick me out of this. This means it's project time!
I could return to the sculpting of Marco's warband and finally get the converted stand-ins off the table, but over time I've become less happy with that early sculpting. For one thing, Marco is short compared to what I originally wanted.
So, I'm starting from scratch on a set of five models. Some of these, if things go well as far as rearranging my schedule, are models I'm hoping to use as an IGT warband (If they're not ready in time, there are of course other options.)
As of now, I have five armatures that look more or less like this.I'll not give you a link to each one individually. They currently differ in little but height and intended gender, as they're not yet posed.
The three that will become a warband in their own right will all have appearances based on various different pictures that have caught my eye over the last few months.
Inquisitor Lyra Joandra Rhodes will be based on
this piece, by
Garth Cameron Graham - the artist behind a couple of webcomics I quite like.
An as of yet unnamed Stormtrooper Sergeant will be based on
this piece, which caught my eye in the last IG Codex. I've tried in the past to pin down which GW artist was responsible and failed - so an answer would be much appreciated.
And the last member is being based on a tweaked version of
person D in this piece which was posted on Ordo Illuminatus by
Mack Sztaba.
Of the others, number four is
Frost.The last has an appearance based on my own. For the most part, it'll be used as NPCs when extras are needed.
With all that said, there's little more to report, but I'm getting this out there so perhaps you lot can cajole me at appropriate times.
