ENWorld Sculpting Project #1 The Wizard's Lab (complete)

[Alf]

I've got this conceptsketch of a cyborg using live babies for batteries. Quite nightmarish. But maybe it's to science fiction like?

Hi. I'm sorry I found this so late. Can anyone point me to the thread listing rules for this event and other details?

I would love to participate (schedule permitting).

Thanks.

Please do! Here's the original thread. You will notice this project is remarkably "rules-lite."

Well I guess I'll get the ball rolling on this with some concept sketches. I always look to the darker side of things and decided to try a liche figure and maybe some necromantic items. I am shooting for an elvish appearance on the liche. The other items I have there are a bookstand and spellbook and a crow familiar hanging about on partial skeletons. I'll probably go for more details on the liche than what is drawn and also may detach the arm holding the staff for easier casting(depending on pogre's thoughts). I would also probably make the spellbook and stand 2 peice (book and hands 1 peice, arms and feet 2nd) for ease of casting. I'm not sure how this will turn out for me as I have not done more than modifications before, but I'm always up for a challenge. Good luck to the rest of you and may you sculpting go well!

copperdragon0 -

I really, really like the book stand - very cool idea. The rest is very thematic and cool too.

Don't limit yourself too much on account of the casting - I can figure a way to do most things, so just have fun!

Thanks for kickstarting this!

I'm thinking of doing an alchemy set but that sould require several smaller pieces instead of one. would that be ok, or should I stick to single piece items.

Hey Gang!
I'm back from Gencon and itching to sculpt... Unfortunately, I have a business trip the rest of the week. AARRGGG.
CopperDragon: I love the concepts. I think they'd be great mini's.

Shape D: If you want to sculpt a few small items go ahead and make them. If Pogre pops in and says that won't work, you'll still have them in green stuff for yourself and they are great for practice.

I think I'll start with a wizard for the lab. Once that's done, I'll decide if I want to go ahead with a second sculpt.
I also need to post some more in my 'how to' thread.
I hope to have a free weekend soon that I can devote to some picture taking and stuff.



Talk to everyone soon.
Game ON!

Not a problem for me.

Nyrf - Did you go to any the sculpting seminars? I saw the sculpting list was having a get together too. Do tell!

 

[pogre]

To show I'm not slacking here is my concept for my sorceress so far. It's not done. I'm open to suggestions to make her more magical.

PS - I know she's a bit cheesecake - my wife already pointed this out, but I like cheesecake

Just to make everyone jealous... Here is a quick GenCon report from Nyrfherdr.

I only played in 1 RPG game!!!
I played a couple of late night Warmachine games (Thurs and Saturday)
I spent Friday night chatting with professional sculptors. (Sandra Garrity, Gene Van Horne, Bobby Jackson and a few others.)
I attended 2 sculpting seminars (both on faces under the tutelage of Gene and Bobby)
I couldn't get into the others, but I learned a ton in both of them and the Friday night session.
I did 2 speed painting competitions. I placed second both times. No championship bragging rights for me.
I practiced some wet blending painting techniques under the watchful eyes of the Reaper staff painters. Turned out OK.

I'm now frantically trying to prepare my presentation for a very large Hotel chain that will mean several million in revenue for my company. What am I doing posting on ENWorld?

I hope to get a concept sketch done on the plane ride (after the batteries on my laptop die)
I'll post it this weekend.

Game ON!
