[sculpting] "I am Skeletor, Overlord of Evil!"

[Gospog]

Here's a link to the Skeletor mini I sculpted. I used a link because the picture is quite large, and I didn't want to hose anyone's browser.

So if you want to see the mini, please click the links.

And if anyone knows how to resize the pics, feel free to do so and post. Thanks.

Oh, and feedback always appreciated.

Very very nice. What was the base mini? did you mold your own?

I want to make one now. I can see a whole campaign based on my obsession with Skeletor.

Thanks, Guedo!

I sculpted him myself, from "green stuff".

The only part I "borrowed" was the sword, taken from a Warzone weapons kit.

Now I just need a way to use him in an RPG...any RPG!

 

[guedo79]

Thats easy. well for D&D.

He could be a uber Lich for a high level party. A lich with levels or with a template.

Maybe a necromancer gone undead.

Maybe a questionable witch doctor that *never* takes off his skeleton mask.

thats just off the top of my head. I'm sure you'll find something.

Just think undead, wizard, uber cool, ....*twitch twitch*

*lies down*

Ooh, tasty! I like the job you did on the muscles and the fingers - those can be a pain in the butt.

Heh - I'm working on a fig right now that's a Conan/Slaine/whatever-type barbarian. Maybe I should do him as He-Man instead!

Of course! But only if you want Skeletor to destroy him!
(after he relates the details of his latest insidious plot, of course)



Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Very cool. Makes me miss the old He-man series.

 

[Gospog]

Sir Osis,

Have you seen the new He-Man series on Cartoon Network?

It's great! You can really tell it was made by fans of the old show!

In fact, watching it every weekday is what inspired me to sculpt Skeletor.

Great job on the sculpting. Next winter I am going to try and sculpt my first fig. Hopefully it turns out half as good as Skeletor.

 

[Gospog]

Thanks!

That's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for!

But seriously, thanks for posting and good luck with your own mini.

Reaper Miniatures makes a sculpting armature that really helps when sculpting amuscular human mini. I use them pretty often.

While I'm at it, I should not that Reaper is just a great company, have awesome minis, and have uneaqualed customer service.

I found this out the hard way when I got some broken minis in a Christmas order. The poeple at Reaper took damn good care of me, and resolved the problem immediately.

OK, enough tooting someone else's horn. Let's get back to how great I am!
