Artist's Comments

Before I say anything about the piece, I need to stress that this is a test sculpt. It will only be cast if I meet the standards of the company I've been asked to help.

So, what I've done is break away from typical lizardman styles of design and gone with a more beastial T-rex look, smaller eyes further away from the snout and a wider, thicker jaw. Unlike a lot of other teeth based sculpts I've tried to up my abilities in this one by hand rolling every single tooth, even the thinner small ones at the front of the mouth. To help match the head I've also given the piece a very broad neck to support the head and the crushing power of the jaws (look at the thickness of a T-rex neck muscles and you'll know what I mean).

I've also added the occasional broken tooth and spike as well as scars and scratch marks to help him look like he's been in a lot of fights. The spikes along the neck and shoulder are just a base layer at the moment, they are only there to add shape to when I sculpt a detail layer over the top.

The arms will not be in that finishing pose, they're just idle for the moment while I work with the torso.

Any questions, ideas for poses and/or weapons let me know.

Sculpted in kneadatite, green stuff
Length of head: (not including neck) 10mm

Oh and I'm not procrastinating, I've nearly finished the changes to the Escher ganger. :shakefist:

The secret is.....

Tons of patience, a good film, a scalpel (minus sticking it in your knee) and lots of layering.

I love it's mouth and jaw, it just looks fantastic.

As for pose, I like the idea of it looking like it's making a leashing motion.

It is a possibility, but as I said at the start it's only a test piece, if it doesn't make the standard Felix goes for and if people don't like it then it won't be cast.

So it's a chance but not a certainty, don't get excited yet and please don't post it on any war gamming forums.

I'm not a professional, just someone with a lot of green stuff.

I was going to the sculpt's right hand arm raised over head bring a big axe down, the left probably with a shield.
:iconewig:
That sounds good. I do think something that looks like it's in motion would work well.

Oh believe me, you are :nod:
