hi guys, here's a 28mm mini I sculpted earlier this month. It's a private commission.
The client sent me the piece of artwork shown below, and asked for a 28mm mini based closely on it. I think he said that his brother made the artwork for a competition or something like that, so it's got sentimental value for him. He also wanted it to be cast - he's making a few casts for himself. And he wanted it in 1 piece, and with the integral base as shown.
As soon as I heard it needed to be cast in one piece, I knew the hands/fingers were going to be tricky! The long fingernails as pictured in the artwork, epecially in that curved over position, would be a nightmare to cast, and I doubt it would work...from my small knowledge of moulding/casting, anyway. So I had to take a few liberties with the shape and position of the hands - hopefully it will cast fine this way, although I think even this is pushing it.
Anyway, yeah - sculpted in sculpey firm (the grey robes), with milliput-greenstuff mix for most other bits.
As a side note: Steve told me that he's meant to have a little scroll stuck to his forehead, trailing down over his face! The scroll is a spell that means the sorcerer can control him - without the scroll the hopping ghost does his own thing. According to Steve, anyway! hehe
