In the past I've tried sculpting with miliputt and greenstuff, I sort of made progress but gave up, it took too long and I'd keep ruining bits I liked.
I also tried sculpting with blender but made very little progress.
I have however started on occulus medium which allows you to sculpt in VR. I have to say I love it and thought I'd share my first sculpt. It's a bare bones orc that I intend to add embellishments to and produce different figures, currently the head and arms are different models.
Now I know professional sculpters can achive amazing things, there are many very talented amatures too but all I'm trying to do is make a figure that looks like it could have been made from green stuff in the late 80's. I'm trying for a sort of Tony Akland style of orc and feel I'm making modest progress so thought I'd share.
So first some inspiration:
And now a sculpt that needs lots of work.....
Everyone who does anything starts somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress
Thanks Dave, you are of course right. Its a bit exciting actually.
DeleteEnjoyable is the most important part to begin with and honestly, the result is better than many people would come up with on a first so congrats, it looks like what it's meant to look without any detail yet. I think getting it printed and painted will surely be a fantastic feeling of achievement !
ReplyDeleteThis is super exciting Erny!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, I feel with some practice I could get OK at this then who knows what I could make.
DeleteHey, he looks great! He could fit in nicely with the Orc warriors from the Fantasy Regiments boxed set! What kind of gear were you thinking about giving him?
ReplyDeleteFantasy regiments you say???? That may just have been the look I was going for, thank you for seeing it! As to whats next....new post.
