Enslaver

  I can't remember how long ago I made this, maybe 5 years ago? Anyway, it was back in the day when i thought I was actually going to play a game of Warhammer 40K and I wanted to do an Enslaver themed Killteam to start off with. I sculpted this for myself, made a mold and a couple of casts and gave one to a friend of mine. He posted a picture of it online, it made its way onto Pinterest and now years later I got a request to post more pictures of it. So, here it is...

I looked online for inspiration but mostly used the rough sketch that I think was done by Jess Goodwin(?) as the overall guide. I tried to keep the main visual cues that are in the sketch; floating bladders, tentacles, mandibles, eye cluster, stuff like that but I wanted to make it look as alien as I could pull off  and still make it castable. To me, asymetrical elements makes things look bizarre and I focused on that with the underside detail in hopes of  conveying an alien anatomy.
