I am now thinking I have enough figures to do a monochromatic set (if I can work out the details and darkness feeling to them) and a light set and then get a third one for NMM. Really like all of the details in the sculpts you made for this and hope to see a lot more in the future! Great work, man, great work!Grayfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765894482707227913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602573816575395817.post-83247874284032937892016-07-05T22:13:40.488-07:002016-07-05T22:13:40.488-07:00Actually both arms are the same length, it's j...Actually both arms are the same length, it's just that his left is stretched out while his right is cocked-back slightly. His shoulder is thrown back, his elbow is kinked in a slight raise and his wrist is more curled into the grip of the cleaver. <br />I wanted to put in some shots of him from the side (which you could see what I'm describing better) but my camera was having issues with what to focus on with that knife being thrust into the lens and things got blurry, sorry.monster.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03036979898748920007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602573816575395817.post-41196019177692230732016-07-05T18:16:10.092-07:002016-07-05T18:16:10.092-07:00Just curious, why did you make the left arm and ha...Just curious, why did you make the left arm and hand so large compared to the rest of him? <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I like this sculpt, just I noticed the arm and was curious if that was by design and if so why?

The people who influenced me the most directly for poses and such would be Frank Frazetta and Bernie Wrightson but I did collect the Maxx when it first came out and I'm sure all those comics that I picked up for the art had some effect on me. Glad you like the guy, hope he's as fun once you get him in hand.monster.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03036979898748920007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602573816575395817.post-47936990546367027132016-07-02T04:10:25.314-07:002016-07-02T04:10:25.314-07:00Jason, this sculpt is fantastic.

That's what it's there for. <br />Then later when you got the time and feel like it, paint it up. put it on a plinth or back onto the board with new life. As much as I like seeing what I've done given some time and care by modelers I also would like to see the same people get some real-time enjoyment from the figs. Have fun! I'd hate to think of people buying these figures JUST to paint them and put them out of reach, they are playing pieces so play, have fun and be happy!<br />Thanks for the comment BTW.monster.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03036979898748920007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602573816575395817.post-79905876172154424952016-07-01T06:37:11.245-07:002016-07-01T06:37:11.245-07:00He is a bit wide, but to be honest, I really reall...He is a bit wide, but to be honest, I really really like this sculpture. I don't know that he will get on the table much, as I think he will be reserved for higher quality painting and a much more decorative plinth to rest on. This gives me a year to work on NMM to make those blades really look amazing. We'll see, and I may have to wait until I can do what I want with NMM, but this guy is outstanding and deserves some good paint. Not that the others don't... so torn on playing with your miniatures. They are really outstanding. I only regret I cannot afford a set to play with and a second to just paint.Grayfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765894482707227913noreply@blogger.com
