Zombicide - Black Plague: Ablobination

I did this guy a in November of last year for fun. Another one of my ideas I decided to sculpt on my own time and see what the crew at Guillotine games thought of it.
Again, this has been a lot of fun. It's rare I get to just make something and have it accepted.

Zombicide: Black Plague - Abominotaur

I'm happy with this guy. I did him all on my own and surprised the crew at Guillotine Games with him and they liked him enough to include him as a stretch goal for their Kickstarter. Originally I had been considering doing a giant or ogre but I thought that it wouldn't be that much fun since it would just look like a normal Abomination just bigger. I began thinking what could be giant sized and a total terror on the board and I came up with Minotaur. So, if you are playing the game and this thing stomps all over your character it's totally my fault.

Again, I am pleased and excited to be able to include the art by Edouard Guiton for this, since this figure was done on my own initiative it's a real thrill to have something like this happen where I get to have his art done of my figure, kind of a bizarre chain of events but very cool for me!

Oh yeah, he's totally massive too, the biggest Abomination to date, (that,s a normal Abomination in his hand in the last picture! Mua-ha-ha-ha!)

Edit: A bit of trivia for those of you who visit this entry, all of you have made this character THE most visited figure in my entire blog! For the longest time the Dire Troll Mauler was the most visited entry but in a mere months time the Abominotaur beat out the Mauler which took 5 years worth of accumulated hits. I guess people like the Abominotaur?

Zombicide: Black Plague - Wolf-Bomination

I was asked to do this guy on my own, no art provided. The only request was to raise one arm as if to swat someone and to make it cast-able as one piece. Now, here is a total geek-out for me; normally I work from concept art already done and provided and lately I've been working off of Edouard Guiton's art and I've been a fan of his since the Rakham days so it's kind of a big deal for me to get to do that. But this? Edouard has made a picture based off of my sculpt so excuse my while a twitch with pleasure. The crew over at Guillotine Games allowed me to post the art here...

Zombicide A-Bomb and Fem A-Bomb

I've noticed my blogs been getting a lot of hits from Zombicide fans over in France so, "Bonjour!" from the US, hopefully these latest sculpts will be well received.
I finished the first A-Bomb in late November last year and it was based off of the cover for the new Rue Morgue expansion, I ended up changing the hand position to make it more, "groping" and since his left arm was not detailed in the concept art I decided to exercise some artistic licencing with it. To me asymmetrical elements always add a wrongness and alien aspect to a design so I made sure that if one arm was bloated with tumors then the other was emaciated and spindly hopefully adding to the look of unstable genetics the infected seem to be suffering from.

I had some down time in early December while doing some new pieces for the Wrath of Kings line and really wanted to do another A-Bomb but this time make it female, so when I could, I worked on this figure. I attempted to emulate Edouard's character design while adding some of my own without making it look out of place. Originally I wanted her to be in a wedding dress, a kind of bridezilla joke but the train and ruffles of the dress would have ended up being too complex for the molding process. I have to do my best to ensure the sculpts for Zombicide are one piece with no assembly required for the players and an overly complex dress would have added too much depth (front to back) for the figure so at the last second I decided to abandon that. Other then that I got to do all that I wanted to on the figure; I flip-flopped the arm styles from the first A-Bomb so it didn't just look like a copy and I added more bizarre spines and spikes along with a pulpy, corpulent hump on her back... Oh yeah, and breasts. With armor. 

I didn't tell the gang at Guillotine Games what I did and just secreted it in with the next figure shipment as a surprise Christmas present. I suggested they could use it as a stretch goal for the next Kickstarter campaign, which they did.

Until everybody gets their orders for the latest Zombicide expansions in hand here are some shots of the "Greens," (but in my case "blues") for both the primary A-Bomb and stretch goal Fem A-Bomb.

Zombicide Bust

Here's something you probably won't get to see in person, a 1/6th scale bust I did for no real good reason other then just because I wanted to. Remember a few posts ago how I mentioned that one of the Zombicide figures got lost in the mail? Well, this guy was in the box too. My guess is right now he is in a landfill, ashes in an incinerator or sitting on a disgruntled postal workers shelf staring at him accusatorily.

Based loosely off of Edouard Guiton's art work and style and sculpted in Super Sculpy this guy took me about a day and a half to complete. And in hindsight I wish I had taken better pictures since as far as I know this is all that remains of him.
