The Tidewitch was one of my designs BUT not one of my minis; here is the original sculpt I did as part of a group of figs I was asked to come up with. I hadn't noticed mermaids in the concept art yet so I thought that would fit the criteria. The idea I pitched was a zombie that wasn't very mobile but could lure players to it and away from the party. Also, it let me sculpt something in a more "human" scale instead of the gigantic stuff I normally do.
As far as production, I suspect that the curvature of the tail in my sculpt was too problematic for casting. Looking at the new sculpt the tail is wrapped around a rock making the outstretched arm the only real tricky part to get cast. The original pose still lives on in the game art.
Really like the curvature of the tail!
ReplyDeleteProduction didn't. But it was a good exercise for me, I got to sculpt something small and focus more on fine detail than just being something massive. My detail skills are lacking.
