"I see dead people!" said Grom to himself when he entered Evergreen fields...
and dead people he saw!
I represent you painted examples of one of my first human sculpts! Im pretty sure I've shown various stages of WIP on my blog, but you can see finished unpainted sculpts here. Only thing missing is added putty that sticks the parts that fell apart together.
Lets take a closer look of those, fortunate enough to be unfortunate!
First is the one I like the most. Idea was taken from NMRIH. Its on page 67, events enounter table roll 3-4. For those unfamiliar with the rules, here's a short quote:
"...there is a gun in one of the man's hand and a picture of his family in the other..."
You can clearly see he really has a gun in one hand, but the picture lies at his leg. I've put it there because I was so proud of how I did his left palm, if I recall correctly!
Next we got a bitten human or whoever.
And someone who looks like (s)he's been shot in the back. While painting, I found out this one could work as both sexes. To make it more even in gender, lets call it a woman.
And a true woman. Don't worry if you can't recognize any face, even before blood, she only had a nose and a big mouth sticking out. Sculpting female curves is hard, too.
There is always one. A man that used to be culinary undemanding. His face is actually better that it looks like. Honestly!
For the end, as usual, all of them lined up for you to adore:
Thanks for looking,
Mathyoo
Very good. I've been looking fo something to use for bodies. I might give this a go. Very skillful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I found those to be sculpted easier than a standing human. I got horrible problems with making an armature (now that I've mentioned it, Im going to hide the pride and buy some metal ones :P). Here, I've just put the sausages on an old PVC cover for notebooks and covered them. Baking paper would probaby be a good idea. However, when I've done them in layers and pulled them off, they fell apart (check the link). So I glued them and layed another layer of putty to hold them together. And if you mess it, its just like the Zeds, you paint some blood and its called damage! :D
DeleteYour corpses have come out well, Mathyoo. They will certainly enhance your game boards.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Got to paint those body bags now and start playing so I can actually use them as well! :D
DeleteThese are brilliant especially the suicide one. Nice sculpting and paintwork mate love them all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brummie! The suicide one is my favorite as well, hes something you don't see often but I imagine could happen quite a lot during the outbreak.
DeleteThey're great Mattyoo, I'm very jealous of your sculpting talent.
ReplyDeleteWhen do they go on sale ?
Thank you Joe!
DeleteWon't be putting those on sale, Im afraid, hehe. The quality is way below the price for the material used alone. But if you guys are interested, I guess I could try to sculpt some better ones and cast them in resin one day.
I like how the dead bodies have turned out! Cool Stuff Mathyoo!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you!
DeleteGreat effort mate they look so good, I especilly like the dude with the head damage, he looks like his been on the road for a while and cars have driven over his head repeatedly, very roadkill like.
ReplyDeleteA roadkill! Here's an idea for one of the next ones!
DeleteThose are great bodies. I now have a reason to paint my feeble attempts at sculpting after squishing them down to look like corpses.
