Ratty Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm wanting to sculpt from scratch my last 2 Seishin, the basic body shouldn't really be an issue, I was considering doing one coming out of a traditional Japanese shrine. My major issue is the faces for them, does anyone have any good reference pictures of suitable spirits. I'm going have a look through my Lot5r cards.

Chucklemonkey Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 May or may not be useful but this website has pics of a good number of oriental masks. http://www.nohmask.com/masklist/femaleghostspirit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) It's a good start, it lead me to this mask which looks like it might work.. and I like Tengu Which is a nice base to work off. It needs a bit more detail, I think I might take some of the details from and mix it in. For the Second one I'm thinking of starting with this. I think if I take it's hair back along the line of the Seishin it should lengthen the shape enough.

David.Hanold Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 best site for Japanese mask is this one. http://www.nohmask21.com/eu/index.html I have a huge thing for masks and collect them. Even have a porcelain Guy Fox mask. I find the Italian masks are my fave. Like the bauta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 It might help to read up a bit on Japanese folklore first, they have thousands of spirits (almost all of Kirai's models have a folklore counterpart- except Seishin). You could start with Tsukomogami- objects that have lasted for 100 years and have gained sentience, they can be almost anything. Perhaps more fitting would be the Hitodama- a fireball ghost that appears when someone dies (very appropriate considering her rules!)

There exists a mini in an alternate range (cant remember which) that is a demon of some sort and detaches from the body at night in order to stalk prey... its freakin scary as... Comes from Oriental folklore... not sure if its Japanese, but you could always paint the head Geisha-esque... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Yep, Okko miniatures Penaggollan, I'm planning to use them as Night Terrors, they would really work with the look of the crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 awesome! I'm definately getting a couple of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarForm Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Wonder where my post went... and why... Here is a link to the fluff behind the Penagollan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penanggalan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxvon_d Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Okko minis are nice but word of warning they are very expensive (at least they are here in the UK). I've been wanting to get some just to paint up. Highly recommend the comic series btw. Gorgeous artwork and a great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 i think your post was spirited away into the "i want alternate sculpts" thread and i agree, the Okko comics are gorgious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
