Niko Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I love the concept art for the Carver, so I decided to build my own model: I hope you like it, I have used a GW ogre body and arms and added some greenstuff to build it. Now it's time to paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire Hoarcat Snuggler Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I know it's the Ogre armature talking here, but he looks like he's had a few too may Trick 'r Treaters, but great nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirigakurenoHaku Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 He looks a little too bulky in the abdominal region... Does your Carver have a fondness for a beer with his kids? That aside, I do offer you kudos. This is an intimidatng sculpt to tackle and you did pretty well! To replicate the concept art, I'd offer this critique: The head of your Carver looks to be set too high. The concept shows the head a little lower, giving it a more imposing stance as though he needs to look down upon you just to see you. The arm holding the knife is not poised in a position in which he could strike with it very well at all. The looks to be extended almost completely which is not good for swinging. The other arm is looks too casual, I think. The concept art portrays that arm still tightly bound, perpendicular to the body, to the cross to which the Carver was fixed to as a scarecrow. And finally, the rope around his waist is just too thick. Now please, don't hate me. As I said, this tackles the idea of the Carver well. The broad shoulders and brick-like body, along with that creep smile are all stong positives to this piece! And I do so enjoy the hay. I am anxious to see this get painted.

Bellygrub Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Great job. I think he looks surprisingly good. We were using an old Mordheim Ogre as a Carver proxy. I wish I had thought of using a plastic Ogre as a base. I have a bunch of those in my bitz bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeau Gorgon Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I like him. I know that the other comments point out a few improvements, but when you are working with bits it's very hard to find an arm that is in proper proportion to the torso, and to sculpt the bibbed overalls and the head onto it was a great feat. He looks great. The one comment that I definitely agree on is the rope belt. A thinner sisal or hemp rope might make it a bit more proportioned.

Niko Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thank you for your comments but I wasn't have enough time to modify my sculpt but your comments will be helpful for my next sculpt! So, this is my Carver painted: It isn't a high level painting but it will be enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
