Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I am not a completionist. I never seem to really get around to finishing anything, unless... I start posting it. So here are the first shots of my Bad Dreams box set. I'm starting with the stitched togethers, and trying to make all the bases as dynamic as I can. Here is a "fit" shot that I took so I can see where the model will sit on the emergency telephone box. [ATTACH]738[/ATTACH] More to follow over the next few weeks...

Iamwyrd Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Now he looks height 2. Lol. I like it. You should maybe bend the appendage hanging from his stomach so it doesn't look flat. But otherwise I like it, and it is a very dynamic base. Can't wait to see the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 He looks really cool and even more menacing. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I want a "Gremlins" (a la the 80's movie not the bayou gobliny ones) feel for the army, so I have a few little surprises setup... one may or may not involve a mini pop corn machine I found... As far as the dangling arm: This was just a Fit shot to make sure he fits. I've already altered the leg and the hand to make it work a bit better.

Headcase2 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 "I'm slaaaying in the rain...just slaaaying in the rain..." Instant classic! Cool pose/base by the way. I've always liked the models, but your take on it is simply brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oozeboss Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 OK, I'm hooked (pardon the pun). I want to see where this one goes, so I guess you now have a moral imperative for finishing the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Here is stitched #2, what I plan on doing is have his lantern lighting him very eerily and the wall, which will have some propaganda like posters overlaid with some Neverborn graffiti. [ATTACH]743[/ATTACH] I wanted him to have the impression that he was holding the lantern very still so that some unsuspecting passerby would be lured in... kind of like one of these...

Ratty Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm liking it so far.. I so hope you are going to be going for a bluish scheme lit up by yellow flames as they will look so sweet with directional lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so hope you are going to be going for a bluish scheme lit up by yellow flames as they will look so sweet with directional lighting. There will be surprises on these. It's hard to explain but I am HUGE on actual lighting. I will get pics of a Warhammer Giant I'm working on tonight and set them up. He's kinda of been my experiment piece for all these, and I've finally figured out how to black light reactive paints in a way that they do not show unless they are in the light. Pics tonight on the Giant WIP. Blue/Greens and Yellow/Oranges are the intention, but you know how it works... I won't know for sure until I pick up the brush on the first model... and before I do that I have to get creative with the 3 other models in the box... Coppelius is stumping me... but I'm playing around with him today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Lord Chompy Bits... what good are ten inch claws if they aren't gonna tear something up. [ATTACH]744[/ATTACH] This is just the test positioning, more a proof of concept than anything. I am going to have him leaping from something victorian behind him, I've cut away a good portion of the cloth that was the loincloth, and freed his legs, which I need to do a little green stuff work on tonight after I pin him to the base, or at least drill the holes...

Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) I've got the Dreamer all figured out. I am using the sculpt from the Nightmare Version and little floating technique that will hopefully make him look a little ethereal/otherworldly. I'm still stumped on what to do with Coppelius. I know that he was a "sandman" type figure in Teutonic myth, but I'm not sure how I can really alter him to make him "different". The others are all about movement, stillness and poise. But I can't think of a way to magnify it on the sculpt even with modifications. I'm sure something will hit me tonight as I work through it. I really want to get these guys primed, but I'm not going to until all are set and ready...

LoboStele Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Holy crap those are amazing. LCB looks downright fearsome that way, like he's literally jumping at you to eat you. I love it. I don't have anywhere near that much creativity when it comes to doing these pieces. Mad props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 FINALLY! Coppelius is sorted out. [ATTACH]749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]750[/ATTACH] I ended up cutting off his legs, and arms and repositioning everything. I still have a smidge of greenstuff work to do on him, but by and large his pose came out very well. I based him as if he were adding to, and protecting, his precious collection of eyes. They are in all different sizes, as I thought he would collect them from anything he could. So there are some killjoy sized ones, all the way down to some Dreamer sized ones... C/C always welcome...

The Green Git Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Interesting! I really like the dynamic poses and uses of background scenery in the bases. Makes them come to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadeau Gorgon Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Dreamer Base pieces... Soooo, after reading Koali's post earlier about the darkness effect I've gotten started on a change up for the dreamer's base... Going with an Ooze flowing upward effect, a la Fable III Darkness. Here are the first steps. [ATTACH]759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]760[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oozeboss Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Going with an Ooze flowing upward effect, a la Fable III Darkness. Oi!!! I resemble that remark! (I am thoroughly enjoying the manner in which you keep reaching for ever more outrageous visions, and the intelligent application of deductive processes which are making these Dreams manifest.)
