My first minature cast in metal!

Woot! 

Rough concept sketch for Howling Hounds a.k.a. Manshee

Here's a rough concept sketch for my next project.

I did these to give my client an idea of the direction I was aiming for with the design.

I generally don't spend time working on finished concept art for my miniatures. I usually do dozens of rough sketches for myself until I have a fairly clear image of what I want in my mind.

I then finalize my design as I sculpt, since the process of translating the 2d image into a 3 dimensional object invariably requires changes to achieve an effective design for the tabletop.

The client felt that the above design wasn't distinctive enough, so I made the following changes. 

Finished sculpt for Space Elf Lady Ninja a.k.a. Female Eldar Exarch

Took me longer to sculpt the weapons than the main figure itself :(

Slow progress on the Female Space Marines

I didn't get a chance to work on it much so far this month. I've been busy with real life and sculpting the Female Eldar Exarch.

Still working on the two assault pose bodies and began work on component-ed legs for the torso component I did earlier, as well as several more heads.

It's getting there; I hope to have her done by the end of week.

Greens in the works - Miscellaneous

I like to work on several models at once for the same reasons I paint several model at a time; I can work on another one while waiting for the others to dry.
