Started this Giant quite some time ago and it was been languishing in a box, then a shelf, back to a box and finally to my work area where I decided it had to be finished no matter what. So here it is.
I posted here a while back about the initial sculpting, such as it is, but I had to do a load more and not with Das and PVA. To create the hands I used GS as I couldn't get the shape well enough with the Das. I think that I could have created a much smoother look if only I had taken a little more time and care to be honest. I feel that the face in general lets it down, but it was a bit of an experiment as it was all sculpted in Das and PVA, so perhaps I am being a little hard n myself.
So using Das and PVA together has worked, sort of, just need to do more practice and keep developing technique as well as patience.
Whatever happens I'll have no problem using him as a giant for Saga, Frostgrave or in my D&D games, on the other hand its not a model I'm proud of or would try to sell.

That's not a bad attempt mate! For such a large model the proportions seem pretty good. If you gave it a greyer skin stone it would look like some kind of stone giant. Rubber sculpting tools might give a smoother finish. All in all, I like it.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jason, you're being very kind, I agree about a possible paint job in grey. Further sculpting might help though :-)
