8.7.21 - Sculpt update for the "Tropical Rainforest" Concept creature for both A New Hope and Dark Horse Comics, Knights of the Old Republic and Gribbet the Bounty Hunter from the Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson comic series, Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell. 1:18 scale.
Had several weeks of personal tasks to deal with that took me from my sculpt time but here we are again, back to it. This represents only a few days of work so bear with me while I accumulate more hours of work to show significant progress in the future.
Simplest update first, Gribbet. Currently filling out the bodywork. Detailed sculpting will follow soon. Some would question why I don't simply begin sculpting the detail directly on the plastic frame..I feel this way helps with building proportion.
Next, the Tropical Rainforest concept for Star Wars: A New Hope. I have a torso built up but nothing of any detail yet. Began sculpting some of the leaves that will assist in the figure's stance. Right now they are being held in place by some wax clay and a temporary stand I made from one of my earlier ideas that didn't fly. I'd love the idea of some transparency in the floral extremities but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Finally, the Revwien pilot from Dark Horse Comics series Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Continued work on the arm detail. Finishing up the upper sleeves to the shoulders. Also added the finger-like protrusions. I'm not sure if these extend from the arms to grip items or used in some sort of "anti-grav" manipulation...who knows? I look at this as being an exo-suit to the plant-like body beneath. Added some additional details to the head as well.
I need to find the time to order some molding and casting supplies and get some of these original sculpts replicated for tooling alternative sculpts and paint.
More to come! Thinking of sneaking in some ALIEN work in the next update. Have some monsters that are getting their undies in a wad waiting to be updated LOL!
Thanks again for the kind words and continued interest in my work!
