Christmas Cards

We've made a tradition of drawing our own christmas cards to friends living far away, and giving them different game or popcultural themes, depending on what that person likes. Though it proper to show last years xmascards, and some older ones too, since some of you might not have seen them and might find them amusing! So, here they are. A bit late maybe, but hey, just 11½ months left to christmas now.










And some older ones, from 2008/2009.




Woo. In other news, the new half-sceret sculpting-projects goes on.. the first of two characters is almost done, and some props and stuff for the base is also done... look forward to it ;D

Kara and Criid maquettes, all done.

Yup, here they are, the second two clay figures, mounted on a base, painted and done! :O Kara Swole and Tona Criid, of Eisenhorn/Ravenor-series and Gaunt's Ghosts series fame.

And some pictures of the back:

A lot harder to sculpt ladies than gents, you can't cover all the stuff you mess up in a beard xD
But still, we're pretty pleased with the result. A good thing with these is the way we, mostly, managed to capture the material of the different clothes and gear with the paint.. leather looks like leather, fabric like fabric, etc... although there's a lote of stuff there we would've liked to fix. But that's life, ain't got no undo button with these things, and we just have to learn from our mistakes and use that experience next time. Started sculpting on the next one yesterday, Inquisitor Eisenhorn. He won't be done until after the deadline for the project though, and that's because he looks like this:

Insaaaaneee~ But as of today., the boots are done, atleast xD With some luck, I'll finish the pants and the belt today too.

It's hard to paint 30cm sculpts when your used to 32 mm warhammer ones.. a lot of tricks you can't get away with in the bigger medium. But there's also a lot of cool stuf you can do with these that you won't be able to do on 32 mm ones. You have to turn the model around a lot and paint from different angles, it looks like this:


Red Viking beard of hard work excluded.

Our next sculpt project will be something video game-related, the first piece will be called "It's only Rock n' Roll but I like it", which characters do you think it will feature? ;)
