Slug realistic paint job by FantasyPL studios

Amazing realistic paint job on my Otherworld slug. Love it.

The Flail Snail

Busy busy year and its time to reveal the last of the Snails of War sculpt.

Giant Octopus

Every year there is one sculpt that for some reason is either more demanding or just memorable and for 2016 this has got to be the one.

About a month or two ago Otherworld miniatures commissioned me to do a Giant Octopus. It was a great chance for me to have a go at one of the coolest creatures ever. I mean their camouflage is on a totally different level, they can actually change their skin textures, colours and shape to resemble all kinds of environment or creatures.
Have a look on google and you guys will be surprised of what they can do.

Well I did some sketches and finally decided to go with the heavy textured look for our Giant Octopus.
This has proven to be extremely time consuming but in the end I'm happy with it. It took me great deal of patience to do all of those little details.

So there you have it my most challenging sculpture of the year. What a great project will never forget the infinite hours of pain!

Giant Tentacles

Before I went for the actual Octopus sculpt I started working on some individual giant tentacles which Otherworld miniatures also expressed interest in.

Basically these would be like as if the creature was still inside a lake or swamp and its tentacles would be coming over to try to grab you. Remember LOTR " Do not disturb the waters" and that is pretty much the idea for these pieces.

I only sculpted 4 of them but they should be more than enough for anyones tabletop adventures.

Design wise I tried to build them in a way that they are balanced enough that they would not require any base to be added. Textures were time consuming.

Octopus Concept

About a 45 days ago Otherworld miniatures asked me if I was interested in doing a Giant Octopus sculpt for their range and as part of my sculpting adventures I always like to doodle some concepts.

This is what I came up with.

I wanted an octopus with a very rich textured skin and little did I know how hard it would be to sculpt it. Next updates will cover the sculpt and some extras I created for this very demanding project.

Gigantic Slug official release

Hi bug lovers.

Just wanted to share the official release of the Gigantic slug from Otherworld miniatures.
As always the paint jobs on the minis are brilliant. Loving it.

Another finished project and hopefully now people can grab some for themselves and paint the way they like it.

Colossal Slug

Snails and Slugs have been keeping me busy and I would dare to say that this is the year of the Gastropods.

So about 1 month ago I got a commission from Otherworld miniatures that was just about the type of thing I do love to sculpt. The Colossal Slug!
Currently Otherworld has one huge slug on their range but they wanted something a bit more modern and fantasy like detailed to replace it.

My commission was quite simple, create a HUGE memorable fantastic Slug to replace the old one.

This is what I came up with.

The underside also has textured skin

Some more details close ups.

The kit will have 3 pieces consisting on main body and 2 pairs of eyes.

So how big is this Slug? Its Colossal!

This Slug is quite the centerpiece for any adventure and was a nice piece to sculpt but is this the end for the Slugs and Snails in therms of projects? Quite the contrary, hang in there because during this weekend I will post concept art of what I intend to sculpt. Plenty of more Mollusca coming soon...
