Description

EDIT 3: Urgh....let this be a lesson to you all, SORT YOUR DAMN ARMATURES AND POSING OUT BEFORE YOU START ADDING DETAIL!

This piece has been going on FAR too long, but I've made some progress over the last few months (progress being picking it up, sculpting a tiny amount, swearing like a docker when I realize it's crap and then repeating the whole joyous process all over again).

A while back some of you may remember this:
Banshee Wych WIP by The-Build

And this journal I did (and need to do part two for, hopefully this week).
Banshee Wych + Femme Fatales (part 1)As mentioned yesterday, here is the second part of the series (although it won't be completed in this one segment), I'll be focusing on a number of different areas that filter over each other like crazy. Not exaggerating here, there will be so many areas that relate to one another that I'll be jumping from one to the other on almost every new aspect, so to make things easier I'll be bullet pointing it.
Unfortunately, just as with the last tutorial, this one has turned out longer than I had hoped, sorry about that. :/
So anything that relates to a specific subtopic gets a bullet point just before it so you know, otherwise this whole thing will probably turn into a huge confusing mess, you have been warned...
:bulletgreen: Banshee Wych
:bulletred: Femme Fatales
:bulletblue: Little snippets: Things to take on board if you're considering sculpting with casting in mind (for sales or private work), or just working as a professional.
Here's the brief subtopics I ment



My first half decent dabble with pro-create putty.
However, there's a reason I've been going backwards and forwards so much with it, I managed to enter hyper critical mode, the shoulder pads started to bug me initially, for a character who is supposed to be the very definition of agile and flexible...no, no shoulder pads!

After that it spiralled out a bit more, with change, leading to change, leading to change. Much of this piece has ended up looking rather different from Howling banshees AND dark eldar Wychs, but I think this is a good thing.


Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the razor flail (think by segmented spiky whip of pain and death) attached, but I'm hoping I will do soon. I also had issues with the left arm (which is why it's been shaved back to basic structure, something I only noticed I needed to cut back when taking the photo).


One thing I will say with procreate, is it's AMAZING for clothes, robes and fabrics, much kinder and easier to work with than greenstuff and holds better shape and detail).

Sculpted in Pro-create putty.

Sculpted in scale with current GW miniatures (28-32mm)

Are you still working on this? The details look amazing so far... must be such finicky work.
