What have you painted/converted today

[Clockwork]

Looks fantastic so far bud, and that is such a good concept as well.

Very nice

I've been working on something for a competition over on YakTribe.

Based on Clayton Tait's artwork, created under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 UK: Scotland license for this Gorkamorka scenario:






He's, well, pretty huge:





Here's a video of him:

Work on him started here and there's more photos here.

[Jubal]

That's gorgeous, well done

Have you considered adding suitable music to your turntable videos? I feel like the current video style plus music and possibly some nicely done titles (model name at the start/fox box logo end) would end up with something quite attention-grabbing. It may not be worth the time of course, but something to consider.

[Flamekebab]

I was considering it but time was against me on that one. The deadline for the competition was today. I emphasise "today" because I don't know when today! I was uploading the video at five in the morning (BST?) and so considered tracking down some suitable music, adding some titles, etc.. but sleep beckoned.


I was asleep a little after six and it turned out I had a dental checkup at 1030. Oops. Well my teeth are apparently healthy so that's excellent!


The other caveat with this model is that I don't have permission to release it commercially. I'm going to see if I can get permission though!

[Jubal]

Yes, sounds a rather hectic rush! May be something to think about for future regular Fox Box released though

Hope you get permission to release it commercially - is it that you need permission from the original artist for the concept essentially?

[Flamekebab]

Hope you get permission to release it commercially

I hope so too! Either way though it'll be useful as a basis for some large Orc models.

is it that you need permission from the original artist for the concept essentially?

No - concepts aren't protected by intellectual property law. The model is a direct adaptation of his artwork - it's not inspired by it or anything like that. The goal in creating it was to make a derivative work.

[Jubal]

Right, yes, sense maketh

[Silver Wolf]

I love the way he looks.

The only thing that could use some improvement is his back.
I think that the muscles need some definition, especially the upper part...

[Flamekebab]

That's kinda funny - I actually added putty to cover up the definition! Originally he had virtually raw musculature on there:

[Clockwork]

Looks badass, like if Orks did WWE

I actually prefer the old version.

[Flamekebab]

Good to know!


There will be other torsos and perhaps I'll leave them as raw muscles


The next thing using this sculpt will be a warboss scale model inspired by Immortan Joe  8)

There's still a lot of work left on it, but so far it turned out to be just the way I imagined it.

[Jubal]

Nice work!
