Welcome to the Bi-monthly Sculpting and Converting challenge. This time the subject matter will fall under....

THE FORCES OF DARKNESS

Image



In this challenge you have several options to take part:
- Sculpt from scratch (starting with or without armature/metal wire/...)
- Convert an existing miniature (to a new or another character or race/region, to change it's situation, rank, pose, wargear, ...)
You may sculpt/convert more than one character should you choose to do so but please bear in mind only 4 finished pictures can be submit for the vote.
Only one entry per person per challenge. So choose carefully!

2. To enter the Sculpting & Converting Challenge, the miniature you are converting must not be converted nor painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-converted'.
Re-converting an already converted miniature is NOT allowed!!
When sculpting from scratch, you must picture proof this with your blank armature/metal wire/... as well as a work-in-progress-picture as valid proof.
All "proof-pictures" MUST either have the announcement-screen of the running challenge in it's background, or contain a small note with the announced theme and date written on.


3. You may join the Sculpting & Converting Challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of your completed work by midnight GMT of SEPTEMBER 30TH 2014 . WIP images are welcomed and encouraged.
You are allowed to use any sort of sculpting epoxy, as well as scratch build materials (such as metal wire, plasticard, rivets, chains, ...).
You are allowed to use parts from other miniatures (such as weapons, heads, banners, arms, horses, ...).
Your final work must stay UNPAINTED and ideally contain 4 pictures; showing FRONT, BACK, LEFT and RIGHT side. Final pictures MUST NOT be submitted using the attachment format. If you want them in the voting poll then please link them across from an image hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. If you do not know how to do this, PM a moderator.


4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed sculpts/conversions. Votes should be cast not simply on sculpting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of techniques, artist improvement, originality etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to improve their sculpting skills and to encourage creativity onto their shelves.


5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next Sculpting & Converting Challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive challenges.

Nice work Grunge!
I the topic is a little too broad, which you think would be helpful, but perhaps isn't. I had to come up with a smaller project as I knew I couldn't get the other one I had in mind done in time.

Nice work on the Gundabad - what did you use for the grey putty? Seems like it would be smoother than GS.

Very nice work on the Gundabad orc Bombur, you should definately sculpt more! :yay:

I don't know whether or what I'll enter, but if, I'll probably do something with this head sculpted for the next Skirmisher issue:

Maybe an orc or a dunlending...

I've got a couple of ideas, how extensive does the conversion have to be?

The conversion is allowed to be as simple as you want Zarathustra, plenty of people have done changes in pose in the past. I was thinking of doing fur on wargs and adding some battle wounds, which would be sufficient, but it will have to wait for another day.

That is super sculpey firm, unfortunately some of the details I had to have them in gs, because it was difficult with the sculpey, I have yet to learn :).

Bombur77, that is a fantastic mini, really striking, and looks great on the base you gave him.

Oh I forgot to say that the base was not made ​​by me, but by an equally good sculptor, my friend, some time ago .Given a judgment only for the miniature , for correctness.

Azog mounted:

Also Azog is removable this way when he dismounts the white warg can go on a rampage without him on his back, this was done for game practicality
