Good to see them all together! They remind me of better versions of the 5th edition treemen but with more character and life to them. The treeman looks especially imposing towering over the tree-kin

turning over a new leaf:
I like how you have incorperated the animals on the treeman... the ravens nest is well done, b ut where did you get the bird itslef. i recognize the dryad bits and then the greenstuff, but the raven stumps me.

Here is what I've done so far. So its pretty roughly wip. :P I have to make wings bigger, shape head and then skulpt details. What do you think?
And here is how it shall be fitted in base.

Absolutely awesome models. Love the look. Maybe you could do a tutorial on how you sculpted them. I'd love to be able too.

A tutorial? Well why not if you guys are intrested? Theres only one but.. I'll be starting military service in next monday so I will be tied up there pretty tightly next nine or twelve months, but I try to make it when I have time.. I'll have some day offs so maybe I can try to work on that then.. But I won't promise anything soon yet. But maybe you can wait some time. But it shall be done sooner or later.
Small update.. Eagle base has been shaped to a better form and wings of eagle are gaining look that they should have.

The treeman and the treekin are fantastic. I love the character in the treeman's face.
Even more impressed with your sculpting an eagle from scratch - that's a serious project but it's looking great so far.
There certainly are some talented folk here on this board

I like the look of tyhe eagle, but what type of clay/green/brown stuff are you useing? I've never seen that type of material used before. Or at least, that color.
Re: Scratchbuilt/skulpted forrest spirits [08.07.2009]
That eagle is looking really good. I'm assuming you are putting greenstuff over it for the feathers?

Huzzah for beaks

Milliputty, its very common putty. Good at making basic structure for figures becouse its cheap and you can easily sand it..hawkeyed wrote:I like the look of tyhe eagle, but what type of clay/green/brown stuff are you useing?

Yes thats correct. I am going to use greenstuff to make finer details.mawpit wrote:That eagle is looking really good. I'm assuming you are putting greenstuff over it for the feathers?
Yes there will be some sort of beak for this eagle. :PThe Virgin Forest wrote:Huzzah for beaks

Time for small update. Head is almost done and I started making feathers.. I am quite happy about how the beak turned out to be.. It is not the best but with my experience I am more than happy with it.
What do you think?

I love the pose of the eagle and the beak looks great! Feathers seem very challenging to sculp.
