What isssssssss it?


(and if it's really that bad to work out, look at the file name :P )

Green stuff is just over the joins (managed to lose the soldering iron) to hold together for final posing before I'll work over it.

Interesting ... those Arms look long ... but I like the tail shape.

Yup, arms are deliberately longer than needed. I'll clip them down and readjust the bend once the greenstuff has set (also figured I'd add more length to the arms rather than ending up with them too short and having to cut more wire :)

Is it an image??

Will be cool to see how it turns out though :)

A wise decision. Also if you have not decided on weaponry extra extremely long arms allways means you can turn part of the wire into a held weapon as well. Leaving the weapon a part of the arm armature is by far the most durable solution for casting.
Hard to comment in such an early stage but one thing I prefer to do allready at this stage is to exaggerate the s-shape of the spine quite a bit. It's amazing how this tends to flatten out as you add more putty so I try to go for almost a "u" shape below the ribcage

Any updates on this WiP?

I'm doing one that might serve as inspiration (hopefully...):

I struggled, I attempted but sadly. I'm just no good :( I don't have an artistic bone in my body so it was always an up hill battle. Maybe one day... Though I'm still hoping for snakmen models to convert which dont cost a forune off ebay (and Heresys dungeon crawl game does mention snakemen so maybe Andy has some in the pipeline)
