Blood for the Old God - Ancient Blood God (WIP) (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Update June 14th

Yesterday I worked on the scales. I made the distribution using software tools however due to the curves things haven't ended the way I wanted, so I started to manually adjust them. If it were a 32mm size model I probably could get away with some overlapping, however, this is not the case, so I will work on it.

I expect to spend the whole day working on these scales. 

Update June 13th

Yesterday I added details to the head and made the shoulder armor and assets. I also posed the top part over the lower part. I started adding details to the lower part (the outside scales).

Today I will focus on the lower part and if everything works the way I intend I will also add more details to the base.

By the way, I added the Troll back just to give you a sense of dimension and how big it will be in the end.

Update June 12th

Yesterday I worked on the backs, wings, and a bit of the arms. The Wings took me more time than I had imagined. I also changed the pose a little bit.

Today I will add more details do the head, model the shoulders, and tassets.

Update June 11th

Yesterday I worked on refining the body a bit more and added details to the spikes on the head. I added feathers and started to work on the wings. I also worked on the bracelets.

Today I will work more on the wings and work on the shoulder pads.

Update June 7th

I worked on smaller details around the body and the hands but mostly focused on making the head. I moved everything so I still need to adjust the teeth.

Today I will refine the head details and also some of the torso that look strange.

Update June 6th

Yesterday I worked on refining the block a bit more. To get back to symmetry and also to add a bit more details to the pieces separately I have split the model into lower and torso sections. The lower part will remain without symmetry.

I also did the chocker (ended up adding the details), a block-out for the shoulders, and also refined the shapes on the chest.

Today I plan to work on the head, leaving it headless for this long is kind of strange.

--- End of update ---

I started this miniature by sketching the final pose, to give a better understanding of the miniature.

To start this miniature, I planned on making a ritual pool of blood (to work as the base) and the miniature on top. Elaborate stones with carved runes would surround this pool. With approximately 12,5cm of diameter equivalent to a 5-inch base.

With the wings, the miniature would be approximately 23cm tall.

Even though the artwork the snake part does a lot of bending, when seeing in 3d it doesn't make much sense. So I will reduce the amount of curves from the bottom to the torso.

That's it for today.

I will keep updating this post as I make progress in this sculpture.

best regards,

Ivo
