Never posted my Secret Santa model that I made, and after getting yelled at by Ramshackle Curtis, I realized that he's right I should just throw it up and show you.
A couple of months ago I made a post about wanting to slow down and focus more. Take my sculpting more seriously, and making my painting more meditative.
Through doing that I realized that I deeply missed the OTHER side of the coin. Making a mess and seeing what happens.
I crushed out the bash on this guy in a night. It's similar to what I do when bashing with friends. I used the Miscast/Trent style built up base, where I mashed a lot of sci-fi junk into something interesting all held together with glue and greenstuff.
The base of this bash is a Wargame Scenery? (I think) mech boy that was given to the Hive Scum studio by the Michigan Carnage Club (I think Jay3 specifically). From there I slapped a fish head by Gardens of Hecate and Smashbash, a Final Faction (dollar store toy) saw for the arm and the tyranid arm. I filled in the gaps with a messy mix of greenstuff, dirt and glue, wires, and tamiya paste.
Then I primed it when it was still curing before going to bed
Quick, dirty, and FUN!
Then I did the same thing with the paintjob. My toddler sat on my lap and we slapped a brownish basecoat, then that night I just hit the details with a little highlight. It felt good to let LOOSE!!
Anyways. Sometimes you gotta slow down, and sometimes just blasting through feels good.
PEACE!
