Kingdom Death: White Speaker Boss

Hazardous

Hey Dudes,

Started blocking in a new sculpture for Kingdom Death!!
Shes the Boss of the White Speakers (the first chick I sculpted for Kingdom Death)

I'll try keep a record of all the steps etc here, hopefully they might be useful for someone else.

The goal for this one is to have a full size model for my desktop, probably around 9 inches! And will be sharpening up, fattening up or loosing all together many of the small details for the final tabletop version.

The concepts and sketches by the legendary Lokman Lam.







Basic block in shapes:



Alot still to block in, but getting the main things blocked out first. I'll most likely be sculpting the head seperate and plugging that in later. everything else will be sculpted posed. Also will be moving her staff around the back, impaled in the skull, so she will be leaning against it.

Onwards!!

It is already rad. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

What's your process for the hair? It's awesome already.

daphz: Thanks man, me too! the pedestal is rediculous I hope I can pull it off!
Hboybowen: THe hair is pretty dirty upclose, its about 4 - 5 different strands of polys duplicated and smooshed about in zbrush. I use the technique alot just to get the idea across. Its going to need to be replaced with a airtight mesh when i get to sculpting it proper . Yup thats kingdom death
duncan: Thanks man!
LRoy: Thanks man! Answer just above

looking awesome. if i were to throw in any criticism, it's that her face is too long, and not as round as the concept.

other than that... well, you know it's good work, you know i love your stuff. so show me the moneyshot bro.

Dan!

yeah dude it's gonna be sick..I feel like the pedestal/throne may prove to be distracting when translated to 3d but we'll see. I agree the face looks a little long and flat atm but if it turns out anything like your valkyries face it'll be just fine.

Rally good stuff here Great concepts and great pose choice. Looking forward to see some more !

Hey, I always like your work Haz, and this is no exception. If i were to crit at this early stage, I'd say its simply that you've obviously gone a more realistic route than the concept seems to indicate, especially the face.

I'll be following this one, keep it up!

I really like pose A, but I'm sure this one will come out awesome as well. What exactly is she doing to her wrist? I wonder how well that plant thing will translate to a printed model.

The head/rock she's sitting on looks a little more squished/wide in the concept to me. I think adjusting that in your model to create a slightly more triangular composition would help stabilize things.

Very cool though. Those things are like Kodamas gone bad.

very nice! did you get him to draw those for you specifically?
