Custom Mordrak

[Tupenzero]

I needed a model for Mordrak and I could easily have made a termi with a hammer and called it good, but I thought he needed some special attention. Here is what I have so far.

Nice skirt :D

Looks good, I really like the flowing robes, but I'm less sure about the ropes which feel a little long and straight.

I'd also be tempted to use the textured brotherhood banner but yours makes more sense scale-wise

Fantastic sculpt. I can see 1 leg, but have you used normal legs under the robes? Any plans for the Ghost Knights?

[Tupenzero]

Isotope, I completely agree. The issue was that the ropes were giving me a heck of a time and I couldn't get them to stay bent so they just kept flexing back out. I plan on fixing them though. I post a pic once I get the ropes fixed.

Shades, No, just armiture and the leg you see is actually just green stuff and plastic tube. As for the ghost knights, those are already done. Here's a pic.

The bases have been finished since the pic.

After working with it for a few minutes this is what I have. I think it looks loads better. I didn't want them to be whipping around too much as I feel that the ropes would be much heavier than the cloth, thus less likely to be gently rippling through the breeze.

I think the ropes are about double the length they need to be honestly.

The robes are very well executed, but I have to agree with firebird that they are a little on the long side.

[Tupenzero]

fair enough. I think you may be right. I was going for stylized, but I think it might be better to just shorten them, even just for practicality of wear and tear during play. If I change it I will post more pics.

His leg appears to be turned at an unnatural angle, or does the pose just look awkward cause of the camera angle? I can't tell if he's walking forward and just turning to look back or if his leg is indeed rotated outward. Also something to try for the rope, use some wire or paper clip as an armature to get the desired bend in the rope when GSing it and the wire will keep the GS from changing shape as it dries (also agree the rope seems a bit too long). Fantastic sculpt though, I wish I could sculpt that well.
