Female Monster Hunter in Rathian Armor

And, just as I'm getting on a roll, here, I have to delay things a bit to focus on the 2nd Trifecta Prophet. things will still happen, just not as fast.

You gotta do what you gotta do. LOKA, you DO have a flipping-the bird hand, don't you?

Nightcrawler hand...heroic sword pose hand...

Yup, there it is

I figured I at least owed you this much:



Sculpting is 95% done on figure. Need to do lots of sanding and shaping work, then painting.


Seems you quote has been redacted by the feds.

Seems to have been declassified now.

She is all kinds of perfect Mike! I cannot WAIT to see her finished, weapons in hand!

man not done yet, nobody told you to sleep.

Man, this is looking fantastic. Great sculpting and flawless paint work.

I would expect nothing less!

Okay, finally made some progress.

Still needs lots of tweaking, but this should give you a fair idea of what she'll look like:



BF - feel free to request changes and I'll do my best to implement them.

this is definitely outstanding, loving the paint details... and that sword... loving all of it.

Holy shizzle sticks, this is awesome. Brave is going to be so happy.

Hope so.

Still several things I'm not happy with. Hopefully, I can fix them without having to rework entire elements.

...And I still owe him a greatsword.

What ya not happy with bro, lets brake it down. You might just be to hard on yourself, to me from the pics, it looks fucking amazing.

The scales are a bit thick and could use some trimming/shaping. One cluster needs replacing as it didn't fit quite right.

...And honestly - not happy with the paint apps on the scales.

can you take a few pics of it from different angles with out the sword? To me it looks good, I can see the thickness your saying but I dont think its Bad. I dont know the art its based on, or character, or if its totally original, but it is a chick wearing all the armor, most things would look a bit bulkier . I think it looks realistic as is.

As far as the paints, you just dont like how it blends, or just not liking the colors in general?

I'd honestly rather spend time correcting the problems instead taking and posting pics of them. The thickness is very noticeable in the shoulder areas and just needs a little dremel time. Paint apps just didn't come out as nice as the first ones on the head piece. need to go back and apply a wash and add some detail - after thinning and shaping a bit. These are based on Brave's in-game character, so trying for accuracy based on the source art provided.

Whoa, just when it seems it can't get any better, Loka sets a whole new level of awesomeness!

I won't ask where the head came from, but the face has a decidedly Asian appearance I'd love to get a hold of...

No secret there - that's a Liz Swann head from one of the POTC sets. Any Asian features are the result of my repainting the face. If you really want one, I'd say keep an eye on the founder's section

I Love it, Mike! You're amazing!

I can see where you think the scales are too thick, but seriously I'm not wanting you to take too much time on thinning them out. The monster which the scales are taken from have really thick scales that ingame were never really represented correctly. We can call this artistic freedom, because honestly, I can't see how you'd want to further perfect her. I guess that's why you're still king of customs

Cool - but I'm still gonna tweak her a bit
