 SQUAD LEADER in Black Ops Camo Nice figure. But for some unknown reason, i feel your distinctive style here (oversized legs/feet) not effective as usual... while it usually bring on me a feeling of "power", of "taking the ground", here it just makes me searchin for "what is wrong?" It's an undefined feel and i'm not able to explain better. |

Sorry to hear that Parduz
I was rather pleased with them (despite my physical restrictions when making them).
Hopefully the rest of the squad won't be too disappointing!

Oh, don't be afraid  They are very well drawn and colored as usual. It is just the disproportion that, contrary to all your other figures, bother me a bit.... perhaps this time is a bit too much... i just can't tell why. Anyway i did'nt want to say that i don't like them. |

I was curious, so I did a quick print on him. Looking down from above, I think he looks fine. I honestly hadn't noticed his lower legs and feet being disproportionate until Parduz's note. I guess I was just thinking bulkiness of the hazard suit.
I think this guy can be released AS IS

I got it why it was sounding my brain.... the head is too low.

Hey guys.
Thanks for the criticism-the hood is meant to be pretty tight fitting to the head in my design, so I can see why you wanted it 'stretched'. I think it may be the image I posted-when compared to the same figure from my builds, the eyes and top of head (inside the black border) align fine.
Again, thanks for the criticism, but as this is an example of a mini that will be in a sale set, can I please ask that you don't do any mods and wait for the finished model? Also, as this is a commercial set I would appreciate it if you asked me before modding any of the models contained in it.
Cheers,
A

He's in keeping with your other work..... the foreshortening gives all of your models a certain physical presence. Big stompy feet, it's kind of a signature! Gives them a real comic book feel, hard to describe what it does, but I think the best way is to say the minis seem to have real 'weight', they really stand out on the table.

It's a very cool figure. One of my favorites of yours in fact. Keep up the good work.  |

Definitely crisp design with a high production value. But I can understand Parduz' concern. This guy could have a serious neck problem - or no neck at all. I would imagine him stretching his neck forwards. Then there could be a shadow under his "chin". But maybe this is much too much "could" and "would" ;D. Never mind.

So at long last I have started on a little furry something... Here are the first two pack members from set 8, BAD MOON RISING:   These are just the base colours, so plenty of shading etc to finish up! |

Excellent. One thing I have never seen is a female werewolf. Will you attempt one? Or from a figure standpoint would there not really be a difference?

Well, I normally don't disagree with Parduz, but that Black Ops soldier is AWESOME!
The wolves... FREAKIN' AWESOME!
You are my hero!

Thanks guys! The wolves are going to be 'unisex'-I always imagined the wolf form to be a mass of muscle and pretty much genderless, so that's the way teh pack will be going Enjoying working on these guys after so long, and hope to get them finished relatively soon! Will keep you posted... |

Ahoy! Well, I am finally getting back to normal, so expect more sporadic postings over the coming months LOL! Work is ongoing with the Wolf pack, the game has undergone it's final updates (hopefully!) so it's now down to writing a legible rulebook and re-texturing the board. I have also been tinkering with the Urban Wizard sets for the Occult Terrors line. They are shaping up to be produced as 'mini' sets-the magic user casting and non-casting, either one large adversary or a couple of standard sized enemies, a diorama backdrop and the new 'Occult Stone' bases I have worked up. I have 3 sets in the planning stages, and did a construction test for one already- The Amazing Zandi on his flying carpet basing option:  I am pretty pleased with how it turned out! Will keep you all posted on progress! Cheers! |

Glad to hear your getting back into the swing of things, and this guy looks great. Just seeing the guy int he air and thinking about what you described reminds me of Matthew Patel, from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Demon Hipster chicks FTW !! No seriously, make some Demon Hipster chicks to go with one of your wizards |

All the new sets are looking very cool and I can't wait for the Halloween set to come out.
I'm a fan of all of your stuff, and it's only my poor student status that has stopped me from buying them all right away.
