uhhh i don't know uuuhhh

 Hi it's almost 10pm I shouldn't be wrting a blog post but, erick wrote a blog post and updated his blog. I'm annoyed. I should be the one blogging. ME!

Anyway. 

I have another blost cooking but it's a bit ways off to be finished because my brain has stopped working when it comes to finishing the goal that that blost will cover. Blost is short for blog post. Anyway.

 I've been locked the EFF in sculpting. Bequest minis posted a sculpt of a giant the other day. God it looks so cool. Unfotunately I'm cheap and pretty broke. One of the reasons I'm broke is I work part time and my job starts super early in the morning so once again, I really shouldn't be writing this post at 10pm. Jeeze there I go again, off tracking it.

Anyway.

Because I'm a cheapo, I thought it would be cool to just sculpt my own giant. A Dope Giant.  Computer, let's see that now.

 

sculpted with CHEAP polymer clay using my methods

wire body with paperclay. Idunno why.

Leg's get Ethical, ethical

Here's where I think things get pretty interesting. I didn't want to sculpt the giant's left leg exactly like the right leg (from the giants POV obviously, duh). I was thinking about a sculpt I did for BigBoyGameTime (as a trade WHERE'S MY SKULL GUY STEVEN??) with big BIG iron boots (inspired by Mike Mignola's story The Iron Boots). Here's a pictures of those boots (I loved this sculpt a lot)

old sculpt inspo not the giant

this is a different sculpt ok

again just an old sculpt

 So obviously, I was thinking about big metal shoes again and asymmetry. Thus, the iron shin maiden was born. 

a little dopey

he has a lil shield and sword :)))

sculpting chainmail whips

 Soooo yeah, that's where it's at. I imagine this giant or the army this giant works under is really convinced that the opposing army will be distracted by the little shin guy, thinking that it's the soldier when the real soldier is towering over them. It's so stupid that it makes me chuckle whenever I think about it. I love this hobby sometimes for the dumb stuff it makes me think of. 

 The pose changed a few times, and what was originally a hand resting on a hip became the spiked bat holding hand. I made the bat from a foraged stick I found when I was constructing my Mischiev/Rumpus board. Heavily inspired by Banhus miniatures and his foraged models.

Anyway, this post got kind of long and rambly. good thing you didn't grab a glass of water before reading it. 

 Now I need to go to bed, goodnight!
