WIP The Lord of Malice

It's been a while since I've done a work in progress log. Most of my internet posting is done on Facebook and Instagram recently, but I'll never abandon the 'ol ship (blog). This was a recent commission and super fun, which I say about every project but I mean it more this time, I swear. I should get better at describing things. Anyway, here's the rundown. 

The figure is from creature caster and was such a joy to work on. The cleanliness of the cast was the best I've seen in a long time. Very miniscule mold lines and the sockets fit perfectly, absolutely zero warping. Here we see our Lord after some quick wetblending. I wanted to make the bone look strong, pretty much the appearance of stoney growths over marrow.  


The color scheme was red white and blue, with a tilt of course but that's the scheme at it's core, a simple complimentary trifecta.


Next I had to add some glowing effects. I wanted the model to say, demon, of course he's s demon but I want a DEMON. So macical properties it is! How fun.


Then it was time to comb over the details and lock in the flavor. Here he is 99% done, final photos coming soon :)


As always stay tuned! On all the various platforms, the fantasy art of sam Lenz on Facebook, samsonosmas on Instagram, and most recently samsonarts on Twitch!

All Hail the Doomcast!

Here's my spin on the Stormcast from Shadespire. I call them the Doomcast Immortals, on this I was going for a badguy look but not necessarily Chaos, Undivided at best. Mainly I used spare Dark Eldar bits and drew inspiration from Celtic designs. I'll be rolling out shots of the individual models as the week goes on. Enjoy!


I'd also like to remind people that I've started streaming on Twitch. Check out my page at Twitch.tv/samsonarts
