Wow! Your sculpting is really really good! The poses you have chose and great and the general look is really complete, especially the fur (Which I think is something so often done wrong) looks wonderful. The Lineman who is scratching his head looking a little sheepish is my favourite, he really captures how I think skaven linemen would be on the field... fodder. Maybe you could do one with a bit more cowering going on which would be appropriate for the line of scrimmage rats.


I have to say that multiple breasts always look a little silly (Out side of Slaanesh, Total Recall and the hitch hikers guide to the galexy). It really makes me think of a Slaanesh skaven before a rat-woman. Arent skaven females ment to be huge and docile contantly either giving birth of concieving?

That's just fan-tastic! I love them, and I love how easy they will be to use together with GW rats, seeing how their heads have the same look. Marvellous!

EDIT: How about making a goblin-sized ratman? Or perhaps more than one and people could use them for Underworld teams of all rats!

I like the idea and the positioning of the body, good job! :D The only thing that seems to me a bit weird is the size of the head, seems out-of-proportion compared to the body.

Thank you for all the feedack! Today i tried to implement your improvment suggestions directly.

@Angor: I tried to solve the "breast-problem" by adding something like a bra. Now the first row is covered and the shreds hanging about the other four breasts... hope that's working...
@Dark Duke: You're right. I scaled-down the head a bit. Snout and nose are much thinner now. Maybe the long hair is intensifying the impression of the "big head" too.
@Akka: I dont think im going to create other sized ratmen. The advantage of the human-sized rats is that you can bring them in totally dynamic positions. That is not possible (to me :D) by using a smaller scale.

Hope she's looking better now,

You're right, the long hair has that effect. Have you finished it? I liked more the previous one (thinner).

The addition of the bra and the shoulder pad improved her appearance, at least in my opinion, well done! :wink:

Very nice, just some questions.

1.are the arms really thin? They look a tad off in the pic.

2. Have you considered putting some freckle like dents in the face to represent whisker holes?

@Akka: Ratazons :D Nice idea and a nice name too, but don't forget I'm just an amateur in sculpring and I've never sculpted a whole team... So I am only thinking a bit at a time.

@Dark Duke: These long "sausages" are only the basis for the upcomming details. There will be no dreadlocks or something like that on the finished rat.
She's not a hippie, but rather a ratazon like Akka would name it :smoking:

@arthurinkpen: the arms are not finished, will get thicker and maybe also some armor parts. Right now I have seen these freckles... but... I did not do that, so i think it's dirt on the mini. Have to check that today... :D

Best regards,
shitzzo

I really like Lukas's work ... but the head on this figure just seems out of proportion to the rest of the figure for this one.

I like the details just feels like the scale of the figure is a bit off.

I think it is fine. Not saying it may not be off but I don't see it (Have to admit I do need new glasses, though).
