I had to do some major facial remodelling.
The left eye was badly misaligned and the mouth looked terrible.
I'm still not happy with the result but this is as good as he's gonna get for now.
I want to do a series of different heads after this just to get better at making them.
Soon I'll have to move on to the bat and also I want to add some props and maybe try a new hand making technique I've thought about.
Will update.

Vampire face calculations
Not much to say yet. The head is again slightly enlarged and I miscalculated the size of the teeth so he looks a bit grotesque. I'll try to sharpen the gorget when it cures.

I like big bats and I cannot lie
I've done some work. The amount of mass on the bat creature is pure insanity compared to what I'm used.

New project: Vampire spec-ops riding Dire-Bat
Starting on a new project
1:56/Warpunk/Vampire Spec-Ops riding Dire-Bat.
I'm keen to see how it goes. There are going to be a lot of special challenges.
The scale 1:56 is a good fit for 28mm miniatures size. I'm working right now mostly in Green Stuff AKA blue/yellow Kneadatite. Later I'll use KraftMark ProCreate which I prefer for the outer layers work. That's just a personal preference.
The Warpunk genre is simply a mash up between stock fantasy and 20th century military themes.

Tweaked out space dude
28mm or 1:56 scale science fiction trooper. This guy is part of the planetFallers force and is a communications/combat drone operator. Sculpted mainly with Kraftmark ProCreate and PSI yellow/blue kneadatite for the understructure. The base is one from several I have lying around that's from a big name brand game and is for display purposes.
Done some tweaks:
Elongated the fingers on both hands.
Sanded and shaved the edges of the shoulder pads.
Lengthened the one knee pad that was short.
Enhanced the nape of the helmet.
I'm eager and way tired to start the next one which is in the Warpunk genre. It's going to be awesome.

Hoping for nice fingers.
A lot of sanding and carving later, I'm feeling slightly less temporarily disappointed with this guy and slightly more temporarily liking him. I sculpted a few additional details as well. Trying out a new technique for the hands, I hope to get nicer fingers out of it. Let's hope!

28mm Space Man from the Stars. (1:56)
1:56 Starship crew
1:56 scale is a good fit for the ubiquitous 28mm scale. The miniature was sculpted mostly in Kraftmark ProCreate with some PSI blue/yellow Kneadatite (AKA Green Stuff).
The design is meant to be simple, leaving ample room for the player to customize the uniform. It's somewhat of a military look with strong inspiration from fighting vehicle crew but with some stylistic differences. He's got some pouches and is holding a gadget. I wanted to give, rather than a pose of action, one of readiness or anticipation but at the same time confidence and professionalism.
I included some group photos along with my recent 1:56 sculpts.
I'm eager to work on the next miniature!
Comments, questions and criticism are most welcome.
