and all other mini http://willytheraccoon.deviantart.com/gallery/

now i am really want to sculpt "vine stalker"
all possible arts are welcome

.

The first one is a troll, but what are the other 2?

1 one is troll
2 one is minotaur
3 are Spriggan's team (Assassin melee, Assassin Ranged, Mage)

I have no idea how vine stalkers look, but I found this neat image while googling:

(source: http://greyhawkery.blogspot.com.au/2012 ... chive.html )

I'm imaging something like Starbound's Floran, but I'm too weary to cruise the seas of google's r34 image results to find something that won't get me banned.

You're that guy? I saw your minis on deviantart awhile back. You are very talented.

Also, I saw an in game sprite that was just sorta... Green looking.

Well, there isn't much artistic freedom on the in-game ragdolls, since all the armour and weapons have to fit on them without extensive changes.

I wasn't dogging on the sprite. But it won't be of use here.

Also I meant the monster tile.

I'm gonna be totally awesome and anime this thread up. I've always imagined something like Zetsu from Naruto when picturing Vine Stalkers:

I imagine something like this.

NSFW

Spoiler: show

I always imagined them as those scary tree dudes that hug you to death in dark souls

Apparently like this

Spoiler: show

At least that's what google found. (Bloax linked it in ##crawl-dev

Holy shit OP you done good. You done reaaalll good.

Thank you all for the comments

Glad you like it

Arrhythmia
Thank you :lol:

I think vine stalker should look like human, but his body, all of his muscles are made of vines :mrgreen:

and i have no idea how to sculpt it in 28 mm scale

May be it is something between Starbound's Floran and the Siegurt's picture, but i really want to make it more anthropomorphic.

so i made first one, and it is monk. I will paint it later.

Made by the fimo classic, green stuff
it's 25 mm (0.98 inch) hight.

Well they're supposed to be plant xenomorphs, so I can't really say that having it look like an orc is very fitting.

Bloax wrote:Well they're supposed to be plant xenomorphs

They're supposed to be anthropomorphic masses of thick vines. Anyway it's only my vision.

I always imagined- with their massively rendered maw sprites and all- that they look like Leviathans from the Supernatural TV series.

I see the ropy "vine" musculature and "vine-y" dreadlock hair, but I agree that the face/head should not look so humanoid; these creatures are well-known for their powerful, magic-draining, bite, frequently used in combat.

after much pain and suffering:

Spoiler: show

Human vs Monster head/face (H vs M)
Ok let's see
1. Patashu - H and M because it's only the skull
2. Deimos - H and M because some arts looks more like human and the others more like monster
3. cerealjynx - H
4. Greyr - H :lol:

5. scorpionwarrior - M
6. Siegurt - M
7. Hobnails - H because that guy looks like human before attack
8. Hirsch I - H and M
9. willytheraccoon - H

6H vs 6M and now we know that vine stalker can look both ways

Well this was the actual tile they were supposed to be using until someone never stopped using trolls with downscaled mimic mouths for heads.

I'm not saying your stuff is bad (because it isn't), but I really don't like your "interpretations" of these things.

Bloax wrote:Well this was the actual tile they were supposed to be using until someone never stopped using trolls with downscaled mimic mouths for heads.

Why the HELL we are not using this tile? It's so much better than current fully acidic green coloured tile.

but does it looks a a smiley mouth in conjunction with hats?

this is extremely important

I like it. I can see the plant influence on the limbs.
What would a less pixellated / more refined version of that look like?

Is that a flower bud for a head?
What's the blue in the face/neck represent; teeth? Flower petals?

From this, compared to the miniature, WillyTheRaccoon has the arms / legs / chest right (though alternating brown/green paints would be needed), but would need to swap out the head, and if those aren't gauntlet-covered fingers, make the fingers a little more vine-y.

I think it will look pretty awesome when it's painted and you can more easily make out the vines. Nice minis bro.

XuaXua wrote:Is that a flower bud for a head?

The blue is shitty magic-eating teeth.
And if I told you that this is a xenomorph then what would you think its head is?

(and mind you the head is completely centered)

Bloax wrote:And if I told you that this is a xenomorph then what would you think its head is?

A giant black cock.

Hey Really Giger is turning in his black pupae gestation grave.

Bloax wrote:And if I told you that this is a xenomorph then what would you think its head is?

Well, I wouldn't guess a plant flower bud because it isn't named a "vine stalker".

@willytheraccoon

Your minis are amazing! o___o

About the vine stalker head, I agree that the head should look less humanoid. Why? To make it stand out better from trolls and other races, to give them more character of their own. Judging from your DA site, you like fallout too, do you know spore carriers from New Vegas?

On the other hand, aren't vine stalkers supposed to be some sort of symbiotes/parasites grafted onto/growing from the inside out of a dead(ish) husk of a former humanoid? Maybe when you get to the painting stage, if you can reflect that the humanoid face is being "eaten from the inside" by the plant organism, you can reconcile both approaches. Cracking skin, patches where flesh has fallen off and reveals plant tissue inside... if that face is made to look like it's a vestigial mask from a former humanoid I think it can be kept while not clashing too much with the concept.

In any event, it's you who's making the minis, they're awesome and if people don't like your interpretation, well, they can try their hand at it themselves

hello crawlers, thank you all for the comments

I did not expect so much attention to my post

and here are 2 versions of vine stalker as I see them
second version is more chaotic and and it has Blade Hands transmutation

Ha! That new VS is goddamn amazing.

god damn man the one on the left is insane, congrats A++

The left one is an accurate representation of the madness that is VSTm.

These are just outstanding. Well done!

Amazing work! The blade-handed one would be great for a splash screen.

glad you like it friends

i can make more photos of left VS if you need it

Do you use these in tabletop games?

Since we're waiting I might as well just give a little, lazy stab at coloring it.

(warning: the stupid halo is because i really mean it when i say that it was lazy)

cool color scheme

Greyr wrote:Do you use these in tabletop games?

no, never played any table top or war games, but i think it's possible to use this mini in gaming because of its size

Greyr wrote:Do you use these in tabletop games?

Cool idea. "Crawl: the Tabletop game", using modified WH40k rules. Just kidding they would have to be Crawl rules ofc. Sort of like Space Hulk but without the space or the hulks.

And then your interest in miniatures stems from...?

Psiweapon wrote:And then your interest in miniatures stems from...?

At least one of my friends who "plays" Warhammer, does it mostly cause he likes painting the models, so maybe just a creative streak?

when i was kid there were not much choice toys, because it was Soviet Union

and the best toy was plasticine

now it's a hobby, and now i have polymer clay and green stuff, and i really like the the process of making these tiny toys 8-)

, and painting is cool

I still enjoy making plasticine models occasionally

But I never got well with green stuff :S it's too sticky. Nor do I want to put plastic stuff inside the oven where I cook my food

((

Psiweapon wrote:But I never got well with green stuff :S it's too sticky.

me too, i still don't know how to make whole model from green stuff

ass for me it is like 85 lvl

but details made from green are great (it is toxic as hell :geek:

)
polymer is not that toxic, use fimo it smells like cookies :roll:

Your models are professional quality, ya know? You could sell them to table top gamers (unpainted) for a little pocket money, if you were so inclined.
