I had so much fun making this baddie. It took almost 10 ounces of putty. So he's pretty heavy.

WIP pics . . .

AMAZING!

I realize he's likely unposeable, but none the less, good work! That Road Pig head was a great choice.

Yeah, the body was sculpted, so he doesn't move. But the character doesn't articulate his movements- he is a sneaky, bouncy, SOB none the less. :-D

JFAK,

I'm not at all familiar with the game, but this is just spectacular. Excellent work again, brother.

My favourite aspect of this is the colour match to the pic. Outstanding.

One thing that I noticed to make it better is if you painted the pustules a slightly greyer colour. I think it would give them the look of being about to burst, like in the pic and game.

If you made another, maybe go with sponge stuffed soft goods, that way you retain shape and articulation on the legs and shoulders. You'd still lose the waist and elbows, but might make for a lighter, more posable version.

Great stuff anyhows.

Thanks for the comments.

Once again . . .

I was going to wait for a group posting to say how great they all were, but to this point your boomer is so cool I had to post earlier then panned.

John, another sick one - but in a disgustingly good way. lol

Keenan · **Posted:** Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:52 pm

This was my first almost fully sculpted figure, so I was very happy with the outcome.

Wow. That is gross. Accurate, but gross.

On a completely different note, I'd liek to see you try your hand a sculpting your own figure from scratch. I think that would be killer since you could do the articulation however you wanted it. Just throwing that out there.

That is an absolutely disgusting but GREAT custom. I didn't get the game yet but it looks like that character is all boil and puss filled. Your custom does a great job of capturing that. I ended up opting for Gears of War 2 but Left 4 Dead is next on my list to pick up.

Very cool, disturbing, but cool. The nastiness of his stomach and jowels are too much.
