Jody Siegel of Imbrian Arts recently previewed his incredible sculpt of Cú Chulainn for Eureka Miniatures on the OzPainters forum.
Cu Chulainn is a character from Celtic mythology. He’s known to go into “warp spasms” which is similar to berzerker rages but according to some of the stories the body sometimes takes on some strange contortions similar to shape changes. The client wanted the miniature to be more human shaped (and naked) so I decided to make the veins very visible to show off the stress that the body is under.
This is an incredible sculpt. It’s dynamic, exudes power, and has the perfect amount of detail for a model of this type (enough to make the sculpt come to life, but restrained to the proper degree so that it’s not overly intimidating to paint). I’m getting two.
