February Patron Commission - The Prophet (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update March 3rd

This is probably the last WIP post. I Have added details to the miniature. Almost done with the staff.

To be done: pose his right hand and add details to it. Add details to the spell effect. Fix a few intersection problems with the cape. Add a bit of battle damage to the Gloves, Boots, and Tabard.

I made a version of him without the hood but it did not turn out that good (simply because it looks like a random wizard) therefore I won't add it to SKU.

Update March 2nd

Posed the model and added details to some pieces. I will now do the cape and the staff afterward (The current staff is just a placeholder). 

The pose was hard to find but I managed to find one that I liked (after 4 pose resets). I will put a modular hand on his right. Unfortunately, since the staff has some hanging things, I think it's for the best that it is integrated into the miniature but fear not, I will leave it as a separate object so you can take it to Blender or other software to remove the staff if that's what you wish for.

Update March 1st

Added details to some pieces. I am working on the Bag and belt. After this, I will make the book that he keeps on his right side.

Since most of what he wears is clothes I will soon pose the model and then work on the clothes.

I just reviewed some typing errors, sorry for my bad English.

-- End of Update --

Today I am sharing with you a bit of the starting point for The Prophet.

Before we continue, please note that everything is only a low poly block that will, later on, be replaced for something better (I hope).

At this stage, I am looking to find the major shapes for the miniature so that I can have an idea and plan my sculpting process. I have picked many art references and picked a bit of each to make a version that I liked.

About the pose, for now, I don't really have one in mind but I want to make him hold the staff and wave his right hand with a spell effect. I don't want to make him so static because the cape will cover most of his body, and I want to give it a bit of movement.

He will be available in March for Patreon, Minihoarder, and Catarse. On Tribes, he will be available in April. After those months he will be unlocked only as a 3 monthly Loyalty reward.

I will keep updating this post as I move in the sculpting process, if you have any comments and suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.

Best regards,

Ivo
