Shadow Tower invasion + two comic characters

Here are ten new mini figures that I made recently. The first eight are monsters from a 1998 Playstation first-person real-time RPG called Shadow Tower, while Robin V (Damian Wayne) and Morg are from DC and Marvel Comics, respectively. I do have the usual rotating animations, mid-construction photos, background information, and reference images, but, in the interest of not bogging down the thread with an absurd amount of pictures and text, I've exercised some restraint. If you wish to see those things, simply click on the link underneath each picture to visit that figure's respective web page.

The textures on the barrel snail are very good. It looks like a real living snail.

Earlier today I sat and looked at these for about an hour trying to figure out which was my favorite. I think the Dread Knight is because I like his design which you captured well, but also how you made the crystal through his chest.

The watcher plant and casket are my favorites but these all look awesome. Btw, what did you use to make the dread knight's crystal?

I can't tell whether the dragon fossil's left leg is an entire skeleton or if a smaller creature is standing in front of it. Whatever the case, it looks cool.

If you click on the link he provided you will see he used a thin sheet of transparent plastic which he then cut and folded using a guide he created on notebook paper.

Ahh, didn't see that, thanks Leader.

Chiknhart: I measured out/drew the crystal's pattern on paper, glued that to a piece of transparent plastic, scored the bend lines with a knife, cut it out, removed the paper, and then folded the crystal up into its proper shape, and jammed it through the unfortunate Dread Knight's innards. The plastic came from a Toy Biz/Hasbro Marvel Legends figure's packaging.

Grimlink: There is indeed a smaller creature (the player character version of the Dragon Fossil) standing in front of the larger Dragon Fossil's leg.



Zombie Miner



The reanimated remains of unfortunate miners that can be encountered in From Software's 2001 King's Field: The Ancient City (King's Field IV) Sony Playstation 2 roleplaying video game. Many sought out the mysterious minerals known as the Rocks of Life (stones that have the power to cure any disease or wound) in the Cursed Land's mine, and many lost their lives in the attempt--the truly unlucky joined the ranks of the undead.

Zombie Miners are doomed to forever roam through the shafts and tunnels of the cursed quarry that claimed their lives. While they shamble about slowly, do not underestimate their reflexes, for they can swing their pickaxes, which have a very long reach, with astonishing speed. These monsters also frequently vomit up puddles of toxic green bile. Anyone who walks through this noxious fluid will suffer damage and become poisoned. Being undead, a Zombie Miner can pass through its own regurgitations without suffering any ill effects.


Materials:
Newsprint, white glue, wire twist ties, dog hair (the animal was not harmed in acquiring it), acrylic paint, and plastic (transparent base only).

Dimensions:
4.0 cm/1.6 in. x 4.1 cm/1.6 in. (widest point x highest point)

Time:
One day: July 1st, 2012.

Up close and personal with a Zombie Miner.

I don't know why but I am infatuated with the little pull strings on his pants.

Whoa shit Shadow Tower Invasion has amazing designs, you don't have a sprite bestiary up do you?

Casket, barrel snail, watcher plant and blood skull are all such kick ass concepts, and your sculptures look great. I like blood skull as a sculpture the most, because a little figure of a bloody skull in a puddle of gore is just something that always needed to exist.

Shadow Tower is a completely 3D game, so there aren't any sprites, only polygon models. Here's a link to a site that has a complete bestiary; the screenshots are taken directly from the in-game creature book:
