So, without much ado, here it is. Some twenty hours work total (prep work, sculpting, polishing).

The man himself:

Family photo with Ultralisk:

Please post comments on my deviantArt, if you have an account.


I've got some stones left over, and I'm not sure what to make next, but first I'll hopefully be entering a new job (probably getting decision today, hoping for your support on the karma front) and moving to a different city.
edit: Karma support seems to have helped. Got the job, and we'll probably get the flat we liked best :-)
So sorry, stone working is on the back burner until the move is complete.


I'm collecting suggestions now. Please include subject and color.

Some options I'm considering are DT, Roach, Brood Lord, Immortal, Mothership, Cruiser and Banshee. Currently available colors are black, blue, ice green and white. Also, I really want to try out my mold making equipment and pour some casts of Baneling and Ultralisk.

edit: due to popular demand

edit: a little mockup of what I think I'll do next. The immortal seems to have won by a fair margin, green and blue appear to be the most popular colors. I'd like to reserve black for further Zerg figures, I think, to keep a color theme going.

The intention is to make a two-part figure, immortal walking sideways and back, firing in an up direction (in green stone) and having it attacked from behind, triggering its shield, which in a perfect world will come out as a half-translucent part of a sphere with a hex grid on it (blue stone).

Awesome work. I was a big fan of your Ultralisk, and this is another nice piece of work. I like how the bulb of the Baneling looks like a rock (at least in the picture, that could be an effect of lighting?); it gives the sculpture a sort of hybrid artificial/natural feel.

Jesus, how the hell did you do that?? -.-
I'm terrible at these kind of artistic creations, so I can never understand how people manage to create these kind of things lol

Amazing job anyway

I like the different texture of green explody bit of the baneling, a lesser man would have polished it all :D
I too am a fan of your ultralisk. I hope that you get that job

I think a banshee in a really dark blue would be awesome, because in game when they are cloaked (but revealed), they kinda have a dark blue colour.

5/5 Amazing work again! Banelings so cute next to the Ultra.

I shudder at the amount of time it will take to sculpt enough banelings to be able to kill that Ultra ^_^

Too much. Plus, it might get me in legal trouble. Selling fanart is a very grey area, basically it's illegal but sometimes tolerated by the copyright holders.

I was considering making a couple of casts and giving them to people like TotalBiscuit or Day[9] to use as prizes in events.
