Happy New Year everyone!
It has been over four years since I've been here! That's wild.
My apologies for the extended absence. I moved states, and all of my stuff was packed up in boxes. I hadn't thought of it in years, up until I found it a few weeks ago!
Now that that's out of the way, here%u2019s Kao Cen Darach!
He's one of my favorite character designs, and it was a ton of fun working on him. Let me know what you think!
This was the last thing left as a teaser, and it's good to finally have him finished.
I haven't done anything like this in almost 4 years, so I definitely have a lot of ground to recover, but all things considered I'm thrilled with how he turned out!
He%u2019s built onto a Takara Microman frame, using a Don Cheadle War Machine head, and a random robe I had in my parts bag.
I hand sculpted all of the body armor onto the frame, horns onto the head, made magnetic hand guards that can be swapped to any of the 6 hands for each side, and sculpted a saber hilt around a paper clip.
Saber hilt is attached magnetically to both the belt and the blade.
I painted it using Testor%u2019s enamel paints(going to need some touch ups, I'd never done enamels before), and all of the sculpting was done with Aves Fixit Sculpt epoxy. After painting, I realized how much more sanding work and clean up I could have done on the armor, which I'll be more mindful of in the future!
Here are some work in progress pictures for reference!

I'm glad to be back, and have lots more in store!
