Description
Exactly what it says on the tin!Also, blurry photos are blurry.
Sculpting in scale with the current sisters of battle minis, though this one is still getting a lot of work and resculpting here and there. There's tons of fluff surrounding corrupt and twisted characters (especially Miriael Sabathiel) but very little artwork.
I kind of had free rain on this one to do just whatever I wanted so tried giving her a twisted smile (the kind of smile a sadist might give you before cutting you into little bits slowly).
Loads of progress has been made since this was taken, I'll upload pics on this deviation as I get them.
Please note: This piece is IP protected, that means no casting, I will do doing many more pieces in the very near future which will not be IP protected.

Are you taking request? I'm kinda looking for a sister of battle model like this
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I'm glad you like her, I will be doing another one as soon as I can (Chaos), but it won't be for sale as all the artwork is owned by another deviant art user.
Unfortunately I don't have the free time for requests or commissions.

I used green stuff (it's also called Duro), but I'm thinking of using super sculpey firm.
You're really welcome mate!

I just wish the real models looked half as good as what you did here X)

In reference to [link] it doesn't matter that the arms aren't completed (speaking purely in terms of my enjoyment of the piece. Did you ever finish the arms?). It's kinda like the Venus de Milo, except that Venus didn't have any legs, and this doesn't have any...
Never mind.

I did indeed finish the arms (finished piece here [link] )

Your gallery is compact. I have no excuse for missing that when I was looking through it.
Bravo!

I probably should have put "WIP" in the title as the arms weren't even finished. ._.

I occasionally do commissions, depends on what a person wants, hope much concept artwork I'm given and if they're prepared to pay a reasonable rate.

What would you charge for a sister of battle like the one you made?
π: 0 β©: 1
About Β£400, the amount of time that goes into sculpting one from scratch.
π: 0 β©: 2
do you ever sculpt for companies?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I mainly sculpt for Troll forged miniatures, but I've done the occasional sculpt for one or two other companies, I don't get a lot of work to be honest.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm trying to get into that. I've sculpted about 7 or 8 figures in greenstuff and i've sculpted probably 15 or 20 total(other clays)I'm getting more confident and i'm improving very rapidly. I have a commission for 3 figures, but the pricing is TERRIBLE!!! i'll probably never sculpt for them again unless they can double what they give me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Unfortunately a lot of places are like that. Β£400 was the best I got paid for one single piece, but with all the time that went into it, it doesn't work out as being very well paid at all.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm in the US and this company in Texas will pay anywhere between $300 to $500 for a figure depending on how complicated it is. That's the level i'm trying to work up to, some of these companies that pay less (not to be insulting of course) but they get what they pay for.
π: 0 β©: 1
Pay is good, but more than this I'd have to say a good company who reply and pay you promptly is more important.
It's all very well getting paid Β£400 for a green, but not if it takes half a year from beginning to end to sort out everything and get paid.
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't even think of that being a problem. Wow, now i worry about when i will get paid for my recent commission (not done with the figs yet of course)
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a HUGE problem, my number one problem in fact, people who waste your time and take months to sometimes email you back.
It's why I keep working with Troll forged, if I need a reply to an email I get one, usually that same day.

Well, at least I know a professional or two down here that can give me the down low on which comapnies around here pay good and which don't. I have a feeling (now that you've told me this) that I will not get paid until thier project is finished and ALL the miniatures for this line are sculpted.

I don't know, generally speaking I'm cautious of anyone who is "starting up" a company.
Ones that are on running tend to be better though.

yeah, I told my wife that if i getted ripped off on this deal, it's not big woop. I'm going to be sculpting to practice anyway. that's why i'm doing this deal. i wont ever do anyting for this price again thogh.

Sounds good, just make sure you do everything you can, a certain company I tried test sculpts for kept some of my greens without paying me a thing.
π: 0 β©: 1
will do, thanks for the tips!
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, thanks anyway. Good luck

Oh wow o_o still can't understand how people like you create such fine details >_< anywho! Great stuff so far can't wait to see this finished good work on adding all those slaanesh symbols
π: 0 β©: 1
Shouldn't be long now until I've finished this one.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, nearly finished her too.
π: 0 β©: 0
Is the fluff official?
I feel like this needs moar spikes. Or perhaps one large spike as part of her right shinguard.
It looks really great. I like the little Slaanesh details.

It is, well part of two older codex books (both chaos 2nd ed and sisters of battle).
Spikes I can work with, planning more on the back pack as well as removing and resculpting the ones on there in this photo.

Aaah, I never read those Codices. I don't think there's any mention of them in the Witch Hunters Codex.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah it was in both of the earlier codices, there was even a couple of pieces of artwork done for the character, so I started with those as a base.

That's not exactly true, Chaos Sisters were never mentioned in any Codex. The Lexicanum article claiming this is simply wrong, and 2nd Edition material even goes so far as to claim that Sisters are "utterly incorruptible".
However, Chaos Sisters did appear in various outsourced/licensed material, such as Miriael Sabathiel for the "Dark Millennium" TCG and Abnett's short story "The Invitation", or the possessed Sororitas in Daemonifuge. Gav Thorpe and Andy Hoare themselves once said that there is no canon for 40k, which explains how there can be so many different (and at times conflicting) ideas floating around in the franchise. This also means, however, that you're basically free to make up what you want. Personally, I have subscribed to Dan Abnett's idea of Miriael Sabathiel as the only Sister that got turned - because Miriael is awesome (and creepy).
For the record, this is an amazing miniature - the amount of detail is stunning, and the facial expression fits perfectly. Any chance of seeing a painted version?
