It took me a long time to work out what to do with Simon’s beautiful sculpt: there are just so many ways you could interpret it…

In the end I took the cosmic horror into a sci-fi style. I always love the friction in mashing organic and fantastical elements with futuristic stylings (e.g. H.R. Giger), so I tried to mirror Lovecraft’s tentacled monsters with a writhing mess of cables. 

The base grew straight out of my collaborators’ work: I think both Simon and I were inspired by Totally Not Panicking’s immense diorama display. Here I continued the style, putting my rather pathetic looking cultists in massive metal orb-helmets, wiring several of them straight into the plinth of their beloved deity.

Needless to say this was an awesome project to be part of, and I hope my work has done credit to Simon’s superb initiative 🙂

 Dear Hobbyists,

The solstice is only hours away and with that the conclusion of this little endeavor. It is time to have a look at the entries that you can win.

How to that, check the page „PARTICIPATE“ right there————>

The first project that shall be shown here, is my own.

More after the jump!

So, to tackle my own sculpt was somewhat difficult to begin with. The first vision I had in my mind was that of a four-armed genestealer patriach, but I discarded that quickly as it appeared to 40k, or to … existing. As if we all had seen that once to often.

So, I was stuck. The whole project was sitting on my table and stared at me for weeks, until I had a dream (some might say a nightmare) that gave me some direction to go. 

Here is a quick drawing of what I remembered from that dream:

The winner will also get the drawing

Having a direction, the project escalated rather quickly. I not only started to sculpt the additional arms and the head on the cast, but I also wanted to add some miniature worshippers, that would go with the statue. The winner, so I hope, might use them as the start for a warband or a NPCs for their tabletop games. Having started to work on them, the question quickly arose, how these pieces should be presented together.

A thing I have seen a few times already and I have quite liked a lot, was the presentation of models in those glass domes. So, I settled for a diorama base, that would fit into one of these you can buy at ikea (since they are glass, I will not ship them along the models, since it will most likely break during transit).

Concluding, this project has been massively fun. One the one side, because I could do what I enjoy. Furthermore, the money raised, will hopefully do something good, where I cannot reach. But the most delightful part for me was the interaction with the other artists. Sharing ideas, concepts and constantly inspire each other was a wonderful thing to be part of and I want to that each and every single one of them to step up to the task and do their magic.

Thank you very, very much.

Finally, here are some impressions of my entry:

Dear Hobbyists,

I have been approached by several people wishing to obtain a cast of the statue aswell. We have discussed this and have decided to make the casts available.

 

But you can not simply “buy” a cast. We don’t want to generate money for ourselves with this project. If you want to have a cast you need to do the following:

1. Donate 20$ to one of the organizations we support with this event.

2. While you are donating anyway, why not add a bit for a raffle ticket aswell? For every additional 5$ you get a ticket for the raffle.

2. Send the confirmation of the donation (or a screenshot of it) until the 21.12.2021 to solstice28@gmx.net 

3. The shipping costs will depend on where you are located. Check www.dhl.com to get an idea what shipping costs (I am sending the casts from germany). 

 If you have any further questions, shoot us an email.
