Hunts tail is not as short as it appears in this picture, it just curves away from the camera, making it look unusually short. Hunts is technically female, but Garou tend to look rather androgynous in Crinos. And they don't have huge bouncy breasts to indicate gender. Sometimes its hard to tell just by looking.

Overhead view to show the positioning of her arms. Tying the guts on while making the armiture was really difficult. It was eventually done by taking two stips of wire, laying them flat next to each other, then coating them in marking tape. Then they were bent onto the frame of the letters, and sculpted over. Odds of them breaking, about nil. They're reinforced with 20 gauge wire.

The neon sign is supposed to be the one on top of the Raganarok Casino owned by the Gte of Fenris, but I didn't feel like doing the whole darn sign, so it cuts off after the first two letters and a bit of the third. If I send more scukpures to Helsinki, I may finish the rest of the sign, so if someone is lucky enough to win the rest they'll have the whole sign...and it'll glow under black light!

For some unknown reason, chocolate bar brown (the name of the acrylic paint) always photographs maroon when I use the digital camera. In real life, Hunts mane and spinal ridge are a dark chocolately brown, not this odd red color. (correcting with photoshop just makes the rest of her funny colors)

Hunts' fur color was a bit of a shot in the dark, as her depiction in Rage has her in heavy shadow much of the time, but she has a golden orange color on the edge of her fur (the lit part) in the Lupus picture. In Crinos, in shadow, she's brown. So here she's shown with a somewhat mottled coat of yellows and browns. The same dusty orange was used in the background for the Fox girl picture http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Fenris-Lorsrai/foxgirlfinal.jpg as it was done while I was waiting for Hunts paint to dry, and I had a lot of leftover orange...

Hunts ties some hapless victims entrails across the sign to the Ragnarok Casino's neon sign. She looks so gleefully happy about it too... hopefully they belonged to someone very bad.
The blood effect on the entrails was done by adding red acrylic to Elmer's clear school glue gel and slathering it on liberally to give it some extra 'weight'. It also dries with a high shine.

Like all my other sculptures, Hunts is apoxie sculpt over a wire, foam and masking tape armiture. She's painted in acrylic and tempera. The tempera part if the bright orange letters, which glow under black light!

Lone Wolf Circles, a metis Philodox Red Talon. He was offered as the prize for the Rage: Apocalypse tournament at GenCon 2002. front underside shot.

showing off the painting on his belly and chest. The base is a natural stone which I dug up out of the brook by my home in Connecticut. Putting sculptures on rocks can be tricky because you need to take into account that they need to be to scale with the figure. He's roughly 1/10 to 1/12 life size, so any crystals in the rock have to be imagined 10 times as big. If they'd look stupid that big, pick another rock. This one was chosen because of it looks like a miniture version of much of the glaciar cracked and rubed rock you find in new England.

Just showing off where his tail is. I find positioning the tail is often one of the hardest parts of the sculpture. The rest, you can put yourself in the position and work from that real life picture, but unless there's artists out there with real tails, you have to guess about the tail.

Did I mention how much I like Lone Wolf's pose? The roll of the head really please me, and the line of his whole body. The half bent arm he's supporting himself on makes it look like he's being crushed under the weight of the world, or cringing, warding off a blow he thinks is coming. From this underside shot, it also makes him look like he's looking up towards the sky, like asking "why me?" Lone Wolf is my favorite character from the storyline.

This shows off the way Lone Wolf is sprawled out. I'm very fond of those pose, which happened quite accidentally. I droppedthe armiture while positioning it, and the legs fell in that sprawl. The paint job looks a little busy this close up, but you can view him half finished at http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Fenris-Lorsrai/Sketches/lonewolfsketchinround.jpg and see the body positioned without any facial expression.

The hand by his face came out kind of funny looking. I'm not terribly happy with it, but the rest of the sculpture is great.

Lone Wolf Circles gouges his own eye out. Note the hand he's resting his weight on is the one with the blood on it, not the one by his face. Note the gouged eye is also white. He was blind in that eye already. He gouged his eye out so that people would incorrectly assume he'd lost it in a fight, not that he was born with a blind eye. (he's also deaf on the same side) That doesn't mean it was easy to do though, thus the look of shock and pain on his face.

This picture unfortunately came out a little fuzzy around the eyes. However the positioning is the important part here, where he looks like he's been cuaght midmovement, flinching away from the upraised paw. The bent arm supporting him really helps with the effect, as a straigth arm would hold him stiff and rigid, rather than like he's still moving.

I'm very fond of Lone Wolf's expression and positioning, as it changes the mood depending on what angle you're looking at him from. From this view he looks more shocked than anything else. The important thing to note here is which hand has the blood on it. Why does the hand not touching the wound (on the nonvisible side of his face) have blood on it. Answer.... it must have been self inflicted.

Lone Wolf has one of the most complicated paint jobs I've ever done, which was done in many, many layers. The white belly and underparts were done first, and then succesive layers of darker shades of brown were painted along the edge. Then he was highlighted in reverese order, the darkest color being dry brushed onto the adjascent shade and so on in each shade. He was then washed in black and highlighted in off white.

Gillian Fangs-First (Lupus Ahroun Get of Fenris)was offered as the prize for the Rage: Tribal War tournament at GenCon 2002. Richard Kane Ferguson's depiction of Gillian in the Rage CCG was used as reference.

I'm very fond of the eyes on both heads. Gillian has a proper ferocious intensity to her gaze, emphasized by the dark outlining around her eyes. The dragon's eyes are only vaguely visible in the photo, but they're rolled in two different direction and partially back into the heads. They're done in a pale bluegrey (matching Gillian's undercoat) and the pupils were done in a midtone grey instead of black, so as to give it that proper fisheyed dead look.

With WW Garou, its pretty hard to indicate gender. Gillian compared to my other Garou has longer thinnner limbs. Her hands and claws in particular are a light lighter than the other Garou. She's a bit narrower across the skull and has a more distint waist, but that's about it. Garou in Crinos aren't supposed to have external gender signals. So no breasts for Gillian. And the males don't have anything hanging out. The official party line on males is that they're retractable. O-kay.

Gillian, mighty warrior that she is, has balls of steel. No, really. Because the sculpture is so tall and light (less than a pound) I partially hollowed out the base and included 4 steel balls in the bottom which then got covered in Apoxie sculpt so they're hidden. The steel balls were from a railroad steel joiner, which is a machine they run along the tracks to spot weld joints.
She's really stable now, you have to whack her pretty good and high up to tip her over.
The people at the GenCon tournament were amused, since in tournament, Gillian (the CCG character) was kicking serious tail. They atrributed it to the ferocious rendition of herself. It's like she had herself as a personal totem!

Gillian, like most of my sculptures, is Apoxie sculpt over a foam and wire armiture. The base is foam with a veneer of Apxie sculpt over it with sand pressed into it while still wet. But now I know the secret to getting the sand to adhere better, use damp sand instead of dry. Not wet, but damp. And let it dry without brushing all the excess off.

Despite appearances to the contrary in these photos, Gillian is not actually white. She's a very pale blue grey. She was heavily highlighted in white, but her undercoat is actually blue. The camera just wasn't picking up the color correctly. I kept the blueish color scheme from Ferguson's original color scheme, but passed on the big yellow teeth. Her's are shiny white. The eyes are also a bit more detailed, having a couple different shades of yellow, instead of the fairly flat one used in the CCG picture (which incidentaly matched the color of her teeth. Ick)

I really like how Gillians hands came out. Even though neither hand is actually in the gore of the severed neck, she had to get the head off the body somehow! So both sets of claws and her face are stained with blood from having battled the beast and then removed its head.

I despise her tail though. I moved its position several times during the initial positioning. Once I'd sculpted her to the shoulders, I finally decided it really should follow the line of her spine for balance, which meant it really should be tucked partially between her legs. So I then SAWED OFF the tail I'd orginally sculpted, and repositioned it in this down position. I couldn't quite bring myself to put the conquering hero's tail tucked between her legs like it should be for balance reasons. So it looks a bit off.

Gillian looks a little off balance from behind because she's partially turned. The blood dripping from the head is only down the one side of her body to indicate the direction of the turn as she was lifting it into position. The blood trail behind her indicates she was travelling, not simply standing and lifting.

The severed head was actually sculpted seperate from the rest of Gillian. It was placed in her hands after she been sculpted all the way to the elbow. The forearms and the hands were the last part done, and the finished head was placed between them then after the rest of the structure had time to dry, so it would sit securely.

Gillian has a thing for heads. In her Crinos depiction in the CCG, she's shown holding up a trophy string of severed humans heads, with one guy still struggling, tied into the mass. Rather than doing a direct copy of the picture, I chose to have her carrying off the head of a monster she's killed, holding it overhead and howling triumphantly.
It's gory and violent, but less so than her original depiction. Here she's clearly a hero, fighting evil Wyrm creatures. In her picture for Rage, because she's shown with humans she's killed, and one she's clearly torturing, its very ambiguous as to whether she's a hero, or just a murderous psychopath.

Mostly this shows the positioning clearly. It also shows the little white star on Speaks forehead thats not visible in most of the pictures. He got the star as he's playing a Stargazer, which are supposed to Eastern mystics. So its a subtle little hint at the third eye used for seeing the mystical. Who knew paint jobs were so symbolic?

Its a werewolf butt! From this angle you can clearly see the black ticking down the spine and across the shoulders and hips. The tip of the tail is also black.

From this angle you can see Speaks just starting to turn his body in the direction the spirit is pointing. For some reason he looks walleyed in this picture. The eyes really are pointing in the same direction, the angle is just awfully funky.
You can also see, a little bit fuzzily, that he's got four toes in front and back. Normally, for the Crinos garou, I do five in front as hands, and only three in back. Since he's in Hispo, he's got these great spreding four toed feet instead. The feet are very large and heavy comparitively, sort of a stab at the "like a lynx" I got as part of the original description.
