Hi, Realmers !

Due to specific rules, I could not submit this one to the „welcome to middle earth“-contest, but „for Frodo“...we all have to make big sacrifices, haha.

Multiple Variations; having different versions of the same item and altering things...yeah, I love that.
...and orcs... can’t have enough of these filthy maggots of Mordor, especially of those, wearing that rad looking combat-outfit, consisting of a dirty-red undergarment and the dark; jagged edged armor.

Enough justification to tear a, relatively expensive and flawless Guritz-figure apart and replace parts of it, which is nothing wrong with, but had to leave, for a more unique look.

This is, let’s call him, „Yargûsh, the cohort-leader“.
He once set off, from Mordor and landed, during misty night, at the shore of Osgiliath, under supreme command of Gothmog. He was part of a deadly army, but met his cruel fate by an even more lethal one...the army of the dead, on the fields of pelennor.

Recipe :

Removed Head; Hip-Armor and Loincloth, from an „Orc lieutenant“- (aka Guritz)-figure.
The new head is of a „Spike“/Buffy, the vampire slayer-figure, with dremeled off hair and
sculpted on orc-ears.
Completely dremeled off the chest armor
Added a piece of burgundy red fake-leather with reptile structure underneath the collar
Sculpted a new body armor
Cut and added a new loincloth, made of fake-leather with reptile structure.
Added a belt of a berserker-Uruk Hai
Added straps around the upper legs and the hip-armor of a Gothmog-figure (reduced their thickness on the flipside with the Dremel)
Sculpted and added another pair of flexible shoulder armor to cover the original gap at the shoulder joints
Hair of Eowyn (reduced thickness at the inside)
Sculpted over a helmet of pippin.
Added some thin rubber and plastic to it.
Added some fake fur
The sword and the horn (with metal chain) is sculpted from scratch.
Axe is from an „Isengard orc warrior“

Repainted the face; hair and all armor-parts.

Citadel colors :
Armor : Imperial Primer, Leadbelcher, Typhus Corrosion; Ryza Rust

Face :
Steel Legion Drab
Reikland fleshshade
Sylvaneth bark
Verminlord hide
Khorne red/Abaddon black

Hair: imperial primer
Baneblade brown

Blood for the blood god

Hope you like it, guys !

CHEERS !

Hi, Red Wolf ! I hope all‘s good !? Thank you very, very much ! Well, the contest...is like an exclusive club : the ugly guys have no chance, to get in, haha. The bouncer said:“YOU SHALL NOT PASS !”

Poor Yargûsh ! Now he‘s sitting on the sidewalk and is tooting a sad song, on his horn, which is dented, like his orc-ego.




All the best !

CHEERS !

Hi, jessecuster !

Oh, man THANK YOU ! Such a praise, from such a master, of this art-form ! I feel very flattered and cajoled !
I‘m still surprised, how differently things look in reality vs on a photograph. This dude seems to be cross-eyed almost on every picture, but he isn’t.?

Maybe we BOTH should get a new phone.?

Take care, man !

PS: I wish you‘d have time to create another commission, for me !

Man this is so insane! It's got all the elements that I look for in a custom!!!! Excellent and photo realistic paint app, well put over her parts, superb sculpting, and mixed media materials - which makes a well-executed art piece!

Heeeyyyy, Edgy 3, comrade from the customizer-nightshift ! How (tired) are you ?


Uugh, „the dark lord“... that title is way to much honor... „the lord with the dark circles around the eyes“ is more appropriate.

Thanks, man ! Always appreciate your
support !

Hi, Grinmankey ! How it’s going ? Man, „THANK YOU!“ for your constant support and your kind words !
To bad, the orange/brown rust-effect never comes out properly on the pictures. The armor always looks way more shiny, than it actually is. Well, Guritz isn‘t the greatest figure Toybiz released back then and I got that one „relatively„ cheap. Cool, that you like it ! I really appreciate your praise !

I‘m looking forward to see YOUR contest-entries !

All the best !

CHEERS !

I LOVE this orc! You've got some nerve using that figure as a base, but the outcome is excellent!! Your orc creativity is second to none. I don't understand why this couldn't be entered into the ME Contest, but I'm not hip on all the rules. Anyways, I love this figure. Great job on the armor and parts and... everything!
