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 ! ![]() |
Thank you very, very much ! I really appreciate it ! Regarding your profile-pic...you are in a Metal-band ? That’s awesome ! I was too, half of my life... HORNS UP !
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 !
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 !
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 !
„The age of well-rested men is over ! The time of the orcs has come !“
Take care !
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 !
