Bashing a Billikin Predator kit and Legend Darkness Demon (Trcic sculpt I think) .

I had started this bash many years ago.

Modifications so far:9k
Added darkness horns to predator head
Using predator forearms on darkness torso
Using predator shin armor on lower darkness leg segment
Beefing up darkness chest to be more in scale with predator head
Modifying darkness cape

Planned changes
Use predator feet
Use darkness hands and staff
Modify pose to be less “flamboyant” than original darkness pose

Plan to modify left arm to be holding a chain attached to some kind of Hell-Hound
Hell-Hound options : Hell-raiser hound kit , modified terror dog, opdyke werewolf bashes that I have

ORIGINAL DARKNESS KIT


INITIAL MODS

[barad_dur]

Adding feet

Got rid of the shoulder gun as that technology doesn’t jive with the demon theme .

I will have to sculpt and place in long new dreadlocks, which will be challenging

Not sure I like the horns position and angle on the head; so will probably reposition them

I also definitely gotta change that “swishy” right hip and stance …

[bucketfoot-al]

Well. This came out of ... SOMEWHERE ...

Now THIS is an imaginative 'bash worthy of your past reputation - I vote for the "Terror Dog" on a leash, but ... I don't know what the Hellraiser one looks like ...

I have no comment at this point other than to agree that the "Tim Curry" attitude hip-stance needs to be changed, because .... well ... you know ...

Keeping an eye on this one!!!

Go Joe, Go!!!

No B-A, I don't...please explain.

I'm checked in for one. Wanna see where it goes...

Remove the staff. Tilt the head towards the upper left and have it looking up towards the raised palm. Attach the right arm at a downward 90 degree angle. Leave 'hip action' the way it is, and ...

*VOILA*

The Travolta Hell Fever Daemon Predator Bash



PS you're welcome

[barad_dur]

Hah, yeah, I had another friend already say it has a travolta vibe…ugh

Currently Changing the angle of the horns

I think I should remove feet and replace with hooves to be more demon like

I may also remove the cape (lot of work) and add some wings ….

[bucketfoot-al]

The horn angle is a BIG improvement (now it no longer looks like he's wearing a horned helmet )

Hooves probably make sense as you want to get away from the "Predator" look (the head does that by itself). No opinion on Cape vs Wings. Both would look good visually, but wings make more "Daemon-sense" ...

[barad_dur]

Started removing the cape to make way for wings
Lots of cutting and refining left to do

[bucketfoot-al]

WHOA!!!!

Those wings .... are BIG ... and ... BEAUTIFUL!!!

(I assume you will be trimming the tips of the wings into a more natural ending shape? )

[barad_dur]

Thanks . Yup

[overspray]

Wings! Yes!

[barad_dur]

Thanks overspray !

[barad_dur]

Did a ton of cutting and reshaping to modify stance and prep for adding wings

Cut off feet as I will sculpt hooves to make it more demon-like

Not sure if I will make left leg same position as right leg , or slightly raised up and stepping on some type of skull (alien, human ?)

Plan is to have both arms in a downward position (gotta get rid of the travolta vibe) and holding chain-leashes attached to a couple of lunging terror-dogs/creatures

[overspray]

Sheesh, first Babe Ruth viewtopic.php?p=1469750&hilit=babe+ruth#p1469750 and now Travolta. What's the Clubhouse coming to? But I heartily agree that you need to change the stance!

Working on covering the wings seam with another row of feathers

Working on covering the wings seam with another row of feathers

Are you going to cut off the bottom part under the newly sculpted feathers?
