Description
(this is in the metals category as he is actually cast bronze on a brass base. I do not believe I have the rights to sell this, so please don't ask.)This is a small sketch model of Saxon, one of the main characters from Mouse Guard. Haven't heard of it? You should check out the website and start reading the comics. I got obsessed with them this semester after finally getting my hands on a copy of both the first comics and the table top RPG. Which, I must say, as a seasoned D&D player, is definitely worth your money.
He is made of silicon bronze, nickel silver, brass, cloth, paint, and natural plant material. I wanted to experiment making a sculpture that blends some of my model making skills I learned in architecture with working in wax/casting. I truly believe this to be a first sketch but I had a blast working on it and want to explore more sculptures like this.
Feel free to critique me but realize that I do not see this as the highlight of wax working or painting a sculpture. This is literally my first time! I would love links to tutorials and such, though
Or anything awesome I should know about.Saxon is a copyrighted character owned by David Petersen
This model is made by myself.

MOUSE GUARD! I bought Ash a Mouse Guard plushie last year at a comic con and we're both hooked on the comics. So so good.
This is awesome and you captured his personality so well. Love it.
I love that we randomly like or do the same things even though they're things we've never talked about. Yay D&D and MG!

He is wonderful! Really neat. I don't know anything about wax working, but the paint job is good.
I normally work with my paint watered down a bit, slowly adding thin layers to get the right tones. This keeps the paint from running or sticking or looking too thick.
also... there's a table top rpg?! D: What have I been doing with my liiiiife?

I actually am an amateur at the moment still, but, wax working and casting might be my favorite processes.
I definitely rushed my paint job a bit but I had a deadline for class. I actually am going to attempt a patina painting job for my next sculpture so that it is less superficial.
YOU NEED TO LOOK IT UP. My gaming group is having a blast planning and in a week we are starting our first campaign! I'm finding it to be very free for world building and we've spent a lot of time writing up additional information in our free time. It's awesome. If we get enough material for a wiki we expect to make one 
Thank you for the comment!

Fantastic.
I looked it up and there is the hardcover game book and also a boxed set with some cards and things.. can you play with just the book?

Of course! Me and my group got the box set at PAX because I actually wanted all the printed out character sheets, extended rules, and the cards are actually convenient for gear. We're in the process of making item cards that we'll use in conjunction with the weapon cards because.. well, we don't usually go too crazy with miniatures and such but have been enjoying making foraging cards and well illustrating our characters
