I'm just wondering if this has been done already or if I'm onto something new here. Haven't seen anyone doing this, but then again I haven't been looking either. So far, I've just cut them up, trimmed off anything not belonging on the models and glued them together temporarily. Next I'll start with the pinning together and then it's greenstuff time.
I cut the elf cheerleader along the waist, saving the jacket, then twisted her to face "forward" in a lunging position. Cut off her pompoms and will model hands with claws. I will also try to separate her head from her body and reposition it slightly, tiliting it upwards so she's in line with her body.
The dark elf cheerleader is a little harder to make dynamic. I've cut off the pompoms and also her whole left arm. I've cut off her head and repositioned it. In the end, it'll be looking more to her left. I'll try to make her lean a little to the left (at the moment she's leaning backwards due to a crappy slotta base
) and sculpt a new left arm with claws, which she'll hold close to her body. A bit like the orc blitzers you know? The other arm will get a hand and claw, and will point downwards along her leg, in a slightly idle position. The whole idea with her is to have her in a "ready"-pose, like she's just about to pounce on some unfortunate halfling. I'll bring her left foot forward slightly and bend it at the knee (might need a cut and some green stuff to turn out good).What do you think about the ideas? I'm dreading the sculpting ofcourse, it'll be the first major sculpting I attempt and will probably turn out shit, but I think I can pull it off with some luck. The hardest part was to cut them up and keep them intact. I was surprised at how easy and clean they came apart, really. I'm alot happier with the results so far than I thought I would be. Especially the lunging forward one has some great potential.
