My Chachapoyan Desk Demon

Reaperron · 12-28-2011, 12:15 PM

Got this little guy commissioned this summer from an artist friend of mine. I thought he was too cool to keep all to myself, so I had a few cast up in resin for Christmas gifts.

He's right at 6.5" tall (overall height), and his square base is 3" x 3". Weighs about 1.5 pounds of solid resin.

Pretty cool, huh?

Thanks, and I hope you like him!

I am a fan of Reaper Miniatures.

With a microscope you may just be able to see my Kabaka K'wana, Giant Ape Lord, on the grass in this picture:

Who was the sculptor?

You'd have trouble seeing that with Hubble!

You're not wrong there!

This is what he looks like on the Reaper site:

He's one big, heavy chunk o' metal!

Sculptor of Kbaka Kwana was Jason Wiebe. That's an awesome ape!

Did a little editing there...good as new.

Nice looking item, Reaperron. Your link isn't working now, however; perhaps you'd like to post it again, show it off?

Reaperron · 12-28-2011, 04:07 PM

Ah, thank you. Again, my apologies.

Link is working now.

Just to be clear: the statue is a private commission, and has nothing at all to do with Reaper Miniatures.

Lovely work. I'm sure that it would make a great Christmas gift for the IJ fanatic in the family!

Prehaps you could canvas the board about idea's, for yourself, about future sculptures.

...no more jumping around.

Very cool...

...no fangs?

I meant who sculpted the Demon. I assumed it was a commission through Reaper, as that's where picture was hosted.

They're there, just very subtle. I'm planning on handpainting one of my copies with a lot of browns and tan colors. Before I do though, I'll probably build up those fangs with some putty to make them a bit more pronounced.

It was sculpted by Patrick Keith. And no, it was a private commission that I had done for my Indiana Jones display for ReaperCon last year. I had friend cast up a few extras for Christmas gifts.

I'm currently muddling over the idea of some keychains: a fedora, a coiled whip, and a mini Chachapoyan demon. These would be cast in pewter and polished.
