7 Medieval Human Warriors: Polymer Clay Creations - https://polymerclayfantasyfigures.com/7-medieval-human-warriors-polymer-clay-creations/ - Up until now, I’ve showcased mostly monsters and mythical beings here. When sculpting human-based characters, the rules of anatomy are important compared to creating monsters. It’s time to show you some humans from the days of old. Here are seven medieval human warriors sculpted from polymer clay. #polymerclay #polymerclaysculpture #polymerclaycreations #polymerclayideas #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #clay #sculpture #art #warrior #medievalwarriors #celticwarrior #nilewarrior #turkishwarrior #fantasy #ilovefantasyart #polymerclayoninstagram #actionfigureprototype #warriors #conan https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yfu-eFIN8/?igshid=9qf9epmrz4xg

I learned about nagas from Dungeons & Dragons way back in the early 1980s. My way of creating a more unique looking one was to give her two heads. Such a figure wasn’t difficult to create although the detail may have brought out a little more in her. Never rush during polymer clay sculpture. Always take your time and take a break if you get tired. The figure will still be there waiting for you when you’re ready. #orcs #naga #naggana #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #art #clay #polymerclayart #fantasy #swordandsorcery #swordandsorceryart #mythology #mythicalcreatures #hydra #snakewomen #medusa #monster https://www.instagram.com/p/B4JGRn4l8zm/?igshid=14p5nklkr5l1l

The recreation of Gullik Horridus. Since Gullik was my first polymer clay figure, I tried to make him better and made a detailed tutorial from it. The tutorial is okay but I didn’t make a better Gullik than the original. Sometimes they’re one of a kind. https://polymerclayfantasyfigures.com/how-to-use-polymer-clay #polymerclay #polymerclayfantasyfigures #polymerclaysculpture #clay #sculpture #polymerclaytutorials #thequestforkimeldrago #orcs #gullikhorridus #troll #troglodyte #troglodytarum #goblins #hobgoblins #actionfigureprototype #hobbit #tolkien #mythicalcreatures #monsters #ilovefantasyart #swordandshield #swordandsorcery #wizardsandwarriors #wizardsandwitches #mythology #mythologycreature #creature #motu https://www.instagram.com/p/B4n7D_glEQz/?igshid=1bra9gl5aam2n

The features of the Krakenmarus are family obvious, at least in my opinion. It’s pretty clear the creature features lobster claws and a walrus-type face and head.  The very name combines  Kraken with marine which came out to the Krakenmarus. I definitely made this figure too big because he takes up a lot of storage space. Still, I’m happy with the overall result. #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #polymerclayfantasysculpture #polymerclayfantasyart #polymerclayarts #kraken #walrus #lobster #art #clay #claysculpture #monster #mythicalcreatures #cryptid www.polymerclayfantasyfigures.com #art #orcs #tolkien #dungeonsanddragons #d&d #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #swordandsorcery #swordandsorceryart #ilovefantasyart #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4D-FazlnbU/?igshid=m72zwdiazh2v

Notes: The inspiration for the Jaqwalogs comes directly from the American urban legend of the melonheads. There are a few different versions of the legend and how they actually came about depends on what state the story originated. I believe the states included were Michigan, Ohio, and Connecticut. I’m really surprised that no one featured this creepy legend in a horror movie yet. If I were a director/producer who had connections, I would begin work on a screenplay immediately. There’s something about driving along a road deep in the woods and spotting small humanoids with huge protruding heads. Other than the head, I believe the rest of the figure came out rather boring. Even though he has such a large head, he stands up perfectly on his own which is an achievement in itself when creating disproportionate figures. I should also mention that while I’m a big fan of Tolkien, hobbits and halflings were not an inspiration for the Jaqwalogs. The character is based solely on the urban legend of the melonheads. #melonheads #urbanlegend #folklore #orcs #hobbit #sprite #brownie #mythicalcreatures #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #cryptid #polymerclay #art #clay #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/B4BUTV-loUi/?igshid=wlo21svc5kza

I’m a reptile enthusiast who once kept and bred collared lizards. Collared lizards are probably my favorite lizards of all and I wanted to create a character that closely resembled them, right down to the name. Early American explorers nicknamed collared lizards as mountain boomers when they erroneously believed these lizards created extremely loud sonic booms. Basic early America folklore. The Crotaphytus race is also named after the scientific name of the collared lizard. #polymerclay #tyrannosaurusrex #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #fantasy #monster #ilovefantasyart #clay #art #polymerclaysculpture #landofthelost #dinosaur #troglodyte https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_CgCiAe2q/?igshid=1kjtcvy4a5ldt

Another one of my later creature creations that hinted the creative tank was running low. Actually, I think Smurglem the Asklevian came out okay. I wanted a caveman-like humanoid that had feet with short legs but walked on its hands attached to noticeably long arms. In order to do this, I became confused while laying out the wire skeleton, like the feeling when you miss a turn on a road while driving. It worked out okay but definitely a challenging skeleton structure since it’s anatomically different from any such structure I created before. Bio Smurglem is of the Asklevian tribe. The Asklevian are an ancient race who originate from caverns under the mountains of Asklev Island. Nocturnal, they roam the Asklev forest at night seeking food and haunting their land. They have long powerful arms that they use to assist them to walk due to their short, stubby legs. Smurglem was taken by the Troglodytarum during a night raid of Asklev Island. Gulik Horridus then gave him to the Black Wizard Witalis Atrox as a gift to serve him. It came at a price as several trogs were killed in the raid. Now that the Black Wizard Witalis Atrox controls Smurglem, it is possible for him to raise the entire Asklevian horde against Magnus Adamanteus and his allies. The evil wizard will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #dungeonsanddragons #mythicalcreatures #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #orcs #goblins #ogres #mythology #monster #clay #art #polymerclay #polymerclaysculpture #swordandsorcery #ilovefantasyart #bugbear #myth #sprite #evilspirits #troglodyte #azog https://www.instagram.com/p/B38V4HpAgoa/?igshid=1pqd55yoqz5q7

In time for Halloween comes the ScareRook. The ScareRook is my vision of an evil scarecrow. Scarecrows have always been eerie, even more so than clowns in my opinion. This figure was one of the last ones I created and the tank was running very low at this point. I had created over thirty fantasy warriors over a six to eight-month period. Here’s some sound advice for polymer clay sculpting. Don’t allow yourself to get burnt out and never rush to get a figure completed. Haste makes waste. #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #scarecrow #polymerclay #polymerclaysculpture #art #clay #fantasy #actionfigureprototype #custommadeactionfigure #actionfigureprototypes #ilovefantasyart #ilovefantasy #motu #dungeonsanddragons #scary #eerie https://www.instagram.com/p/B3xm7jzg4yK/?igshid=lvrdn7a4xk3s

One of the human characters I sculpted featured on this page. I actually sculpted several human “good guy” characters but I’m only happy with two of them, and ones a “bad guy”. Cain Reapis is the only human villain in the story. While Cain Reapis came out okay, he would have looked better with a more muscular frame. I hate to say it, but he reminds me of Han Solo’s son in the new Star Wars movies. Just for the record, Cain Reapis was sculpted back in early 2015, before the new Star Wars movie was released so Han Solo’s son was definitely not an inspiration. To be perfectly honest, I had Dirk Blackpool from Wizards & Warriors in mind while sculpting Cain Reapis. I don’t think you can tell looking at the figure. I have no plans of redoing Cain Reapis soon because the inspiration just isn’t there at present. Bio The only son of King Korbus, Caine Reapis is the ruler over the dark kingdom of Valhomach. He was raised by the Black Wizard Witals Atrox and Naggana. A skilled fighter, he is as arrogant as he is merciless. His only desire is for the complete conquest of Kimel Drago. He believes the Black Wizard Witalis Atrox will help him achieve this goal since he is the only father he has ever known but the evil wizard could have another agenda in mind. He along with Atrox commands the army of the Troglodytarum. #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #polymerclay #polymerclayfantasy #custommadeactionfigure #actionfigureprototype #swordandsorcery #wizardsandwarriors #warrior #evilwarrior #dungeonsanddragons #art #clay #sculpture #motu https://www.instagram.com/p/B3vcmK0gcU8/?igshid=1uq0683g0zuvk

While I needed a wizard for the “good guy” team, I wanted to avoid any kind of traditional mythology. Furthermore, I wanted to avoid making him appear anything like Gandalf.  While this wizard doesn’t look anything like Gandalf or traditional wizards in general, I’m not completely happy with the result. I went with a more alien feel to his head and facial features.  Bio: Nearly a century ago, Nithramous the Wizard, an alien being from another time and dimension was accidentally transported to Kimel Drago. Unable to ever return home the same way he entered, he loyally served King Leinad until his death after the fall of Maggita. He now serves Magnus Adamanteus. He possesses the Amulet of Janikorm once held by the Black Wizard Witalis Atrox. He is responsible for turning the Black Wizard Witalis Atrox from human-like form to a hideous and obese viper ensuring no one else would be fooled by his trickery again (which led to the fall of two once great kingdoms). The Black Wizard Witalis Atrox is his greatest adversary as Atrox has sworn vengeance against him and to regain the Amulet of Janikorm. Nithramous lives in the town of Highland Downes. #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclay #wizard #goodwizard #motu #ilovefantasy #polymerclaysculpture #polymerclayart #art #wizardsandwarriors #swordandsorcery #fantasyart #custommadeactionfigure #actionfigureprototype https://www.instagram.com/p/B3seoRTA9nl/?igshid=110zhjkrq3uzw

Ther inspiration behind Ganzorig the mystic was a Mongolian mystic rather than an actual wizard. I think he came out okay although I wish I had made him older looking. After all, a mystic is wise and it’s more believable when such a character is older in appearance. Not my favorite figure but certainly not my worst as far as human characters go. #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #mystic #wizard #magician #wizardsandwarriors #clay #polymerclaysculpture #polymerclay #mongolianmystic #mystic #ilovefantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/B3qP8wZAuvg/?igshid=16pt9d2n054th

Delilah the Witch. I need a witch for a spin-off story for The Quest of Kimel Dargo. Here’s what I came up with. Yes, she’s a rather generic hag. Good for Halloween! Bio: Delilah the Witch is an old hag who lives alone in a disheveled cottage somewhere in the forests of Lokia. There she is said to collect spiders and concoct unhealthy recipes both day and night due to the fact that she rarely sleeps. She is said to have an invalid brother who sometimes visits and can be encountered in the surrounding woods picking toxic mushrooms and hunting for rats and other vermin to eat. One should keep their distance from such folk due to their evil nature and the possibility of ending up in their stew pot. According to legend, there is a story of the hag Delilah being responsible for the existence of the Jaqwalogs by placing a curse on a small town of humans who banished her. It should be noted that Delilah the Witch serves no one but herself and her miserable, half-witted brother. #witch #polymerclaywitch #mythicalcreatures #art #polymerclayfantasyfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #fantasyart #fantasy #ilovefantasyart #halloween #hag #evilwitch #polymerclaysculpture #polymerclay #claysculpture #fiend #wizards https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ndp9cAo26/?igshid=rpoab1xzzc7u

How do you come up with an original idea for a dragon in this day and age? It’s really hard and I’m not saying I accomplished it but this is Goronlocke the three-headed dragon. His back is full of spikes as is his wrecking ball tail. You can’t have a sword and sorcery fantasy story without a dragon, can you? #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasyfigures #tolkien #motu #ilovefantasyart #art #clay #polymerclaysculpture #dragon #reddragon #claydragon #dungeonsanddragons #wizardsandwarriors #swordandsorcery #polymerclaydragon #smaug https://www.instagram.com/p/B3k8pcNgNlk/?igshid=13o8ssyjtz482

Probably the closest 80s-style action figure prototype I’ve made. Hooded Mantik is the personal executioner of The Black Wizard Witalis Atrox. #polymerclayfantasy #custommadeactionfigure #actionfigureprototype #actionfigureprototypes #actionfigures #thequestforkimeldrago #polymerclayfantasy #polymerclayfantasyfigures #art #clay #clayart #polymerclay https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fgaUKA-7S/?igshid=zbrc0uymd3oi

Ivar Brun, the Viking. One of my best human warriors. The inspiration is obvious with this one.
