NON COM BIONOID CAPTIVE RELEASED!

The first Non-Combatant Captive model is in The TOMORROW BLACK Shop this week.

This model represents a typical Bionoid Techer. She is wearing a Tech Body Seal, that has been damaged by her captors. The model is geared in a back braced harness, collar, and gag. 

This model is primarily intended for use in Rescue Missions, and as cute adult themed eye candy for populating terrain features. The Bionoid Techer is 18MM to the top of her head, which represents a 6' figure in my Miniature Range.

MARKER BASES RELEASED!

The Marker Bases are in The TOMORROW BLACK Shop this week.

These cute little 11MM bases are the same bases that I used for The MURG Flies, but I always intended to use them as Marker Bases too, and now they are here in all of their terrifying glory! They are designed to be used as small Game Token - Flag Stands, to easily mount any number of small icons and to track locations of in game items and effects. 

Each base is kind of it's own Icon already. The Skull and The Dead Kid can both be used for many obvious reasons such as: Wounds, Mine Fields, Traps, and so forth. I like to use The Pipe to mark Secrete Items in games.

MURG IMP SWARM Re-released!

The MURG Imps Swarm is in The TOMORROW BLACK Shop this week.

Now you can have another Swarm Unit to tie up your opponents in Martial Combat. I use to love to do that in my 40K daze...way back when.

GRIZZOUGHT SINGLE Re-released!

The Grizzought Single is in The TOMORROW BLACK Shop this week.

Say Rod, how was The Cold Wars Convention trip?

MURG FLIES SWARM Re-released!

The MURG Flies Swarm Packs are now in The TOMORROW BLACK Shop at HIGHLANDER STUDIOS.

I still rank these little critters high among the works I did back in 2011, they are just to disgustingly cute not to love.

BATTLE MINIATURES EMPORIUM IS NOW REOPEN!

Battle Miniatures Emporium is now reopen at Highlander Studios on January 13th 2013. Many of my friends and  business associates felt that it would be a good move to join forces with Highlander Studios for several reasons. Mr. Rodrick Campbell and I are friends with similar interest in 15MM Miniatures that support Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Tabletop Gaming. Our operations are basically one man shows. We each work with many of the same production companies. Our 15MM products are compatible. It all makes good sense really.

I am currently working on many new 15MM Models to support my TOMORROW BLACK Product Range, but for now, to get the shop open, I am offering some of my early works, which are internationally available for the first time.

Visit The Tomorrow Black Page at Highlander Studios.

CYBERPUNK New RPG Preview Conferance

If you love The Classic Cyberpunk RPG, this video will be entertaining I think. I am glad to see a new version of this cool RPG.

RKE Introduces: Materion 15/20MM Sci-Fi PaperTerrain Set!

Brothers of The One Five, check this out!

You can pretty much fill an entire 3x3' gaming table with this 13 building set. I am not a fan of Paper Terrain, but this new collection of diverse Tech Buildings, Tech City Details, and Illuminated Roadways looks great!

RKE Games is a brand new kid on our 15MM block, and from what I can see, their first release is going beyond the typical offerings, and is aspiring to a new level of coolness! The lighting effects alone make these buildings look alive.

This premier collection of Materion Tech Terrain, is very much a close representation of how I see much of my TECH Nation Terrain, which is of course why I posted this article. Go buy a set...lol...and get it ready for use with my forthcoming TECH Nation Faction!

The Dead Road Part 11

As regular followers of WAR ART know, I have been spending a lot of money this year, well over a thousand  dollars as of the publication of this article, to build up my TOMORROW BLACK Terrain. 

One of my Christmas presents to myself was a large order of raw plastic materials and a few more HO Kits. I am going to make a beautiful little strip-mall as one of the stops along The Dead Road, and this lovely Drive-thru Bank kit was one of the last models on my long list. Every time I had the money for it, the kit was out of stock...lol...merry Christmas Joe, it was in stock this month!

I am almost able to complete The Dead Mall now,  all I need is a Taco Bell, or some other fun little establishment, and a few more shop buildings. I will of course post a detailed article on the construction of this complete environment in 2012.

This is a big project, near and dear to my wretched black heart...it is going to be a very fun challenge...and I am almost ready to start!

Organizing The Factions

I love it. I do indeed. I am slowly getting the big picture done on my sculpting desk, and now that I am nearing the completion of Master Mold 2, I will have more metal to convert into new models. The effect of this on my BUILDING A COMPLETE WORLD Project, is that I really need to lock-down what I want to have in the main factions.

I am of course going to have The Base Elements: Heroes, Troops, Heavy Support, Special Units &Vehicles. These selections will be Racially Specific and Appropriate for each Factions Status.

The ultimate design for each Faction is the hard part of all of this, but it is also the most fun.

I can sculpt what ever I want to, but I need to do some more work on bringing all of these elements into a more refined state of being. 

The more work you do: The More WORK There Is To Be Done!

TOMORROW BLACK FORUM Is UP!

TOMORROW BLACK As A Film?

Almost...
I had to smile when I saw a trailer for PRIEST on my new Battle Los Angeles DVD.
I knew about the comic, but had no idea they had made a film version. I need to buy this one...

Talk about fun, and game inspiration...Nice!

Joseph

Motivated By Great People...THANK YOU!

You know, when I see my work posted by like minded people, with out my knowing it, much less asking them to promote my projects, it makes me feel...

COLONEL SHOFER'S: TINY LOVELIES
CARSTEN'S: BLACK TOMORROW: NEW WORK IN PROGRESS

Thank You Brothers!

TOMORROW BLACK COVER MOCKUP Previews

Hail Brothers of Sci-Horror!

I am starting to work on Cover Mock-ups now, 5 months away from release, so that I do not have to rush later...and try to put something together at the last minute. Please not that the Girl Concept is borrowed Lois Royo art, but I am thinking of doing a painting similar to it, so it works as a demonstration of concept. In my new painting there will be a huge ass monster behind the wall she is setting against. I am going to make the city look more Tech also I think...

I am probably going to do an all new painting for the cover, but the Dire will still be used, on the back cover I think. The NEW Logos are by my old friend David Rogers.

What do you think Brothers, are these decent, or do they suck?

THE MANAMAL POLL RESULTS

The Manamal Poll is concluded. I am pleased with the results. I did not expect it to get 183 votes.

APE	38 (20%)
BADGER	28 (15%)
BOAR-BULL	18 (9%)
CAT (Popular Breeds)	35 (19%)
DOG (Popular Breeds)	35 (19%)

Now that you all have helped me decide what to do first, based on the Popular Vote this is what I am going to do. 1 Character Model for each Race, with sales determining which types will be elevated to Gang or Complete Race Status.

The first six Races I am going to sculpt in Popular Order are: Crab, Shrimp, Elephant/Rhino, Ape, Cat, Dog. When theses are done, I will start on the next six, and so on, until every race has at least a single highly detailed Character to represent it in The TOMORROW BLACK World.

Thank you all for participating!!!

THE MANAMAL POLL

LET'S TRY THIS ONE AGAIN.

I posted a similar poll back in the Black Autumn Days and it went nowhere. I have changed everything in my little world since then...this time the deal IS real.

The purpose of this Poll is to determine what Manamal Types will be made first and also which will get the Gang or Race treatment. I am going to sculpt one of everything in this poll, as a cool Monster/Character. Any of these Mutant Animal Humanoids will make a damn fun NPC or Special PC in RPG and a MERC or Monster Encounter in Skirmish Games.

If the poll and subsequent sales elevate certain Manamals, then I will do a Gang or Complete Race of the popular species. To give you some idea of how these sculptures may look, I am sharing some of the art that I have in my Reference Folders. I am not making my models just like this, but you can get the Flavor from these images.



A Word On Design. I have other Manamal Species in mind, this is the first batch, to get the product range started in earnest.

Other Manamal Species currently on my work desk.

TOMORROW BLACK ART WIP Previews

I am starting to work on some  illustrations for The TOMORROW BLACK Core Guide Book.

So here is a look at some of my illustration work for a change.

Some of the Monsters have seen putty too, so for fun you can reference the art to the sculpture.

I am rusty yet. I have been sculpting more than drawing for the last year, but in the next six months I just might be able to make a decent looking world/rule book for all of my sculptures.
Maybe...lol.

CHARACTERS: GERROD THE PSYCHE Completed Sculpture Preview

From The Iron Mind to The Inner Body Electric, Gerrod has learned the true way of The Fire Of Unknown Origin. Among Psyche he is revered for his Heavy Clarity. For the power that comes to one who is devoted to these principles is mighty indeed, thus he and his disciples are greatly feared by The Manic Widows and The Unenlightened.

Gerrod travels the entire of New America bringing protection, knowledge and guidance to the wayward tribes, so that New Free Zones might flourish, and in time bring order to the land.

 The creation of this Character was inspired by The Music of BLUE OYSTER CULT.

A Word On Design. This figure is also intended for use as a Promoter in The QWIK Game.

GLERTCH BODY BLANK & WEAPONS Completed Sculptures Preview

"They will come for us in the night...there will be many!"

Glertches are a Dark Science Race which thrive in The Under (more on this later) and in remote areas, typically squatting on the very boarders of Human Settlements.

Glertches are an Evil race that hunt all Mammals, especially Humans, for their Slave Trade and for Food. The average Glertch is about 3'6" and weighs around 160lbs. Glertch are very Feral, and yet most are at least as intelligent as a capable Human. Glertch are strong despite their diminutive stature. Glertchech Warriors are very keen on Tech, and employ a variety of Custom Guns and other Tech Weapons during their frequent Raids into neighboring Humanoid Settlements.

A word on Design. I am keeping this Body Blank very clean, so that I will be able to add all manner of fun little details to each Master Casting, later. The right arm for this little meanie has been done separately so that I can add a number of fun Glertchech Weapons when I get going on the Conversion Phase of Production.

Glertch Raiders storm towards their destiny to the mighty noise of Dethklok's Go Forth And Die!!!

CHARACTERS: SHELLY- GEAR TECH Completed Sculpture Preview

Gear Techs are people who have a seemingly instinctive base knowledge of Mid-Tech Machines. If they apply themselves to it, with almost no training, they are able to build, maintain, and repair commonly used security and farming equipment, as well as vehicles. These individuals are extremely valued in communities who do not care to trade with The TECH Nation.

Shelly is a Native of Port York. When her father deemed her of age she traveled with him and her older brothers on his Tech Tramper visiting the Coasters Settlements to trade his advanced skills as a renowned Gear Tech. As she grew up she learned the skill. In times of rest at home her three brothers inspired her to play Qwik with their childhood friends on the island. In time her skill was above average and she took to traveling abroad, selling her services as she explored the Wet Waste.

Eventually she came to base herself in The Territory of Ashington. She now works with Byron and other Qwik Reffs organizing  tournaments in which she offers her custom Qwik Gear and occasionally she will even fill in for wounded Qwiks and Drives, for a Bonus Fee. 

Shelly still travels to Port York to visit her family, and she occasionally ventures into The Borderlands, acting as a requested Advisor to Communities setting up or reaping Mid-Tech Systems. 

A Word On Design. This was a fun project. I sort of let the models design themselves...I just worked the putty.
I was going for a Nomadic look with Shelly's clothing, and a Medium TECH level for her gear. The gear was a little challenge because I had to think; "Okay this world has very advanced technology, so what does medium technology look like then?"

I am not disappointed with this project, but I might add a cute little Tow-Bot to Shellie's gear, to pull the cart. Originally I figured she just pulls her cart around to keep herself in shape...lol ...I do like the idea of a little "Beep-Boop-Bleep" type of little sidekick fellow...dunno yet.
