HOLY SHIT that rocks all over the place!
Great, great, GREAT Job.

The attention to detail and painstaking degree of precision in these projects of your are clearly visible.  It looks like you put a lot of work and effort.

Very nice.

I want more, btw.

Wow, those are really good! Very detailed work. If I still played with action figures, I would buy those! Actually, no, I'd probably STILL buy those! You should send those to Konami and see what they think.

Yeah I wanna make my own CV Diorama now with ChibiSimon & stuff. xD

[Gimph]

Hehe, you should make Jonathan and Charlotte with detachable heads!
That would make my day!

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

I've made 22 Castlevania sculptures so far, if you'd like to see the rest, you can visit my Konami fan art page:

As to tutorials, I don't really have any.  Just mid-construction photos.  Anybody can sculpt, it just takes time to learn and lots of practice.  The art section of your local library is a good place to look to get yourself started.

So, it looks like these are made of plastic, but you mostly have newspaper and such in the list of what you used. Why is that?

I don't believe this. That's incredible! My favorite was your Circle of the Moon Legion. It's so perfectly detailed, it's amazing!
