Technically this is part 2 of this previous WIP post….
So I took that old WIP and decided to do something with it. While it looks a bit ugly, once the basic proportions on the limbs are OK, we can build on top of it with fresh detail.
I had a rough idea in mind for this guy rather than a specific design. As it shapes up it tends to inform the next things added and so on. I knew I wanted to have separate hands for later weapon and shield options.
The Jaguar Knights are a cult of proven warriors dedicated to the Jaguar god. Apprenticeship is open to any regular Bizaza warriors who have proven themselves by taking 4 high status warrior captives in battle to honour the gods in worthy sacrifice and of course, to stop the sky falling on everyone’s heads.
They dress in elaborate costumes crafted from the big cats bodies, believing that the wild spirit of the Jaguar God will posses them in battle and bring deadly ruin to their enemies.
In the army they fulfill the role of elite light infantry. They employ a light shield slung on the forearm for protection while they shower opponents with atlatl darts. When the situation calls for close work they switch to clubs and macuahuitl.
He will appear in a future KS this year with some buddies.

Looks incredible Sean! I’m not much of a fan of Slann to be honest with you, but the jaguar warrior looks ace! The original RT sculpt looks like a completed mini from a certain multi jointed sculptor I know 😛
Great work man 🙂
Thanks Mr. Papafakis. I will have ye converted to loving Aztec froggies within a few more sculpts ;). Painting that original model I made before more work on it would be like say….eating a bar of cacao. 😀
Lovely work 🙂
You should sculpt those space frogmen. They would make you rich.
Well, I am not sure about making my fortune on space frogmen…..but we will get to them eventually.
