Hello!!
I know that his is not really an army diary as such, but I wanted to create a thread that would let me do a running commentary on my sculpts of SG-1, and thought this was the best place for it.
So, what's it all about? Over 6 months ago, I fancied trying my hand at some sculpting, and decided that a Jaffa Warrior from Stargate SG-1 would be a really cool thing to sculpt. Needless to say, it didn't go anywhere. About a week ago, however, I decided it was time to dust off the old sculpting tools and give it another go. I ordered 10 new Ebob armatures, found myself a notepad and started work on what soon turned into a very promising project. Below I have posted a couple of images of SG-1, my final concept sketches - no-one laugh at the rubbish drawings - and the posed armatures to go with them.
Enjoy
SG-1
Colonel Jack O'Neil
The leader of SG-1, Colonel Jonathon 'Jack' O'Neil is a high ranking US Air Force officer. He retired after his son died tragically, accidentally shooting himself with Jack's sidearm. However, upon the creation of the Stargate program, he rejoined the Air Force and was a major part of te first mission.
Dr Daniel Jackson
An egyptologist, Dr Daniel Jackson is not military personnel, but a civillian. Recruited for his keen knowledge of languages, Dr Jackson was the person who figured out the mystery of the Stargate, and accompanied the first team to go through. After the defeat of the Go'auld Ra, Dr Jackson decided to stay on Abidos, the planet they travelled to, with his wife. After she was taken as a Go'auld host, he returned to Earth to help fight the Go'auld, hoping to save his wife.
Daniel has died twice now during the seasons, both times ascending to a higher plane of existance. Due to his continual desire to help his Earth friends, he was returned to the mortal plane both times.
Major Samantha Carter
Major Samantha Carter, of the US Air Force, is an able soldier and a brilliant scientist, always on the frontline with SG-1. She is the expert on all things Stargate, and is behind most of the technological advances founded on the Stargate Program.
Teal'c
Once the first prme of the Go'auld System Lord Apophis, Teal'c turned against the Go'auld to fight against the false gods of the Go'auld, to ensure the freedom of his brothers. Now named Sho'vah (traitor) by the Go'auld, he has continued to be a valuable asset to the SGC, keeping them well informed with information about the Go'auld. Determined to free the Jaffa from their slavery, Teal'c is a formidable and proud warrior.
Jonas Quinn
Jonas Quinn is a relative mystery to me, a humanoid alien who joined SG-1 after they saved his home planet. Only present for 1 year in the Stargate Program, he quickly returned to his home planet to continue its struggle for freedom. He appeared during the time at which Daniel Jackson was ascended.
So there you have it, the humble beginnings of my sculpts. I apologise for the large pictures.
Watch this space for more!
Thanks
