Forsaken Cainhurst Castle
“Forsaken Cainhurst Castle is the giant castle belonging to the Cainhurst Vilebloods, now abandoned to time, and covered in snow and ice, following the raid of the Executioners who slaughtered their inhabitants mercilessly, leaving only the servants alive.”
Martyr Logarius
“Standing vigil against those who would seek the Undying Queen of Cainhurst for her audience, stands Logarius.
After long years of guarding the access to the chambers of the queen, Logarius has become a feeble aspect of himself, almost as a walking mummy, and yet still displaying beautiful robes that befit his status. He wields a short bladed scythe, and a large serpentine dagger, complementing both with his harnessing of the Arcane.”
Logarius is one of the main bosses of Cainhurst Castle. The only problem with the model was his sword was bent out of shape. So I created a mold of it and used that to cast a straight version. Aside from that I made no changes to the model.
Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods
“Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods; also known as the undead queen, is the leader and only remaining member of the Cainhurst Vilebloods, the others have left or been killed by the Executioners.”
Queen Annalise was an interesting model to work with because the main thing I was aiming to do was fix the warped chair, it just didn’t sit straight. So I cut it apart and by adjusting the legs was able to fix it up. However it put Annalise in an odd position, with her dress not actually touching the floor. So I sculpted a new bottom of her dress which I was really happy with how well it turned out. I also wanted the throne to sit on a dais, so I added steps and a carpet to get it to work.
Cainhurst Royal Guards
“The Cainhurst Royal Guards are an elite group of knights that were sworn to protect the nobles of Cainhurst Castle. After the castle's fall, the guards were cursed to protect it for all eternity, becoming twisted and dangerous enemies. Their skill in combat and unwavering loyalty to their masters make them a formidable challenge for hunters attempting to uncover the castle's secrets.”
The original pose for this model had his sword arced over his head and it looked a bit flat to me. So I reposed it out to the side.
I also used one of the models for the conversion of the Reiterpallasch Hunter. So bringing the sword across to the spare hunter model, I was able to recreate a second guard model.
Bloodlicker
“Bloodlickers are large, flea-like creatures that reside in places where large amounts of blood have been spilled. Despite having an extremely slender body, they have large, swollen and transparent stomach pouches, seemingly filled with blood as it has a deep red color. The size of this pouch can vary from being extremely large and rendering them unable to move, or be relatively small. They also have an extremely large tongue that they use to attack the player, and what appears to be hair hanging from their heads.”
The Bloodlickers are rather grotesque creatures, with their long spindly legs and bloated bodies. I just wanted to give when all a unique pose, which actually ended up being a fair bit of work. For one I cut all the knees/elbows and ankles/wrists to get its body to sit in a different spot. For another I cut up the whole base it was attached to, moving the feet to different places, while adjusting the limbs to match. Most of them I also cut the neck to readjust the head.
Lost Child of Antiquity
“Outside the halls of Cainhurst Castle, atop the snowy balconies and icy rooftops, the Lost Children of Antiquity lie, immobile, hiding amidst statues or hanging on spires, waiting for their unsuspecting prey, ambushing them as soon they pass by. Their ghastly, greyish, and lifeless appearance resembles that of stone gargoyles, with faces not unlike those of Cain's Servants, who tend to, and protect the castle.”
This was a case where the reposing was very effective, I’m really happy with the variety of poses I was able to create for these ones. Mainly it was repositioning the wings and hips. Except for the one crouched down, I had to do a fair bit to the wings to get them to rest flat on the ground.
Cain's Servant
“Cain's Servants are small hunchback old men who tend to the castle of Cainhurst. While they appear seemingly harmless, scrubbing the floors and walls in an uneasy, almost terrified manner, they are in fact a sneakier kind of enemy that can cause severe harm to players.”
I kept the conversion of these guys fairly simple, just shifting their arms a bit and filling in the gaps.
Bound Widow
“Bound Widows are the deceased noblewomen of Cainhurst who now haunt the deserted halls of the Castle. Some are, at times, initially invisible and non-hostile but will become aggressive when disturbed and will slowly pursue the player. Although they move slowly, they can easily sneak up on unwary victims as they are completely silent until they attack.”
I just kept these models just standard because there wasn’t a lot I could do with it.
