Beginning of a WoW Sculpt - WIP - Sculpting Tip

The individual commissioning this was kind enough to provide me with a base mesh!

So far, the main changes were using clay build-up to broadly define the general form.

I reposed the mesh by masking and splitting the objects. It is a bit tedious, but very effective!

Victorian Gentleman - WIP - Sculpting Tip

Victorian clothing is known for its luxurious detail work. This was one of those times that I REALLY wanted to dive into the details, but made sure to get the base done first despite that.


So, from my eyes I see about 1,001 problems with the sculpt haha But I know that when it is all to...

Tree Man - WIP - Continued

My process for this is very similar to what I did for the face. This is described in the post right before this one if you want to check it out.

In BRIEF summary:

1. Append primitive shape like a sphere, cube, etc.

2. Use move and clay buildup to define the general shape.

3. Appl...

Tree Man - WIP - Detailed Sculpting Process

To sculpt this I started with a sphere. Once i had the general elliptical shape, I used alt+inflate to define the eyes. I also used normal inflate to bring dimension to the face such as the cheekbones and chin.

Next I began the pull out the tree branch like bits on the top of his head. I mas...

Curing a Minotaur Print - 3D Printing Tip

Fun little picture of my minotaur print curing under a UV light. I typically leave my minis under the light for 15-20 minutes.

Make sure you rotate them so everything cures!

I also like to lightly coat the final product in clear gloss so it has some protection from the sun to prevent it fr...

Brisela WIP - Sculpting Tip

Make sure you aren't doing twice the work! This sculpt is fairly symmetrical. Since each element is its own object I can duplicate and mirror. The wings for example, were only sculpted once. 

When working with thin elements like wings it is a good idea to mask the area you are manipulating. O...

Early Commission Work - Sculpting Tip

Those hands! Or lack there of? haha

Overall, I do like this sculpt still. Something that would have helped is by making the belts their own separate object instead of sculpting on top of the base mesh.

Make sure to take advantage of masking and extracting!
