Another WoW WIP - Sculpting Tip for Posing

When beginning a sculpt, I like to put my characters in a T-Pose. This lets me double check all the proportions. 

Then I will make the arm two separate objects. The shoulder to elbow would be one, and the elbow to the wrist would be the other. I will then move this around to achieve the pose I want while keeping my proportions in ...

WoW WIP - Sculpting Tips for Detailed Sculpts

World of Warcraft characters are very detailed, so it is important cut yourself some slack! If you fixate on every detail, you might suck the fun right out of sculpting.

There are so many aspects of this that I wanted to "perfect" but really, just make the whole piece look cohesive. Small errors will get lost if the whole piece looks s...

The texture on the tentacles has a little process to it. 

1) Mask out areas you want texture on.

2) Invert the mask.

Finished Commission - Bird - View 2

The details like bags, belts, and stitching goes a long way. 

Finished Commission - Bird - Sculpting Tip

This was such a fun design!

Sculpting Tip 

Don't fight your brushes. Let them do the work for you. What I mean is make sure you consider the way you want to influence the mesh. You could just use clay build-up and move for the entire sculpt. But if you want to work efficiently, use a variety of br...

Brisela Sculpt WIP - Sculpting Tip

This is a gruesome/enchanting sculpt I'm working on! It will be a huge 6 inch tall 3D print.

SCULPTING TIP

• Block out general shapes first
• Don't get caught up in the details too early! Because if the general form isn't solid, no amount of excellent detail work will fix it. 
• Th...

Mage WIP - Sculpting Tip

Getting the general shapes done for this commission! I make the clothes and hair by masking out an area, and then extracting it. 

I like using that method because it lets me treat different elements of the sculpt as separate objects. Meaning I can handle my subdivision levels differently for each piece. 

Loxodon WIP - Sculpting Tip

The armor was made by masking an area, and then extracting it. After that I played around with Dynamesh and Claypolish.

I usually extract to 0.02, and then claypolish. Sometimes it looks a bit pixelated, and that is when I'll use Dynamesh around 200 resolution.

Thank you! <3

It has been a little over a month since I first started Patreon. The support I have received has way exceeded my expectations! 

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to sharing awesome things with you all.

Siren Commission

Wanted to share this again as it was one of my all time favorite sculpts! Working on getting a large scale print done. I will need to pull out the details in the mask more for that.

It makes me want to sculpt more humanoid creatures!

Next Project

What would you like to see me sculpt next?

More Druids!

I have some better angles of the Druid to share. Enjoy!
