Ahsoka starmap puzzleball

This is a 3dprinted version of the starmap from Ahsoka season one.

I am pretty sure the prop in the show was a modified Megaminx puzzle, but I couldn’t find one, because it was last manufactured in 2008… so I modeled it from scratch in Rhino.

It has 12 axis of rotation and 62 moving pieces!

Apparently there are still scammers out there trying to sell knock-offs of my Guardin’Gnomes…

I had someone email me today, looking to buy a set of my Guardin’Gnomes.

She was surprised at the price, as she had apparently seen something online significantly less. I warned her about some Chinese counterfeits that were being advertised using my photos.

The counterfeits are just crude knock-offs of my designs. I hope that you haven’t gotten scammed too.

Two Gnomes in a Trenchcoat!

This was a fun little mini. It was a custom request so a unique character mini for someone’s wife.

“Dungeon Vibes” mini painting technique

This is a variation of zenithal priming. Instead of gray or white over black, I use blue-gray and different oranges and yellows to simulate torchlight.

This underpainting affects the colors that will be added on top.

Starting with a black primer, I add a blue-gray ambient light (in the example I’m using an oversized print for clarity).

Next I drybrush orange light from the direction of the torch, keeping aware of where it will hit the model.

Adding yellow to the orange, I do another drybrush pass, closest to the torch.

The flames get the brightest yellow and even pure white in the crevices.

Finally, I paint the colors on top.

I think that the torchlight underpainting helps unify the colors, and gives the mini a dungeon vibe!
