More hellish process.

Tools: blade and silicone spatula, super glue, wire, sandpaper, perforator.

Materials: Green Stuff, Epo Putty, water.

Getting into sculpting in greenstuff (for the 3rd or 4th time), here is a goblin bust and another head that didnt quite make it to the finish line, i think the time it took me to make the first attempt meant the green stuff was a better texture on the second atempt.

Critique and advice welcome!

Particularly on ears do people sculpt them seperately and add them once they are firm?

This is a first attempt at sculpting a derpy character for a game I’m working on for fun. Had to do a lot of sanding just to even get it to where it is now.

I used Fimo Modeling clay and I don’t have a set of sculpting tools; I just made some very makeshift ones. I’m just wondering if this is even the right medium to be using for something at this scale; but open to any advice or resources. Thank you in advance!

I'm a polymer clay sculptor and decided to make the Ello worm for the 40th anniversary. Ive used dyed feathers and tine for his fluff and some brushed cotton for the scarf. I orginally sculpted this from polymer clay and then made a silicone mold so i can cast resin versions for a few friends. All hand-painted and 1:1 scale.

Hope you enjoy!

They both became a little bigger than I originally planned but I love them both

This is my sorcerer and their entourage of teat-nibbling familiars. It was originally inspired by ancient statues of Pazuzu, but gradually evolved into something a bit different. After many happy accidents, it’s finally complete! The piece is mostly made from polymer clay, with some green stuff used for finer details. The familiar standing on the ground was created by my partner.

Today I want to show you guys the rest of my Snotling warband, after giving the Wheelo its own spotlight earlier! 🐸⚙️

I put together another photo series and tried to include more work-in-progress shots this time, so there are a few collages in there. 👀

All minis are fully handmade, and I made sure to give them lots of different weapons so I can actually tell them apart later 😂

Alongside the Wheelo crew (4 Snotlings + a Squig), the warband includes 16 × 🐸 runts, 5 shoota teams 🐸🐸 (2 each), 3 mobs 🐸🐸🐸🐸 (4 each), 2 scouts, 2 big snotz, a shaman, a goblin leader carried on a throne by 4 Snotlings, and even a power squig familiar! ⚡️🤓😝

Trying to fit all of that into 20 pictures was… not easy 🙃 I’ve taken more photos of two Snotlings alone on my Instagram. Turns out I’m really bad at choosing. 🫠

I did highlight a few favorites though, like the scouts (one hiding in a barrel, the other barely hanging onto his squig 🥲), or the old “wise” Snot who used to be a shaman… but kind of forgot. 🤔 Somehow he’s still the oldest in the warband.

The mobs are just pure chaos.. one even has a lookout Snotling on a banner, and yes… one Snotling is using another Snotling as a weapon 😅 The shoota teams are either struggling to carry their gear or getting creative with things like the blunderwheel (basically a blunderbuss on a wheel). There’s also a crab “tank” and a squig platform… both equally questionable in terms of safety 😏

My leader rides on a throne and even has a tiny advisor Snotling on his shoulder. He’s holding a “golden squig” as a symbol of power… painted? maybe. Convincing? apparently 🙂‍↕️ Since he’s sitting so high up, he even had a chain added to extend his weapon range 😋

This is probably my biggest warband project so far, and I definitely underestimated how long it would take 😅 especially painting. At some point I had to compromise… so yeah, they all got simple red eyes 🫣🫠

But overall I’m really happy with them and they play just as chaotic as they look! 🐸

What do you think? 🫡

Small progress in a big project.

A lil guide on how I made some steampunk style tanks for 2mm

Im so proud to show you my first miniature sculpted, molded and casted by me. I already had done putty miniature, but never to made copys of it.

Its name is Boglon, and Its kind of a joke of BloodBowl, but in this case would be Blood Bowling 😅.

I also upload a picture of the first copy im painting right know and im really enjoying It a lot. It feels so mine, idk...

I Hope you like It!

I don't know where this one is heading, but I'm enjoying the process so far. This is clay for the foundations and miliput on the top of that.

New sculpt! Need to finish up some of the Spru design so it casts nice and clearly but really happy with it! I was inspired by an old Heroquest chaos warrior I had on hand and a lot of the awesome stuff I’m seeing coming out of the Turnip28 community.

I recently had a family member call my sculpting a waste of time, and with the internal angsty teenager inside me, it only relit my passion to make more. Fuck those guys. Believe in yourself!
