Elf Spear Maiden Miniature
The range of miniatures available in my collection is growing.
So is my experience, and with it, the speed with which I can make a new miniature.
This one is based on the same basic poseable female body, that I used for the two sorceress models. Because it can be posed, it is fairly quick to make a new model from it.
After I have posed it, I apply the pose, and then I set about correcting the issues that the posing has caused. Usually this is around the shoulders and elbows, as well as getting the muscle bulges to look right.
When I have that done, I add clothes and weapons or other things. These are kept as separate meshes which makes it easier to hide the other parts so it doesn't get to cluttered while I work on it.
The head is usually kept as a separate mesh as well. The hair is sculpted like the clothes.
finally I make a test print (usually 2 or 3) to see if it comes out ok, and to have something to paint up for the shop-photos on Shapeways.
Then I upload it and wait. You can go see this one In my Shapeways shop

interesting. I've got to play around with using skeletonized meshes at some point.
Right now I'm checking out Modo as a potential tool for my future models, as Vectary's "upgrade" has left me unable to adapt to the new interface and built-in rendering that my computer can't handle X/
I know I should just learn to model using Blender, but I felt like testing out other tools too XP
skeletal meshing is a great tool (both for animation and for posing) and very satisfying once you get the hang of it. It is also quite a steep learning curve, and fairly frustrating in the beginning, but you do not strike me as someone who is daunted by that :-)
First, I really like that you're making tangible things from your 3d modelling. Beyond that, I particularly like this piece for the pose. A definite 'You can try to fight me if you want.' kind of swagger.
Thanks, I am glad you like it. It was something like that, I was going for. When working in this small scale the pose becomes quite important because the details are so small.

Very nice, i guess from the lack of clothes that she is a wood elf:) Also be her company, i remember the other guy. He was one of my favourite, a wood elf captain i think:)
Yes I was thinking wood elf as well. I have quite a few of the old wardancer miniatures stacked away somewhere, and as you mentioned I also have a few spearmen
