Hey everyone, Wanted to share the sculpt I’ve been working on: Eyla the Earth Mage. My primary goal with this piece was to design a figure tailored specifically around the painting workflow rather than just visual aesthetics: I placed angled facets on the staff's crystal orb and deep recesses around the hanging lantern to make Object Source Lighting easier to trace and blend. Also, I struggled in creating distinct contrast between smooth skin areas, heavy braided hair, worn cloth, embossed leather, and the weathered bark of the log. Cut and keyed into separate sub-assemblies (base, trunk, figure, hat, staff) to ensure no awkward tight angles while reaching with a brush. Also, model is cut following natural line in order to hide assembly marks Scale is 1/12 (140mm). I'm currently running physical test prints to double-check key tolerances and support placement. I'd really appreciate any C&C on the anatomy (😏), drapery folds, or overall readability before locking in the final supports!   submitted by   /u/Several-Point4385 [link]   [comments]
