I don\'t think I\'ve ever posted a submission here, or if I have it was so long ago that I\'ve forgotten it. But this one here is sort of a fun project I did where I took a mini that I sort of liked and tried to bring her up a bit in appearance through a conversion.
The raw mini is here for comparison:
I liked the mini to an extent but her head was too skinny and didn\'t match the level I saw in the lower half of the sculpt, so I thought I would try to balance it out a bit by adding some volume here and there.
The converted bits are her helm, shoulder armor, back loincloth and hair.
Before I started I took the image into photoshop and did a little drawing over it to get a feel for what the conversion would look like (posted in another thread about using photoshop with minis):
Then I tried to make it happen close enough with putty, magic sculpt, in this case.
Had some trouble with the swords, big flat areas facing the \"camera\" call for smooth blends and gradients, but that ended up looking too plain and wasn\'t doing anything for me so I ended up adding some kind of arcane symbol/swirly patterns to the sword, which don\'t make any sense, but add something to look at at least.
