I'm thinking about sculpting my own figure for a D&D campaign. Any recommendations on a great tutorial? thanks

hi uglijimus
wouldn't it be easier to check Reaper and Dark Sword ranges?

Re: sculpting tutorial
you're not providing too much info...
how much do you know already, what experience do you have, what do you need to learn?

Re: sculpting tutorial
I've already checked Reaper and Dark Sword and couldn't find any that suite my character.
As far as my experience goes, none. I do know that an armature is needed (usually wire of about .25 mm I think) and there are various types of clay to work with. Also
I heard sketching is pivotal for creating a successful miniature. I guess I am looking for the ultimate guide/tutorial for the layman such as myself.

Re: sculpting tutorial
I don't think there's an ultimate guide of sculpting, just as there is no such guide for painting. The subject is too wide.
I still believe it would be a better idea to find the existing mini and possibly convert it a bit to match your character.

Re: sculpting tutorial
Attend a large US convention either GENCON or ORIGINS, they both have many classes on sculpting and basing and painting. I go to both and it is GREAT training by talented people.uglijimus wrote:I'm thinking about sculpting my own figure for a D&D campaign. Any recommendations on a great tutorial? thanks
