Thank you for the kind words. If by designing you mean the making of the actual mini, I can't claim any credit here; this mini was made by a friend of mine, I assume through some mini-building website. I have zero talent in regards to artistic 3d modeling (but I can whip you up a bracket in SOLIDWORKS in no time!)
Busts are a great idea for flesh tones. It might actually be really cool to chop on of the orc minis I have and just print a bust of the head so I can play around with the tones on a larger canvas.
No worries, you've earned it! I'm happy to chat painting techniques & printing, if that's of interest. I teach local free workshops on both for all skill levels & ages, and I'd be happy to cool links, wax philosophical on OG tricks, etc. Oh, and the model seems to've been printed from a much smaller original sculpt, if the highlighted facets in the pic are any clue. I'm curious where it came from, academically. ๐ค๐ฝ
I honestly don't know where the mini came from. Like I said, I assume my friend used a website like TitanCraft or hero forge or similar to make him. As far as scaling, he may have bumped him up in size a little given his giant heritage, but the model is of "mini" scale (maybe 1.5 inches tall), so I can't imagine it was increased by much. Could be printing artifacts?
Fair point, yep. ๐ค๐ผ
