Absolutely beautiful sculptures. Hopefully someday I'll be able to do such detailed work as well. Your WoW player sculptures are better than the FigurePrints ones by several orders of magnitude.

Are there any sculpting resources/books/tutorials you could point me towards? :worship:

Thank you so much! I wondered why anyone would want me to make their character when they can get the real thing from Blizz. My mom is a doll maker so she's been my ultimate source. But I do love Maureen Carlson's polymer clay books. They're good for the basics of faces and hands, especially "How to Make Clay Characters." Also Katherine Dewey's "Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay"

I looked up Katherine Dewey's book (2008 Ed) on Amazon and- it is JAW-DROPPING. I am so getting that. I though the picture used on the cover was a real person until I looked closer. :drool:

Hah, if you look close at a Figureprints sculpture it is really just carefully painted polygon shapes. The colors are admittedly more brilliant and detailed, but the clothing has no body. It looks very awful with casters, since their dresses are just flat lengths. Like this: [link] :noes:

Man, having a crafty parent must really help. I've been blundering around with hit-and-miss crafting books, and still can't figure out how to make a proper armature.

I've never been that great with armatures myself. It's difficult when you have to bake something. Wood usually expands and makes the clay crack, plastic melts, and metal doesn't stick. I end up making it as I go with toothpicks and foil instead of creating a full armature first and then adding clay. I tend to make the parts with foil inside and then attach them to each other with the toothpicks.

Sounds like you've done a lot of experimentation!

So to make the pieces stick, you pierce the lump of clay+foil so that the toothpick goes into the foil?
