One thing that I would like to point out is that it is a little unnecessary to get detailed in his torso area seeing as you are going to cover it up anyway. Im sure you did that on purpose to teach how to do some detail work. Im just pointing that our because I spent a few hours just on detail, only to notice that I was going to cover it up anyway :P But these are great video's and have eaten up a lot of my rainy sundays!
@NotComingHome Thanks for the comments and you are right. You also had a great idea about me making duplicate minis and selling them - would be fun :) I just finished a tutorial where I made ten miniature lizards. Have fun with your sculpting!
I am almost done with part 10 of this video series where I bake and paint the three inch viking miniature. Almost done with the painting and soon will be doing the video editing. Hopefully I will post it late tonight or early tomorrow!
Had an idea I am trying out. Roll a peice of sculpy flat and then using a tiny bit of tubing to imprint a pattern mail rings in it. Then after baking it becomes a mould for the expoxy. Could make all kinds of patterning moulds like this, scale or lamilar for instance.
Aftery trying with sculpy I find it's a bit too soft to do a good chainmail, but ring or scale ends up looking good. I will try other materials, might make a tool to imprint chainmail patters.
hmm.. ok. There are several different types of sculpey. The finest is the super sculpey firm. Thats the type that I use. After that you might go with ProCreate. Thats the two part epoxy the pros use. It will give extraordinarily fine detail.
Ok got it to work with regular sculpy. To do realistic looking chainmail (wich actually doesn't look too much like most fantasy representations) take a piece of tubing (mine is about .8 mm OD) and holding it at a 45 degree angle make a column of "C" impressions one atop the other. Then turn your clay around 180° and make another column of "C" marks so that the ends of the new C's end up in the centers of the last ones (wich should be backwards). Then simply repeat, filling in rows of columns.
great sculping and all but didnt puting the shirt on kinda make the man peck piontless to sculpt?

That is a terrific idea! I like it a lot. Would you mind if I give it a try and them make a video tutorial out of it?
