How to Sculpt Fantasy Miniatures Part 6

In this part we sculpt out the musculature and shape of the 3 inch miniature. We get it looking realistic and add the sword.

Part 7 Coming Soon.

Lots more stuff on my website including these miniature tutorials as web based tutorials with pictures, tools and more.

Thnks for the vid ^^

I have one question, I accidently bought ground clay a while ago and although it's impossible to use it for detailed characters, can I still use it for buildings and props?

It's a shame to throw it away

[epicfantasy]

@RebeccaLessay hmm,I am not sure about ground clay, I have never used it. I say give it a try and see!

Can you make 1:87 scale figures using this process? If so do you have a tutorial ? or any info? I want to make my own figures for HO scale railroad.

[epicfantasy]

@smallwonderz Yes, you can make 1/87 scale using this process but you have to use the last few videos where I show you how to make the smallest minis. You can't use super sculpey at that scale. You have to use a professional two part epoxy like Procreate or Greenstuff. Thats the last few vids in this series. (the Woman warrior)

[epicfantasy]

@smallwonderz Yes, definitely, but you have to use the clays I use in the later installments of this tutorial like green stuff or procreate.

Brilliant videos-- this is an amazing resource. THANK YOU!! One question, can you use the q-tip with water technique on the super sculpey to smooth things out like you did with play-dough? Thanks again for these videos!

[epicfantasy]

@gjgoltz Yes, you can use the qtip and water technique on just about any type of clay to get a nice smooth look out of your miniature sculptures.

Just a general critique: You spend a lot of time tellings what was done, and what you are goint to do, but there are no shots showing you actually doing the sculpting. Shots showing the actual sculpting, tool use, how to sculpt the legs, arms, torso, etc...

[gridbug]

I agree actually. A good way to get the detail in without having to show it all in real time, is to speed up the frame rate of the video to show it all happening very quickly or use a timelapse mode (which is basically the same thing).

It would be really useful to see the working along with the explanation. ^_^

why do they need to be so small?? a 2 inch sculpture is still a miniature :P

[themantheycalledpao]

can i use the kneaded eraser in sculpting like that? thanks buddy! :)

[shoobedoorocketship]

@Darius12235 This guy is making fantasy miniatures.

You know what? I don't think Goblins, Kobolds or Wizards actually existed either.

vikings never used 2 handed swords

i don't know if you already have a video with what i'm gonna ask, but it will be realy usefull to upload a vid were it shows actual sculpting, it could be very helpful on how to add the details on the figure and the use of the tools you use
