Moderator TaleSpinner Posted August 18, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2010 Derek, you out did yourself on this one. I absolutely love her. I've been waiting for someone to sculpt her and your style fits her so perfectly. Thanks for the great sculpt. I'm going out to get her tonight.

Moderator TaleSpinner Posted August 19, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2010 Went to the FLGS last night and they are already completely sold out of this sculpt. It'll be two weeks until they get the next order in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm curious, why the large wire in the back? The artwork show it to be just a thin wire. Something easily added by the painter/player if they wanted to replicate that part. Good to know she is out thou, love the sculpt + the artwork it's based on as well.

dks Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thanks for the compliment, TaleSpinner, but I'm sorry to hear that you'll have to wait 2 weeks! I'm really happy with the way she turned out, too. @Haldir: As for the thick wire, I figured it would be easier to scrape and file it down to a finer diameter or just chop it off entirely, than it would be for the buyer to add the cord if I had omitted it. I imagined that if I omitted the cord but left the pulled-up point on, someone would say "look at this silly mistake in the drapery!"; if I omitted the cord and the pulled-up point, someone would say "adding the cord is pretty easy but I'm not good enough with greenstuff to make my own pulled-up point." So it goes. I should get around to painting her in the next month or so -- and I'll make the wire much finer first -- so we'll see how she turns out.

Derek Yeah, I though I could just snip it off at the top and bottom and just insert a fine brass wire in its place, so it didn't phase me at all. I'm really itching to paint one of your sculpts. I love the way you do your eyes, but I just haven't been able to work it in the schedule yet. Right now I'm concentrating on learning to sculpt myself. I went to another FLGS last night looking for it (yes, I really want it). They don't carry any Pathfinder minis, only Dark Haven, Cronoscope, Warlord, and LE. Argh!

Qwyksilver Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm actually glad you commented on that Randy and Derek. I would have likely presumed that was some sort of casting artifact and nipped it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I post a painted version it will be clear that something is there on purpose! Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 thanks for the reply Derek. I guess when I first saw the green I figured it was just there to support the casting (thin limbs, etc). It'll be interesting to see how you file that down, as I'll just snip it & put some thin music wire in it's place (something even I could do, ha ha) For those that haven't seen the artwork, this is it: & I will say DKS sculpted the mini perfectly.

Cyradis Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Looking at that artwork, now I'm drooling. Ahh figure painting will be the end of my wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex3 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ah amazing! I had actually spent a while looking for a good miniature to represent a princess in an upcoming D&D game, but the best I could find isn't half as good as this. :3 It must be fate. I can't wait to see the awesome paint jobs people give her, since I'm sure mine will be pretty fail :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishil Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 That's a lovely piece of concept art, and as DKS is sculpting, I'm sure the figure will be equally as good. Ishil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
