Under the Sea

Hey guys, long time again, and I’m back with another picture dump.

My friend Steve is running an underwater campaign and wanted me to paint up a bunch of his minis for him. The majority of these are Reaper Bones and I will try and put which models all of them are in the picture’s descriptions. Enjoy!

lionfishmermaid1 — Altered Bones mini, added mermaid tail. Formerly “Glitterwing, Slyph”

lionfishmermaid2 — Lion Fish markings, mermaid fairy

lionfishmermaid3 — close-up of sculpted tail

SPMermaid1 — Bombshell Minis Steampunk Mermaid

Picture Backlog

Here’s a bunch of minis I haven’t gotten around to posting about. I thought I would do a little update with all of them since it’s been a while for a lot of them. Hope you enjoy.

Hello again!

Sorry for the delayed absence, I have been painting this whole time but just too lazy to upload pictures.

I recently set up an instagram, twitter and facebook page for 1d3 Creations, so look for me on those!

I recently did a couple customizations for myself, check them out below.

HeroForge Review- part 2

So, here she is, finished up. (You can click on the image to see it full sized and get a better idea for the texture)

Over all I would say, not worth shelling out the money even if it’s custom. At least, for me. She turned out alright, but like I said in the previous post, the texture is too bumpy and the detail is not pronounced enough for me to be happy paying $30 for myself in the future. I don’t know how feasible it would be to file this, or sand it to try to smooth it out, I didn’t want to take any chances with something so expensive. Anyone else gotten one and painted it yet? Let me know how you feel!

HeroForge Review- part 1

Before Christmas I ordered a HeroForge mini. After what felt like forever and hearing that there would be further delays, I was surprised to actually have received it in the time frame promised (1 month). It was quite pricey at $30 for the “paintable” quality, but I thought I would give it a shot to see if I could recommend it to customers. They have a really cool customization interface, but the options are disappointingly limited. I’m sure they will add more when they get a chance, since I’m sure its not easy to program the art considering all the posing options and such. I came up with the following for an Arcane Bloodrager from Ustalav that I was going to use for Carrion Crown until my Bard was magically resurrected. Her name is Grete.

Look at how bad-ass she looks. You can manipulate their mouths and eyes a lot, which was super fun. So, when I got the mini I was a little disappointed by the outcome. The body is great and the clothes in the rendering lack enough detail that they are not bad, but the face is no where near what I was expecting. The eyes just aren’t as defined as I like. Now, don’t get me wrong, I completely understand the limitations of 3D printing and that it will probably never have the same level of detail as a sculpted and molded metal mini but the picture made me hope for more. There are spots where the print layers are quite obvious, like the back and boots and there’s a pretty rough texture in general. Also, they seem a bit brittle, so I’m fully expecting to have to repair the blade at some point or just use her as a display figure.

primed black, as you can see, it’s very bumpy textured

primed back, here you can see the layering of the 3D printing the most, this probably could be sanded out with a lot of work or just pretend it’s texturing

Stay tuned for the painted version.

Okeno Matata

Here we have some members of the Red Ridge tribe from Pathfinder Society #6-11: The Slave Master’s Mirror! As proper Gnolls, they never go anywhere without their dire hyenas. If you meet them on Stonespine Island, take care they don’t make you into their newest slave… or their next meal!

Perfect Strangers

Here we have Orphyro and Imelda, a dangerous team-up of a necromancer cleric and alchemist/fighter that the PCs need to overcome in Pathfinder Society scenario 5-18: The Stranger Within.

Some figures

I have to get this post out or I’ll never do it. I’m feeling a little down lately and would really rather be in bed, but it has been requested that I make an update. Here are few figures I’ve done for Brandon lately:

First up is Ayla, the Barbarian. I must apologize for the pictures (again). I did these at the game store with flash so they are a little shiny. For Ayla, I added some green stuff to her chest to cover it, because the figure had bare-chested cleavage and I didn’t feel that any self-respecting barbarian from the cold-ass Land of the Linnorm Kings would leave her chest exposed. She has a big spear, doesn’t she?

Here we have Lilith the Tiefling Witch. I did some custom sculpting on this one, as per request. The original is here. What you can’t tell in the Reaper picture is that her ass is hanging out in the back and Brandon wanted her to look like she was wearing clothes, not be mostly naked. So, I added belt and zipper to the front and covered her butt in the back to make her clothed. I also had to remove the spine spear because it was floppy, so I gave her a staff.
