ENWorld Sculpting Project #1 The Wizard's Lab (complete)

Patrick,
We're happy to have you. This really is just a way to have fun and hopefully inspire more people to give sculpting a try.
If you meet the deadline for submission to Pogre, then you get a bonus of some sculpts in metal.

We'd love to see your stuff.

Game ON!

What is the point of dollys? I've really never understood this. Twisting up an armature from a piece of copper wire and bending it into shape is about three minutes work. I don't dislike dollys or anything I've just never understood the point?
 

Well, for me, the point of an advanced dolly is that I don't have to "fill" as much filler space as with a copper wire.

With a basic dolly you still have to "fill" as much. So yeah, a basic dolly I don't need to use, an advanced dolly, is a godsend. At least for me.
 

Hey everyone,
I'm using an armature (pre-made) that I purchased from Jeff Valent studios. It is similar to the Reaper advanced dolly.

Alf: The dolly provides 2 purposes from my perspective.
1. It insures that your armature is in proportion. It leaves no quesswork.
2. As D'Karr mentioned it helps to include more 'stuff' in your undercarriage that you don't have to fill with green stuff.

It does provide a couple of challenges too.
1. They are proportioned for human anatomy (no dwarves, halflings, etc)
2. They can be difficult to mount/handle when sculpting I've had arms break off, etc.

I don't use a dolly all of the time, but for this project, I was sculpting a human, had one available in the right scale and launched. It's something us amatuer sculptors use.

Game ON!

The Golem has a head.

Congrats on the new little one Pogre. :)

Here is all I've gotten done. It's just a start, I still need to add details to it.

Fear my webcam-fu.

Anyone make any more progress?

Yes, I've made some progress. Not enough to be proud of but more than if we didn't have this challenge going on.

Here is a piece of my concept art, better than stick figures not Todd Lockwood by a longshot... LOL

I also added some of the progress on the sculpts. The snake has to be textured. The warforged legs are going to need sharper definition.

I never thought sculpting would be this difficult. It's a lot of fun though.

Looking good D'Karr. Nice to see some progress.
I have another business trip this week, but I hope to take a few photos soon.
I'll pop in with a photo by this weekend, if all goes as planned.
(I'm mostly done with the wizard. I just have to complete one step.)

Game ON!
