"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Hey, this thread is really cool and is making me want to dig out the ol' ProKreate. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's WIPs and it's super educational.

"Oh, I should try to sculpt up some T'au antenna since I seem to have lost a bunch in the past few years and a straight line block should be simple enough to try....."

Twenty minutes later and I'm remembering how much I hate ProCreate and my own utter lack of skill. Going to have to keep at it. Are there any good youtube channels to check out?

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Does anybody have tips for sculpting a part of a model? My cats apparently knocked a mini in progress on the floor where my puppy could chew on it, and now it kinda looks like Meltman from Action League Now! and is missing about an arm and a half. I have a replacement for one of the arms and the weapon, but the model's pose is holding the weapon with both hands so I'm going to need to like....wire it to the shoulder and build up over the wire to make it fit and look good, just wondering if there's any tricks I should know.

Luckily a lot of the damage on the model itself is either stuff that you won't really notice is gone with some decent cleanup since it's a really organic sculpt, basically an angry caveman - the random bone spikes and stuff on his armor are probably a lost cause but I can weather that into battle damage pretty easily. The other stuff is things I can (hopefully) easily sculpt full replacements for, like a loincloth, or things that will be easy to obscure if I screw up, like the toes on one foot. I'm just worried my limited sculpting skills will make this guy end up with a dumb looking noodle-arm.

I’d hoped to have pictures of my first commercially-cast miniature by now, but it’s a low priority job for the caster and also they were apparently hit by a car, so instead you get some random thoughts on sculpting.

Whoa. Congrats to you (and a quick recovery to them)!
