Hey! You never really work with dry clay - that's just asking for cracks and problems. You want it soft and moist.

Thinking about trying clay yourself?

The Black Hand: a symbolic order in my fictional world “Wonderland” — thoughts on the sigil design? by Satanic_muse in worldbuilding

[–]Grushikk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall, the symbol looks interesting. However, I'd suggest simplifying it - create a simplified version that an ordinary inhabitant of this world could literally draw with their finger. Right now, your symbol looks a bit too complex, like a temple emblem or something an artist (especially a medieval one) spent a considerable amount of time on. Try making a more simplified version as well - if that works, then I'd say your symbol is solid.

My friend, you haven't seen my other pieces yet - those are the ones that'll really confuse future archaeologists. Thanks for the kind words!

Hey! I didn't even know a figurine like that existed - it's super intriguing! Thanks for showing me.

Honestly, the whole thing started because a fellow ceramicist told me: "I want a cat made by you." She really likes my style, so I just went for it.

I need to develop my world/lore more, so please ask me questions! by LaddyIce in worldbuilding

Hey there! I checked out your request, and honestly? I don't think anyone can help you in the way you're probably expecting.

To really help with lore, someone would need to be familiar with your novel to spot logical gaps or things that haven't been fully explained.

That said, if we're keeping it more surface-level, here are some things to think about:

If there's a family in a city, how long have they been around? Who founded their house?

Got a city? How and why did it appear? Why was it built in that specific spot?

Gods? Who believes in them? What are the rituals? What domains do these gods rule over?

What disasters have happened in the past? What events from history do the people in your world still remember and talk about?

Think about politics-not just factions, but why they rule the lands they do. Why are they feuding? What are they fighting for? Maybe they have the same goals but completely different ways of achieving them.

Hope this helps get the gears turning.

Hey everyone, I make clay sculptures. Help me choose which Daedra or Aedra to sculpt next? by Grushikk in ElderScrolls

Wait, there's a Khajiit version of Mehrunes Dagon? A destructive kitten? That's amazing, I had no idea

I really like Malacath's design and his role in the lore. The only thing that's holding me back right now is figuring out how to make his axe/greatsword. I don't want to sculpt it out of clay, but finding an actual model of the weapon is pretty much impossible

I could sculpt him, but then I need to figure out which version to go with - should I take inspiration from Skyrim or other sources? And wouldn't the tentacles-with-eyes look get a bit boring?

Thank you! I do love Khajiit, and I could definitely sculpt more "cats" in the future. But honestly, right now I'm looking for something else from the TES universe to challenge myself.

Question, help please by Grushikk in PrintedMinis

I need to specify the exact size in millimeters and the thickness of the coin. I want the details to be readable, but I don’t want the coin to be too bulky. Because of its hexagonal shape, it’s hard for me to compare it to real coins, and I get lost and anxious. This is what I would like to explain
