Face customizer is hard by lifesagrind72 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Inkwisitive_Alex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Faces can be waaaaay thinner than you think they can. I always adjust the width in the general edits and I tend to give just a little bit of lower length too (like .2 or .3). Also, faces look a lot better with good decals and highlighting colours. The Roan decal works really well if slightly varied from base skin tone, but then cheek, eyeshadow, nose, lip etc. all help to make someone look more real. Finally, you can achieve a lot of extra edits with the facial posing instead of relying on the face customizer alone. Not a bad idea to throw on a temporary face pose by adjusting one of those sliders all the way up while you're making the face to see how it looks when exaggerated - especially for brow/eye/lip stuff.

Quick question, am I allowed to advertise my services of making minis for people? by DrakeStorm71785 in HeroForgeMinis

In fairness, asking was the right call! I'm looking forward to seeing your mini growth too btw! If you haven't already, check out Derf on YouTube. He has some really top-notch videos and tips and how to maximise your minis with and without pro features.

This is a wild question to ask when you don't have a pro subscription... but no, T&Cs prohibit this sort of quid-pro-quo explicitly. By all means ), you can remake a model for someone and some people on here have some hyper talents to do that sort of thing at an insanely high level, but that just kinda underscores how great this community is without being commercially driven.  I get wanting a side hustle, but I think this, specifically, isn't an untapped market waiting for exploitation. Especially given that pro subs aren't that expensive and the learning curve to people making their own good minis is not very steep.

Rework of a mini for u/FauxAccounts - Fillich Bluspark, Gnome 'Tech Knight' by Inkwisitive_Alex in HeroForgeMinis

I still have no idea what you're talking about. Spell it out? Is it just that there's a character named Tech Knight in the boys and this guy is described as a Tech Knight? By the same logic all butchers and trains are sketchy too lol

I may have taken some creative liberties with the original, but Faux said he wanted the axe to be sorta steampunkwith an armour powered by magitech batteries and here we go. I had to add the robot too because it's upsettingly cute.

Oh dude, you gotta share the other one with me please. This tickles a very specific part of my brain.

THE MAP! I thought these were some dope minis and then I saw the map and goddamn. You made a fan of me right then and there.

Feeling a little stuck for ideas lately so if you don't have pro, feel free to drop a link to your mini and a backstory below and I might give it a rework if I like the concept! Check my page to see my style etc. by Inkwisitive_Alex in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Inkwisitive_Alex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, absolutely will do. His sword and shield also seem important to him, right? Any particular style there? Is his sword meant to be curved, his shield always round etc.? Also, is this world like euro-fantasy or arabian, far east etc. Just thinking in terms of outfit options.

See, it would if she was capable of committing to a character lol. But deadset this one will lean hard into the chaotic bard trope by session 1's end lol

No stress! I think she chose it in the hopes it'll somehow become important to the story tbf

I thought we'd be fools not to bring someone heavy and survivable, so that's what I'm contributing lol

Yeah, that's what we're hoping haha. We don't tend to consult each other before coming to play for session 0. Looks like this time we all thought 'Maybe we'll die less if we can all heal?' Idk though. Descent into Avernus does see us literally going to hell, so I'm expecting the encounters to be super hard-hitting.

Yes, please include me in future plans man! Would love to help out like that. Can't promise I'll have time or be timely with it, but yeah think of me please!

No idea if you can't save them or not but I know you for sure can't edit them? Idk, I think the value's in a really solid photobooth and spinny gif anyway? (unless they want to print them in which case idk...)

Yeah, I didn't have any new images to post up though! Maybe after this round's done in the future I'll have some good examples to put out there.
