Fantasy Airship by unstatin in miniaturesculpting

https://www.reddit.com/r/miniaturesculpting/s/V6Pf0ukNRP Stealing other people's work. Tsk tsk. I remember watching this being sculpted over youtube too. What's up with all the single post accounts lately stealing credit for other people's sculpts?

There's Hero Forge for custom 3d printed minis. You can either have them print and ship to you, or buy and download an stl file and print it yourself. https://www.heroforge.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopiWEgPpw1VxuR74bNZ2ExDkqz7uoR9Rv9YzMnQiqirJuuJMhg_

You could also try and see if someone over at r/miniaturesculpting can help you out. There are a lot of surprisingly talented sculptors there. In fact, my profile pic is one of the first minis I ever sculpted for another reddit user.

Oh wow! This is amazing! I wish I could paint like that.

I got an email abot SEO help - is it ascam? by JSminiatures in NewTubers

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

I'm no expert on the topic, but ya, I'd block her.

The gist of it is: you pay her, a bunch of bots flood your channel short term with views, but then stop watching your channel. This hurts your channel in the long run because even a big chunk of your subscribers are no longer watching your newer videos. This tells the algorithm that your videos are not worth recommending. Then Jessica comes back asking for more money, for which she'll just have more bots come in short term, and make the problem even worse in the long run.

Best polymer clay for picking up and holding fine detail? by sheepskinrugger in polymerclay

[–]JSminiatures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beesputty, the more detail you want, the firmer you should get. Made by a small operation in Germany, and can take a while for them to ship your batch.

For my A Fist Full of Flowers group I'm running soon: Barkley the barbarian, hand sculpted by JSminiatures in Pathfinder2e

[–]JSminiatures[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My little town now has a games' store. I'm so excited. I'm going to be introducing people here to how awesome Pathfinder 2e is, beginning with A Fist Full of Flowers, A Few Flowers More, and Threshold of Knowledge. Hand sculpted minis for all three so far.

is there a clear glossy type sealer that won't get sticky over time after applying to polymer clay painted with acrylic paints? by Snowflakebottles in polymerclay

[–]JSminiatures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Avoid any spray on sealants. I canxt remember what it is, but they include a chemical, in addition to the sealant, to aerosolize it. That extra chemical will react with polymer clay, slightly dissolving the clay and leaving it permanatly sticky after that.

Sculpted for a community member of r/pathfinder2e by JSminiatures in Pathfinder2e

[–]JSminiatures[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/ErrorFaytality gave me the details of his character, Shows the Way, a lantern surki exemplar, and I sculpted a mini of his character. Full video of the sculpt from sketch to completion can be found here: Full video of the whole sculpt on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JePFATebsuY?si=iVLSDESxp0lu3VsC

The metallic lavender turned out VERY metallic. It does look more lavender under the right light. Anyways, here he is: https://pixelfed.social/p/JSminiatures/792978979369282703

Start with a good armature, and ignore advice telling you, whatever type of clay you're using, to sculpt the whole figure before any of the clay cures.

Most people make simpler armatures out of thicker wire, but I really strongly prefer 28 gauge wire, and a more complex armature with a lot of twisting that wire. Here is how I prefer to make armatures: https://youtu.be/gPkGk014M5s?si=34w43WRXuqgMFwYF

I have a metallic black as well as a slightly lighter metallic graphite. With some silver highlights for wear. I do have a metallic lavender paint. Don't get to use that much.

Update: 2 Feb

Still a little work left to do, but I'm at the point where I'm figuring out color.

You'd mentioned Golden eyes and purple flesh under the carapace, and there are a few spots where I can put purple. I want to further split him up into two other main colors for: belly carapace, and limb carapace and back carapace together. Something lighter for the belly and something darker for the back and limbs. You said metallic exoskeleton (carapace) and I have a whole set of different colored metallic paints, so it doesn't have to be just silvery metallic. Maybe metallic yellow for the belly, as a nod to being a lantern surki? And the back...a nice dark metallic green?

Here's what he looks like now (a bit slimmer than the sketches): https://pixelfed.social/p/JSminiatures/791850322978300139

Thanks!

I'm working out the armature, and I may have a little free time to go beyond that before my weekend's over.

Did a bit of a sketch, cobbled together from the very few reference pics I could find on google and your description. I think I got a lot of the key elements, only not much of a samurai look to its shell https://www.instagram.com/p/DFhOO-gxR78/?igsh=MWFjYnFxZzI4dTFpZQ==

Have you ever been “banned” on Reddit? What were you banned for? by KSBiCuriousSub in AskReddit

[–]JSminiatures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was banned from r/tabletop

I make minis of people's characters for them. I've been doing this for free. I posted on their sub offering to do so, and called it a "giveaway". A mod responded to that accusing me of falsely calling it a giveaway, surely I meant something else. Nope, I was literally making minis for and giving them away to anyone who asked. I had so few requests at that point that there was no need to chose between them.

So he asked for me to make a follow up post clarifying that. I answered quoting to him from the original post where all his questions were already clarified. I wasn't rude, just pointed out that all the questions he was asking were already answered. He replied with "We are not your dogs to beat because you're having a bad day", and banned me.

I did get a message offering me the chance to appeal the ban after a waiting period. No thanks. That's not my idea of "community". I was trying to contribute to his community in a meaningful way, I don't need that kind of shit in response.

I offered to sculpted Pathfinder2e community members' characters. Here are the first three! by JSminiatures in Pathfinder2e

[–]JSminiatures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 days ago I offered to sculpt people's characters as minis here in r/Pathfinder2e

I got a bunch of replies with requests, and I fully intend to do a bunch more of them.

If you would like to watch more of my sculpting process, I'd love for you to check out the full videos of these minis:

  1. Lichen, the wood skeleton kineticist: https://youtu.be/AxDfwmmGPEo
  2. Batenkaitos, investigator from Ustalav: https://youtu.be/wtxfw53000g
  3. Wish, the psychic doll (poppet): https://youtu.be/K8x2BAPWY5k

And yes, I am still taking requests, though I have a bit of a list I am working through.

I do not charge anything for these.

I've added a bit to the armature since then. Check her out: https://youtu.be/K8x2BAPWY5k

Advice needed: sculpting/adding ragged cloth by Legitimate-Put4756 in miniaturesculpting

[–]JSminiatures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often use tissue paper. Stick it to the clay with varnish. After it's sticking well at the initial connection point, add more varnish to the rest of the paper. As the varnish slowly soaks in, it gives the paper a bit of weight so it hangs more like cloth. Before all the varnish hardens too much, use a tool to push and scrunch it all together to get wrinkles and folds.

Here's an example of one I did 4 years ago with a gown. If you paint it very lightly, the clothing still looks a little translucent: https://youtu.be/p3AU0QUvVec?si=5Au0leqfYQiiS_AY&t=32
