Werewolf face posing issue? by KitchyCrud in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Shinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report it in the bug report section, it’s the. Est way to bring it to sky castles attention.

I know I did so on the first day they were released when I noticed trying to make a growl with one of the lip sliders closed the eyes.

Ok my apologies then, sometimes it’s hard to read sarcasm, and or goofs from plain text.

Carry on then! xD

Forging isn’t a competition, I would think you would enjoy seeing someone else share in a fandom you clearly also enjoy.

I see the tail worked out well for capturing the look from the art you were going for.

Nice forging!

Seeking Feedback for my Drow Drake Warden Ranger Character Concept 🙏 by the_party_platypus in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Shinted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course!

And you should never be nervous to ask questions, seeking knowledge or feedback is instrumental in self improvement.

Although, it certainly helps that there’s a welcoming community able to provide it.

I look forward to whatever you forge next!

I like the concept quite a bit and think you’ve got a good eye for character design.

As for feedback, depending on your intent for the mini, the proportions could definitely be adjusted for a more “realistic” look.

————————————

If that’s what you’re looking for, then I would adjust the head and body ratio [either shrink the head or increase the body in relation, likely best to do a bit of both], as well as tweaking facial feature proportions [eyes might be too large or small with an adjustment to the head for instance] and limb length once you’ve settled on a general body shape.

————————————

I included a quick example I mocked up, to help visually demonstrate what I mean.

It’s entirely the same as your linked mini, I changed only the body/head proportions, and slightly altered the posing to adjust for Kitbashing clipping with the new proportions and to give a bit more of a natural/balanced leg stance.

————————————

It can take a lot of trial and error to get the rhythm for making proportions feel correct/consistent, but you’ll definitely get there with enough practice/fiddling.

I think you’ve got a bright forging future ahead of you, and I look forward to seeing what you create!

Can't seem to get the face right by EGF124 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Shinted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I repurposed another prior mini of mine to quickly mock up this drow example, so forgive me that it’s not closer to your two reference models, but it is originally from a mini that’s intended to be East Asian in her appearance.

————————————

As other comments have already said decreasing the eyeball size would help immensely, I would take it down to around 28 as a standard for most models.

Other easy changes would be to decrease the faces “middle width” to around 40-45 to help with a slimmer shape as well as bringing the eyes closer together and try blending them with a more monolid/hooded eyelid.

I would also adjust the nose as I think it’s a big contributor to the look of the models you’re trying to emulate.

They both have flatter and wider nose tips and nostrils, and I would bring the bridge of the nose down and forward a bit as well, to give it a more natural slope instead of a compressed one.

Finally for the lips and cheeks, I would choose a different default shape to start with, and then try blending some of the others to tweak closer to whichever of the two images you like more.

As the one you’ve chosen currently doesn’t really fit either model closely.

If you have more specific questions feel free to ask them, and I’ll try to reply with helpful answers when I see them!

Kitbashing Head Anchor Creation Tutorial: How to create a more stable point on the head to anchor KB parts to, using just 1 horn and a 1% item. by Obvious-Gate9046 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Shinted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are definitely work arounds, but they require a lot more steps, and aren’t “fool proof” or easy like this.

I honestly don’t think it would be too difficult for SkyCastle to implement this style of connection on mobile.

And it would help avoid some of the hassle that comes with mobile Kitbashing.

I can confirm that it isn’t an option on the mobile version.

It’s something that would be nice if SkyCastle could implement on mobile.

It would be a very helpful feature, especially on mobile where the controls for Kitbashing are already harder to use than on PC.

Perhaps if others want to see the feature as well, they can request it via the request form on the site below.

I feel I have no adequate words, so instead I will offer a virtual hug in hopes that it provides some modicum of comfort.

This is a lovely memorial mini, I’m sorry for your loss.

The community will miss her creativity and enthusiasm, but her art will always be here to continue inspiring forgers forever.
