The most recent experience you had been putting off, but for whatever reason you tried. How did it go? Do you regret purring it off for so long?

    Tonight I started a miniature project with complex sculpting. I’m used to doing gap filling or adding texture to existing surfaces, but this is full on sculpting.

    I decided to start with a setting where everything is grungy and mutated, which is more forgiving. So far I am sculpting cultists with horrible boils and tumors, hoods, cloaks, and the details of a witch.

      That’s awesome. Do you know what you went to sculpt before you start? Or do you kind of go with your feeling as it develops?

        I knew what I wanted, but the details changed as I went. These are wargaming pieces. I knew I wanted gross cultists, so the weird skin growths were easy, I initially wanted something like tricorn hats but that turned into simple cloth with eyeholes draped over their heads.

        The witch was the hardest. I’m converting a male Celtic warrior into a female witch in a completely different pose.

        My sculpting is very rudimentary, but the aesthetic of this wargame is dirty and muddy, so I am hoping to cover my sculpting with layers of grimy paint.
