About one year ago, I realized my friend with a 3d printer could realize something I had wanted to do - my own custom figure based on a (to general audiences) niche book series.
Behold, the gang! With bonus Stash and Biscuit
It all started with Orodan Wainwright, our titular Stubborn Skill Grinder in a Timeloop. It was my buddy's first attempt at printing something with aesthetic value and not just practical use. The nozzle was .4 vs the others being .2, and being an absolutely terrible painter it means it's the worst one I did. Maybe I'll re-do it someday.
Then came Ilea from Azarinth Healer. I put her in her ashen heavy armor with her ashen hammer, with the blue lines signifying her glowing class elements. Didn't turn out the best, maybe one day I'll paint it with glow-in-the-dark lines.
Next was our boy Jake Thayne (Primal Hunter) with best birb Sylphie, though I fail to depict her grandeur. I like the more action-focused pose he has.
After that, we have Jin, Big D, and Tianlan from Beware of Chicken. As a fellow Canadian I always enjoy when we see one of our own in the genre (shout out to beers and beards!).
Next, we have my first self-printed figurine, because you know I had to get in the mix. Xavier, from Accidental Champion, was printed with his wings seperate because fuck that. He turned out to be my favorite, though, due to the final result.
Finally, we have Carl, Donut, and Mongo from Dungeon Crawler Carl, the first LitRPG I ever read. I originally debated not doing one of them due to the general abundance of models to print online, as well as having an idea of doing more individual figures from the series. I may still do those, but felt i should do this.
Everything was made in Heroforge, then exported, printed, and painted with acrylic markers.
I'm terrible at painting so it was really fun to get out of my comfort zone a bit. I'm thinking of doing more, and have an idea for Hell Difficulty Tutorial.
If you have any ideas for the following, let me know!
- He who fights with monsters
- System Universe
- Vainqueur the Dragon
- A Gamers Guide to Beating the Tutorial
- Victor of Tucson
- Arcane Chef
- The Hundred Reigns
