Default Guild Wars Figurines

Edit/ Update: sorry for the wait, it took a while to get some more material to work with, but now I have a ready supply, so you should see some new ones soon, and I'll be putting them out in pairs when I can. Cya soon.

Interesting choice in media, we don't get figurines often. I like how the titan looks though its hard to tell because of the quality. I think we'd be able to see it better if you just kept all of the background and maybe took pictures of all the angles. (Front, side, back)

What are they made out of?

And the titan looks awesome.

Only criticism I have is don't white out around them, It would probably be a lot easier to view
if we could see them on their own surface and background in the full un-edited picture.

Chicken of the Sea: Ya, I was skeptical of figurines at first, but i kinda like how they came out in the end. I'll get some better angles tomorrow, or soon, more likely, to lazy right now lol.

Chrisworld: Thanks, I'm glad u think so . As for materials, a magician never reveals his secrets lol maybe ill tell ya when i get my hands on more of it

I agree,
repost the images without the cutout parts around them. Right now it's a bit distracting and it's harder to appreciate the work you've done.

Some size comparison would be nice too.

The way the legs are stanced for the ranger looks odd to me.

I'd like to see the scale. Also, is that material paintable? Does it harden after sculpting?
I look forward to seeing more. Nice creative idea.

My brother is an illustrator. When he was in art school, he sculpted for me a chess set with felines versus rodents. It was brilliant. That was maybe 18 years ago, but I'm still in awe over the time it must've taken him and the skill required.

Looks like earwax!

Very nice, I especially like the Titan. Whatever that material is it really works well with it. I'd love to see a Destroyer!

Nice, the titan actually looks like one. The ranger, tbh not so much . If these do harden and you perfect this, you can make some money

Thanks for being honest everyone, more to come in the future, I'll add size comparisons and different angles later, so keep your eyes open

Much better, though the ranger has hair in it. Ewww. =P

I have no idea what material you use but I still like the way you shaped the titan. Like theoden said, is the material paintable?

It kinda reminds me of those old strawberry fruit roll ups I used to eat, except made into awesome shapes. Yum.

Is this stuff carvable/sandable? Maybe wear latex gloves on the next to keep the fingerprints to a minimum. Painting would help hide imperfections too. Also use tweezers and pluck out the stray hairs. Otherwise looks like a good start.

Cool. I like the burning titan aswell. It looks nice! You should paint it. =D I would imagine making a 'human' character so tiny would be difficult. The ranger is super mini sized for the amount of detail needed. Maybe you should try making a larger one. :P

I second the more monsters notion. They would work well as tiny figurines.:P
