Beautiful Sculpts from Around the World

I'm still blown away by the fact that we live in a day of 3d printers, even though the technology has been around for a decade.

I am really amazed about the progress this technique made during the last years. Some 6/7 years ago I was making moulds and using some prototypes which were made with this technique, but then you could see how the whole detail was grown from little layers from about 0.2 milimeter. This resulted in a not very smooth model, but at least you could see how the detail will be.
In anyway, as fas as I understood from earlier posts about this theme there are still some nuances with this technique. The model on the computer looks better than the real model, and a miniature which was made according to a sculpt, looks better than a miniature which was made according to this technique. But most probably this is the future. The modern miniature designers will be computer nerds

I really hope not as the art that escapes human hands is still limitless, unlike software. Utopia would be the two mediums existing next to each other, but reality may prove the one or the other obsolete.

In the digital art community there is a strong trend of artists going back to the traditional methods - not indefinitely, but to strengthen their skills in digital. Some stay, because while washing brushes and waiting for paint to dry is annoying ... its still better than the panic induced adrenaline rush when a critical error happens in software

The new Otherworld giant (metal, 2 kilos, 170mm about £60). I'm buying one after I'm settled back in the States.

$100 is a hefty price but it looks kind of cool and like it would really look like a Giant even next to the Rackham Titan dragon

Ya that guy is MASSIVE! Very cool model. I'll struggle with the price tag, but there is a possibility this guy could end up in my collection.

Otherworld is one of those companies I've been collecting from the beginning. The only things I don't like (or have) are the orcs and ogres. I don't foresee myself ever buying those.

New 54mm realese from Eolith. This one really cought my attention. Even though the whole sculpt is rather simple, it is very elegant still.

There's something terrifying about those.

I discovered this site last year and lost the link. I'm very happy to have the chance to bookmark it again. Those are awsome. So weird, full of details.
