Brawniac's 3D sculpted big hats

As a total fan of your work, gonna just want to give some heads-up from my small experience in sculpting and printing.
Be careful with those small pointy parts, like the little tail ok the ass blunderbuss, the arrow wooden part or again the hob ears.
You wanna thicken them or they will be way too fragile when printed if not directly fail/lose the detail entirely
If you can, try to connect those parts as much as possible to the main body of the model, or check them for some extra sturdiness.
Remember that generally, our typical house 3d printer won’t make the model as crisp as your sculpt (grazie al cazzo, thx to the dick, those are some 200 euro printers, not some 5k euro monsters) so the “loose” parts would be the first one to go.

This is probably the same reason why old casted model were generally chunky xD

ALL THIS ASIDE! KEEP GOING! YOU ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!! BRAVO MARKO

Thanks for the comments Eddy! Here you guys can see how work is coming along on making the geometry and poses more print-friendly:

Definitely infinitely more robust, less prone to printing errors etc. Looks great too. The only thing to check i can think of is whether the beard needs yo be more deep cut or not. Say the figure gets printed at 92%, does the detail hold up?

Good call, I printed 1 mini some weeks ago, same scale as classic big hats, the ringlets in the beard were a bit fading, but all still there.
Also Marko, if I can help in anyway, in always available!

Love the Blunderbutt! I’m working on a Daemonsmith and Wasson brand asskraken-pistol for the Bastards. Never enough rear end themed ranged weaponry!

You should make three of these goblin slaves as the See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil.
Their faces are perfect for it, they’d go well with your exploding CD blunderbuss…"Which one of you miserable maggot goblins messed with my blunderbuss?! "
We don’t know boss.
