How come YOU get to curl up and chill so cozy while I have to figure out what to do with all these awkward appendages that just don’t feel right right now.
Last year I worked with a company called Zoink Games on the soundtrack for their game, 'Lost in Random'. It has a very Tim Burton-esque aesthetic and I love the art look and feel of the game, it's world and it's characters. I wanted to make a little something from it to sit on my desk. Here's the results:
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Dicey was a lot easier to paint as he's so much simpler, but Even was still relatively quick to do. The hardest part was the face. I struggle painting faces, and this one has so much detail and character that I wanted to get across in the model. I was quite lucky in that I had the idea to use the airbrush for the reddened eyes and nose, but forgot to thin down the paint enough and caused splatter. However, these turned out looking like the freckles and imperfections in the game's model and looked great.
The first print of Dicey was a little... dicey. You can see in the picture below that the detail just wasn't quite there and I had to go through and re-carve out the lines and shapes, and add a much more pronounced displacement map to the final mesh to have the details really pop. That way it would be easier to pull the details out with a wash and dry brush later on.
The diorama itself is also the first big print (that wouldn't have been possible with my previous printers) with my new Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4k. I was worried that the bigger print area would reduce the detail and make noticable edges/layers on prinst, but it turned out great and there's very little difference between the quality of the Mini and the Mighty 4k. For example, here's the Mini and Mighty 4k's next to each other:
Here's some more work-in-progress shots along the way:
Here's the characters individually:
Even's dress still doesn't feel quite muddy/dusty enough to match the in-game aesthetic, but I'm too worried about ruining it now to go much further, and I think it looks okay how it is with the more prominent colours.
What do you think? Have you played the game? Any other characters you'd want to see printed and painted? Feel free to pop a comment or a repost with your thoughts.
