Dungeon Characters

[cynthialee]

I only provide a critical eye as a potential customer and fellow creator. I am not busting his balls in any way. I am wowed by the skills demonstrated by the OP and tried to convey that when I provided my input. I could never do art like this, my skills are in the rules development department.
As a gamer and a game developer I personally welcome critical input of my work. I was just providing, what I considered, a courtesy.

i think they look great. nice tidy concept designs. so guys remember they are concepts and not the finished article. people are always quick to pounce on others creations around here and pick apart the most minute of details. have faith in thantos. im sure the finished product will turn out fantastic

I do have faith in Thantos. Of everything he's produced, he's never given me reason to doubt his talents or professionalism.
So I just take it for granted his professionalism includes taking an opinion when he's asked for one.
Who exactly pounced and on what?

[ampersand]

you only have to read through the thread in the eyes of a fellow creator to see what i mean.
only constructive bit i could agree was about the sword length. but again its a 'concept' not the final finished product.
the 'elf' faces are clearly to make a solid definition between male and female. elves having very androgynous looks are much more representative of female features than male. you have to remember these have to translate into tiny little miniatures. and in order for the features to be distinctive, they have to be strong features.
subtlety goes unnoticed in 28mm scale. but again. they are concept works. which means a wip.

i got very similar sort of comments when i tried my hand at sculpting. the dwarf for example, people said was great, then proceeded to pick apart the very tiniest of details.
the chain mail looks weird. dont like the design, dont like the finger. dont like the boots. dont like the axe
these were all matters of opinion. not constructive criticism
But not one single person managed to point out the massively hideous flaw in the model itself. so the one thing i could of done with as constructive critisism got missed by everyone,

When I say "no Elf face", I mean I don't exactly want Thantos to step into the miniature sculptor trap of making every female figure a bimbo. That's all. I even elaborated with the waist. In context, both of my criticisms I expressed are constructive suggestions towards more Barbarian warrioress, less Red Sonja 2000s comic book. I think Thantos knows that. Also, in all of my comments, there was a tongue in my cheek so thick that I almost gagged from it.

I am not a sculptor and even less have I worked from concept art.
I merely don't like the notion that that drawn face is conveyed in the miniature exactly in scale. If it's not, anyway, than no harm done in my comment. Thantos is the exert on how the art translates into the sculpt and then into the actual miniature, my job was to criticize because he asked for it and I said, please no Elf face because There are a shitload of scantily clad barbarian female miniatures with faces that are too cute.

[ampersand]

everyone is entitled to an opinion.

i look forward to what the actual elf will look like

[sajungzak]

I think they are looking good; will be excited to see how they turn out!

It took me a long time to find it, probably never would have noticed if you didn't bring it up... and in our defence it is nearly imperceptible in the image you posted.

I would hardly call it massively hideous, amp. I still love mine.

I'm at a loss as to what this is please clue us in (unless it's the pointing hand having 6 fingers which I thought was flash and trimmed out)

[Anderas]

I'm lost, too. I just took out my Ampersand dwarf and didn't find a failur


For the female characters, my order stands, Thantos!
