Is it just a poor quality photo, or does the print seem to lack the sharper details that were present in the OP? Especially the face seems to lack details?

If you compare it to this thread's first post of the rendered barbarian, then there's some lack of details due to printer's limitations. But when compared to my last 30mm test print there's a lot more detail allover the character. This is unprimed and no wash. The resin is a bit translucent and some of the details are harder to make up before primer is applied.

Looking forward to seeing these reach their full potential as painted minis.

Hey guys, here's a status update on my progress.
I made a successful print of all the figures I have sculpted so far. I gave them a gray primer to see the details a bit better. I'm really happy how they're turning out.

Here you go.

I also took a small break of the characters and did some of the props.

I like the cut of your jib, sir, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

Even if you're doing all this yourself, I still think you should get with Thantos for some distribution. There's definitely a market for these!

Hey again. Sorry I keep spamming this thread, but I just finished another figure. Skeleton this time. I know some of you might be a bit disappointed of not going with the scythe as a weapon. I just thought that skeleton warrior would be cooler look.

I'm not ruling anything out. I could maybe print some super limited sets of these, but I'm not sure if people are willing to pay the amount of money to make it worth my scarce freetime. What I've thought about is that I could sell the STL files somewhere and people can then print the figures themselves. But that's a bit going ahead of things, I'll finish them first and see if they're any good as a whole.

I will buy chests and doors for sure!
Why the door has that strange base, is there another piece to assemble together?

I always considered the scythe to be a bit of a cliché, an unneeded reference to the Grim Reaper. Variation is good, I'd say - especially for Skeletons you should see all sorts of scraps and tarnished weapons and armor. As it is, I like this design! |_P

My guess is it's shaped so it can straddle raised room edges, even if the door is at the corner of a room, it has space to straddle a raised corner.
It's like a new pair of underwear; at first it's constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you. I have to go...
