Goblins in Nostalgic style (3d printable)

Some of my older sculpts are looking a bit odd now, so I’ve started refining them and modifying parts that didn’t print or paint well. I liked this model, but the nose looks strange and he’s a little bit to lumpy. Also his belts and knife needed exaggerating to make them easier to print and paint.

Sketching of a goblin head complete with errors and lots of pressing undo. When the individual parts are to my liking I join the parts and use the remesh feature, before smoothing and adding details.

It has a face and ears from another model so they will be replaced with an original sculpt, but you get the idea.

The hands looking strange has been mentioned to me a couple of times now. There are many parts of my models including hands, that are left as parts until the ready to print model is exported, so that I can adjust the pose if needed after test printing. Before exporting the final model the parts are all joined and smoothed out. I hope this clears up why basic shapes are still visible on a lot of my models I post here.

It may appear to be a small change, but the original models took quite a bit of effort to smooth out the hands and give them a natural shape.  The low quality base goblin I used had very basic hands with no knuckles, So I’ve replaced them with the more detailed hands from my less basic goblin base. This will make finishing the hands on all final models a lot quicker.

Work in progress of this grot with a paint over to see what it looks like with colour.

Refining the mech design and experimenting with some ideas. including an ork.

For my game at least, its goblins vs goblins so a human head is out of place. Plus it was pointed out on discord, that it looked to heavy for him to be holding it like that.

The mech needs details and a pilot seat, but is going well.

This is also a test of rendering the model fast and making a turntable video.
