Goblins in Nostalgic style (3d printable)

About the Project
3d Printable Goblin project, Sculpted in Blender and test printed on a Anycubic Photon 4k mono. Loving old style full of Character minis from the eighties and early nineties, I decided that the modern goblins just didn't inspire me. So I figured I'd try my hand at making my own.

Making the model easier to paint
I've dropped the gun lower to close the gap between the body and the gun, by flipping the mag onto the inside it closes another gap. There are now no small areas to get a brush into. Should make it a nicer painting experience.
Bulking out the squad.
Will be holding a submachine gun, yet to be designed.
Ork Base mesh tweak
Still not sure I want to expand to do Orks, but we shall see.Added boots to shotgun grot
Shotgun grot now has boots and shotgun shells around his waste.
Old model improvements
Alot of my older models had very basic faces and I've been going back and refining them.clothes added now the boots
After this model I will go back through my models and finish them off with final smoothing and details added.Started a model based on one of my faverate Kev Adams minis
This one is just for funContinuing with heads and faces today.
I need a lot of head options, because I hate when models use the same details. Refining my older sculpts to match the newer ones.
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.
Video time-lapse of me sketching a goblins head.
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.
Another model work in progress
It has a face and ears from another model so they will be replaced with an original sculpt, but you get the idea.
Arm and hand once posed
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.
Changing hands. arms too.
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.
