Head sculpting - creating tavern personalities for the Elfsong Tavern
Hey all. I hope you're all enjoying the weekend and making time for a bit of R&R with some hobbying thrown in!
Someone on my Discord server requested a video about sculpting heads, and I happen to have done a session on my live stream recently making 9 different tavern patrons, so I thought it would be a good one to timelapse and do a bit of a voiceover on. I started each head using my default base mesh or one of the other sculpts that I'd already done, then us a combination of move, clay buildup, orb cracks and h polish to rework them to create 9 unique individuals oozing with personality! 2 of the characters are NPCs from the Elfsong Tavern who have names and a very brief description for me to work from, but the rest are just fillers and background for the tavern so all of them were made up on the fly or suggested by my stream viewers. At the end of the session I ended up accidentally sculpting the Chuckle Brothers (if you're not from the UK, you probably won't get that reference so heres a clip for you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80yhsHVMrFg)
If you're interested in the full 1 hour and 30 minute video with technical explanations of the sculpting technique and my decision making process, the full video will shortly be available exclusively for Patreon subscribers on https://patreon.com/ltminis
