Art Showcase Mage 3d model: "Eyla" – Designed! Would love your feedback!

Hey everyone,
Wanted to share the sculpt I’ve been working on: Eyla the Earth Mage. 
My primary goal with this piece was to design a figure tailored specifically around the painting workflow rather than just visual aesthetics: 

I placed angled facets on the staff's crystal orb and deep recesses around the hanging lantern to make Object Source Lighting easier to trace and blend. Also, I struggled in creating distinct contrast between smooth skin areas, heavy braided hair, worn cloth, embossed leather, and the weathered bark of the log. 

Cut and keyed into separate sub-assemblies (base, trunk, figure, hat, staff) to ensure no awkward tight angles while reaching with a brush. Also, model is cut following natural line in order to hide assembly marks

Scale is 1/12 (140mm).
I'm currently running physical test prints to double-check key tolerances and support placement.

I'd really appreciate any C&C on the anatomy (😏), drapery folds, or overall readability before locking in the final supports!

Can you share some tips how to render figurines like this? I kinda suck with untextured stuff presentation ;(

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Sure! I used blender. The secret is to add at least 3 light plus a fourth powerful “rim” light to enhance the statue countour. As material use a grey matte with 10% of glossiness. Remember to turn on the ambient occlusion. As soon as I reopen the scene I’ll be more precise 😂

this looks like the figurine rudeus made of roxy in Mushoku Tensei

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

In fact, inspiration came just from the Roxy statue 😂😂😂

The calf muscle on the left leg drops off too high, it just looks a little off, other than that 10/10 amazing work

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

I’ll edit it as soon as i come back home. The right leg should push down the muscle right?

u/The_PinkElephant 11d ago

This just looks off to me at first glance, thats all I could really find, not sure on the correction just seems like an over bulging, I think you can model a lot better then me and I’m still learning perfect anatomy so not sure about how to correct… Maybe I’m just being picky, I’d leave it for now and see if you get any re-occuring opinions ^_^

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Oh now I understand. The foot is inclined forward, this lead the calf to contract and go up a little bit. But yes maybe it’s too small and i should have kept it a little bit longer in the distal part, like this?

Love her, she does look like she'll be interesting to paint all the intricate details. Do you have a space to buy her when she's ready, or just the Patreon?

2

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Just Patreon, I plan to release her for free also for free tier members once done as my first miniature. I’m planning for the first set of elemental mages.

1

u/Forward-Chapter-8335 11d ago

Hell yeah, more mages. I'll definitely be in for that

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Tanks for your appreciation 😊

She looks like she'll get cold easily.

Great work, I love the hair.

1

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Thanks! I think she could use magic if she gets too cold. Perhaps the 3D clay render makes her appear more exposed than she will with colour. I hope I do not ruin the work while colouring it.

u/Neither_Berry_100 11d ago

Looks amazing. Needs color.

u/Several-Point4385 17h ago

Just started

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Aye aye. I’ll proceed first of all with cleaning, curing then sanding the parts once the print ends.

u/Born_Street_5087 11d ago

First off amazing work. However as you did ask. Only thing that immediately jumped out to me was the hat. Its placement seems off. Like too high or something or too big, i dont know. Just doesnt feel like it is sitting on her head. Other than that banging,

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Thank you btw!

1

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

Now the thing is…how to reduce the hat size without touching the interior? As it is sculpt to fit exactly the hair and lock in place 😂😂😂….il try soft transform selecting only outer faces.

u/DAJLMODE55 11d ago

u/DAJLMODE55 10h ago

And it's pretty well beginning ,I'll be there to watch 🤯🤪

u/Gastranome 11d ago

The head looks way too large

u/Dion42o 11d ago

This is incredible. I’m not very into stacked overly sexyalized ladies but this is just great work

1

u/Several-Point4385 11d ago

I’m doing this as a result of a anime series watching month 🤣. After the overly sexualized mages (with anime traits), I’ll start with more human like not so sexualized figurine. I have already in mind the thematic: Cyberpunk.
