This was my first successful print with my new AnyCubic Photon S resin 3D printer, using the Anycubic UV resin. It’s about an inch tall, and has a few imperfections. There’s a small dent on an ear, and part of the lowered hand is cut off due to forgetting to add using supports. The base’s rim is also not very smooth since the first few layers were wider and I struggled to shave them down.
This was my first real go at the layeringLayering is the technique of creating a smooth blend between colors by using multiple layers slightly thinned paint and shrinking each layer to create a smooth transition between colors. technique for skin, and it went pretty well. I also tried glazingGlazing is the technique of using very diluted paint in order to tint a miniature with a certain color. Glazing can be applied in layers to create smooth transitions between bolors. for the first time to add some red tones to the ears and face since the blood slightly shows through on areas with thinner skin like the face and ears. I also used a mix of stipplingStippling is a painting technique where you gently jab with the tip of your paint brush to create spotty splotches of color. It’s usually used for texturing rough-looking surfaces, or combined with glazing to create smooth blends. and dry-brushingDry-brushing is the technique of wiping most of the paint off your brush and lightly brushing a miniature, in order to only catch the raised edges with a light dusting of a highlight color. to add a fuzzy texture to the clothes.
The words "what you seek is seeking you" on the base were very intricate, and since I was painting yellow onto black it took many layers to show up nice and solid.
Overall, I think this miniature turned out beautifully. The print had a few mistakes, but for a first print it couldn’t gone a lot worse. The skin could use a little more contrast, but it’s shaded and highlighted well regardless.
