Elementals Work In Progress!
🕑 Added 2020-02-16 21:49:33 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here are the elementals so far~ I know they aren't quite traditional. I really took advantage of the artistic freedom I have as an independent artist, and I think it shows! Hope you like them!
These are all the greater elemetals so far. The lesser will be much less defined forms in addition to being smaller with different poses.
I got some great feedback yesterday via comments and personal messages. One of the biggest ones is that I don't share my WIP photos here! I post in the Discord and livestream daily, but I know a lot of you don't see that. So I'll be more active here too :D If you have any more feedback for me, let me know here or send me a message!
FIRE
Fire is all about power to me. So I did my best to reflect that in the design! Tall, domineering, and spiky is the result!
WIND
I think there is something inherently graceful and beautiful about wind so I decided to go a more feminine route.
EARTH
He ended up looking like a friendly rock gorilla and I just love it <3 I imagine it carefully stepping through a meadow trying not to crush any flowers haha
I livestreamed the entire process for all of these. $10 patrons have access to all recorded livestreams. So if you are curious how I did these in real time, check that out! You can subscribe to my YouTube channel here for notifications on my livestreams.
Thank you for your support! I have grown a lot as an artist recently and I'm glad to have yall here with me. Thanks for trusting that I could make some awesome elementals because I really wasn't sure lol These are notoriously hard to sculpt, and I'm both relieved and proud to see the progress!
Best,
Mia Kay

I really like these, especially the earth elemental. Will there be a water elemental as well?
M3DM

Ron Purvis

M3DM
Oh yay!!! I left lots of areas sorta flat with deep cracks to hopefully help with grass/flowers <3

I cant wait to ink these with clear resin and then paint for more details... that earth one is going to have grass and flowers growing on him!
M3DM
Thank you! Hope your players like em too :D

Count me among those who like that these are not the almost cookie-cutter approach that can be found elsewhere. I really want to produce these at my table and watch the players' reactions.
M3DM
Haha thank you! Yeah. Most elementals are so vague that it just depends how you paint them what element they are. I did my best to avoid that!
M3DM
Woo!

Loving them so far, I really like that they're not just amorphous swirly blobs and actually have a distinct form from each other
Nick Wood
Awesome. Sexy. I like em
M3DM
Thank you! haha
M3DM
Thank you!!! I LOVED those games so I really appreciate that <3
M3DM
Thank you so much!! That is a huge compliment and exactly what I am going for <3

Nope! They aren't finished sculpts yet either. The flames all point upwards too, so worst case scenario some of the flame tips will just be cut short 1mm or 2. It all depends on how big you print him too. Most of them are pretty chunky too. If the tip of the broom for my witch can print on FDM I am 100% confident these flame tips will print too. I'm planning for the base to be about 60mm too.
Dave Smith
Holy cow!
Nick Wood
Super cool...however, I have concerns with the flame tips for FDM. Have you test printed them?

Hey, if it results in stuff like this then please feel free to be as artistic at you ever want to be! I really feel that your approach here captured the true aspects of these elementals, and not just their rote shape and form.

These are looking great! They remind me of Elder Scrolls
