Looks good. Better than the new Pro-Elfs...

Any plans to get it cast and let it into circulation?

wow !
nice work !!

looks good ! the scales are good !

as I'm currently sculpting too, I know how difficult it is !!
I'm working with brownstuff but also going to try greenstyff for sculpting, as it should be easier to make smoth surfaces with it.

good work !

Good work there mate. I have never tried to tackle a full sculpt and it looks good for what you have got so far. Is it finished or is there some detailing to do? The boots look a bit smooth but that may be the look you are aiming for, How difficult were the features of the face, ears etc?

I am looking forward to seeing future projects from you if this is anything to go by! :D

It doesn't look like he has much of a grip on that ball. His fingers should be spread or something.

I reckon it's good for a first mini though.

I like it. I have never sculpted a full mini either, but now I will probably try it.

I think the hand holding the ball is a bit too round. On the third pictures.. perhaps you should try to flatten it, and perhaps spread the fingers just slightly.

Very nice ! :D
Just a bit detail, I don't like very much the position of the ball in his left hand, it doesn't look very natural...
Except that, he's really great ! :D

Great work. As others have said, for a first miniature this is fantastic! As good (or better) than some of the stuff Fanatic have produced, even.

Keep scuplting! If the BB community can start producing their own miniatures, we will be in a really strong position. :D

Very nice looking mini. I agree with what others have said about holding the ball, but for a first mini it's great and you'll only get better with more practice (so keep doing more :wink: ).

Can you tell us any more about the process? How long did it take you from start to finish? :)

Basically i did it sticking little balls of greenstuff on a wire skeleton and then i modeled the greenstuff with GW sculpting tool and a pin....

The time...., around 5 hours...
