I present my newest model - Elf demon, who became my new keeper of secrets . The model was downloaded from https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-elf-demon-191596, and I printed it on Anycubic Photon 3d printer. I sized it up a little and added a sword. It is my first big model from the 3D printer, and I think it turned out great.



Here is a compariso with original model (slightly modified), I think my new one looks better

Looks better than GW. Really good paint too!

I immediatly think of Goro, from Mortal Kombat

It turned out great! I don't see any lines etc.
I love the face and eyes, great job!

Critiques:
The model seems a little 'jacked' but Slaneesh is probably on roids/juicing
The sword is to small for the 'jacked' frame and lacks personalisation (maybe going for realistic, if so close to spot on size but needs to be longer)
Paint the claws/horns a more contrasting colour.

Only my perspective, overall seems awesome!

Thanks for comments and critique . I divided the 3D model into parts in Blender software for easier printing and painting, but it turned out the parts didn't fit perfectly. I had to use file and some green stuff, that is why it may be a little crooked. The sword model was made from picture of a real sword, and it really looks a little out of place in the model.

Awesome job on the flesh. I've been painting for over 40 years, and I've never mastered flesh. Now I have to hate you. On a serious note, I agree about the horns and claws. Too light, they just don't pop. And not to beat a dead horse, but, that sword...

Otherwise, great looking model.

Thanks, my way to paint flesh takes some work, but it is easy to learn. I use the paints: Humbrol 61 (flesh color), and artistic oils: burnt Siena and white. The first paint must be Humbrol, I tried different brands but this is the only one tested by me that doesn't get dissolved by the oil paint.

First, I paint the entire model with Humbrol 61 using airbrush, and let it dry for 24 hours. Then I paint the whole model with thin layer of burnt Siena, and wipe it with a soft hygienic tissues (or is it called handkerchief ? ). The artistic oils dry very slowly, so there is no need to hurry. The small details can be cleaned using cotton earbuds. After this stage paint is left in recesses on the model, just like wash but the translation between dark and light areas is more smooth. The final stage is white color - I add a small spots of white artistic oil on convex (sticking out) surfaces and then I smear the paint with large hard brush.

I hope you can understand it, because I had to use Google Translate a lot I'll make a short tutorial during painting my next model.

Well done!
