Female Gnome Druid Miniature

thingiverse

I created a Female Gnome Druid for my Pathfinder campaign, but couldn't find a miniature that matched my vision, so I made one myself based on what I imagined her to look like. I got carried away with the mesh resolution in some areas, resulting in large file sizes - sorry about that. Initially, this was designed solely for rendering and not intended for printing. However, I added an intermediate version of it to the slideshow above (the last image), which I later modified and adapted into a printable, manifold mesh. The body was created using _makehuman_, while the cloth and hair were added in _blender_ before joining them together as one mesh. You can find the image that inspired my design by searching for "Hylia's armor" on Google. I've uploaded the blender file for those who are curious, which was created with Blender 2.8 beta. Unfortunately, the file size is unusually large due to the high resolution of certain parts, particularly the base - it looks great though! The meshes are manifold according to Blender, and Cura had no issues slicing them in various scales. However, Slic3r Prusa edition seems to have problems with the shoulders, which I couldn't fix - you might need to scale it slightly to get around this issue. The images above were taken from a printed version that's 3x larger than the original and painted to match the rendered look. The model was printed in two parts (split at the hips right under the hair) to minimize support material usage. I also printed a smaller version of the model, which worked well with one piece using the print settings shown in the print settings section - you can see this small version in the second-to-last image. Unfortunately, the fingers are too small, so I added a simplified hand version.
