Oh yes, that will do nicely. I had better start selling my soul as it is pretty obvious yourself and Gringo are going to bankrupt me

I'll second that emotion

Thanks for the interest guys. I won't give a timeframe yet as I'll almost inevitably miss it if I set it in stone. But I'll post in this thread once it begins to crystallise.

Just writing this to give the topic a "bump". Any new developments?

Is this possible to have some pictures of the green in this topic !?

Hi all,

Sorry I missed these latest posts. To update you, there's been a (slight) change in direction on the project. Its still going ahead, but probably a different way. What was holding me back from progress was the fact that I was doing my regular commission work during the day, and hoping to work on the Ming in my spare time. Only thing is I don't have much spare time, usually I work weekends too, and the thought of spending the evening in the studio too after a full day's work was just not realistic.
So I had been looking at learning zbrush for digital sculpting to solve certain difficult sculpting tasks for the project (for instance mountain pattern scales) and it dawned on me that it might be better to do everything in zbrush, and get printed masters, or at least go forward with a hybrid of printing and hand sculpting. There is a lot of the workload that can be circumvented with digital design, but the main advantage is that I can go home in the evening and work on it on the computer, which is extremely freeing.
What this all boils down to is; one step back two steps forwards. I am having to learn zbrush from scratch but I am getting to grips with it, and it holds a lot of potential for the sculptor, I can see it as a necessary tool in the arsenal from now on.

Yes, I've been a follower of the Great Ming blog for a while, its excellent. Didn't know of the facebook group; thank you.
http://dragonsarmory.blogspot.co.uk/ is another interesting blog if you haven't seen it.

You're very welcome! And thank you. I think that Jack Huang may also be in that facebook group.

Is there anymore news?

matakishi · « **Reply #89 on:** August 23, 2018, 05:42:08 PM »

AS far as I'm concerned the news is good. The latest Atomico KS added a whole new set of Kung Fu miniatures and, because I asked, we got a swordsman, swordswoman and a eunuch in the set so I can continue with my Dragon Gate project
