I love the paintjob you did on the Dragonborn. I feel like the Hero Forge online deisgner is way more advanced and has many more options than Eldritch Foundry.

I'm going to have to take a look at Eldritch Foundry. I discovered Heroforge last summer and designed and had them print a Seraphim from the german CRPG "Sacred". I used sticky-tack to secure it to the lid of a glass vitamin bottle and spent some time off and on painting it from July-December. I really started in on it in late November. Then how do I end the year on December 31st? I knock it off my desk. If the bottle had been lightweight plastic, I don't think thered've been a problem. But the bottle was so heavy it slammed the mini down hard and she snapped off at the ankles, and I later realized the head was gone off her staff. I eventually found that part as well and put it in the jar for safe keeping. I wrote to Heroforge and they responded quickly telling me what glues I should look into. I still haven't gotten around to the repair yet though. I thank you for your vid and will take a look at Eldritch Foundry. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep painting!!!!! *****UPDATE***** I've just taken a look at Eldritch Foundry (then came back to KZitem and discovered I never posted!). First of all what they have seems copied from Heroforge (their costumes, clothing pieces, weapons, etc.). The problem is that what I am seeing appears to be several months BEHIND Heroforge. In fact, I'd say it's at least a year behind, and they have very little content compared to Heroforge. I could not really find a helm, armor, nor leggings that I liked. And I saw nothing better for the weapon than a basic staff which I could work on with putty after printing. I was however able to crate a female figure with wings (I liked the wings more than those on Heroforge), the face seemed better, but the figure is nearly UNPOSABLE. I could not move the arms, so moving the arms up or down, or raising or lowering the weapon was impossible. I could also not move the legs. The weapon was GROSSLY THICK!!!! I found a LOT of problems with Eldritch Foundry. I will look at it again in the future, but right now I'm firmly in the Heroforge camp. This is just my two cents. And I am subscribing to you.

Thank you so much for the input! And yes hero forge does have quit the start on them as Eldritch is still very new. But I have high hopes that they will continue to grow and strongly feel they are on a great path for it. It's just going to take some time let alone funding I'm sure. Their own twists on things is intriguing. I love seeing what they come up with next. And dont get me wrong I enjoy hero forge as well. But I also know they have been around for some time. Non the less. I look eager to see what Eldritch Foundry will turn into if given the time. I truly do enjoy their style. I plan on doing some more of their minis down the road between free time and seeing what new features they add. (Such as more facial changes and such)

Oooh, I has a tip for you! I've printed alot of minis and one of the best things you can do is using warm/semi-hot water, after cleaning (before curing) let it soak for 30 seconds to a minute in the water and then you should get a much MUCH easier peel from the supports allowing little to no clean up afterwards

The comic style is super awesome! I may try this on an upcoming Riot Quest model. Seems like they'd be perfect for it and also having one of them in a random style is fine since they aren't part of an army. I'd actually love to see your style on a Riot Quest mini if you ever find yourself painting one. Really cool vid! Thanks for the comparison. I've never ordered from Eldritch foundry but can't argue with that clean finish. One trick that may or may not help with the nub cleanup with 3d Printing is before you put the model in the UV bath but after it takes the isopropyl rinse, soak it in really warm water from the tap for like... 40 seconds and pull off the supports then. I've found they come off a lot cleaner if I do that... most of the time. And then dry and UV bath after.

Have you considered going to the nearest MASSIVE gaming store near you and inquiring? If no one who works there is willing and able, they may be able to put you in touch with a customer who would talk to you about it, ESPECIALLY during this pandemic when a lot of people are getting back into the hobbies of their youth not just for fun, but to make an extra buck. Or they may do it for just a small fee that would more than cover their paint, and cost you not a lot more just so they could get the experience.

There are several people in many places that do a professional paint job. I believe Hero Forge also offers a painting service or they did before their hero forge 2.0 kickstarter. Like Charles Ballard, I would also suggest checking your local gaming/hobby shop. Even some of the smaller ones have customers who advertise there as well or are known to the shop staff.

I came across both companies after thinking of doing a resin diorama of my old lady and her families original characters from their campaigns as kids. Unfortunately its kind of a pain to get realistic actions poses on Hero Forge while its just down right miserable with Eldritch Foundry but from what ive seen both do incredible work. Neither do monsters like Dragons (so far as I've found) so its a bit of a bummer there. I started with Hero Forge with an Owl Hous inspired mini for my daughter to teach her her to paint. I'm just expecting good things from the quality but less so in teaching her to paint.

Hero Forge has made strides in its comic-exclusive look. The comic-like anatomy and features are present, but now, there are multitudes of ways to create a more realistic look. Hero Forge has many more printing options, including metals, and also has far more customization, in not only dozens upon dozens of species, but also clothes, proportions, anatomy, facial features, and poses.
@matthewscorner2990
Ай бұрын
So taking a look at them side by side, I'm more inclined to go with Hero Forge. They've been evolving more into the more detailed, optional stuff that elevates models beyond what they used to be. There are techniques to have more realistic proportions and Kitbashing will be coming out soon to elevate things even further. As for Eldritch Foundry, I've only just gotten a first impression, but I will say I'm not a big fan of the options for customizing faces and body features as well as the art style in general. It isn't really selling a more realistic vibe like I was expecting. Although, I will give Eldritch Foundry points over Hero Forge for 3 places. The dynamic weapons thing you showed looks awesome. Arm clothing doesn't thicken up ridiculously over upper garments like Hero Forge. And pants on models with animalistic legs go all the way down to the ankles rather than stopping just below the knees. I do with Hero Forge would do these types of things.

When you buy the STL file, (is that right?) to print, can you upscale them to be bigger? I’ve never used a 3D printer before, but i don’t see myself using these tabletop. I just want to paint a few figurines haha (but at a bigger scale, i think it’d be cool to have)

I'm going to assume you an upscale them with your selected program you run them through. I've not bought a stl from them yet just the whole mini. But I have gotten hero forge STL and that you can upscale. But I'm going to assume you can likely do the same with these as well. 🥰

It depends on the person. Do you mean for comic booking? If so, the thicker and less fine detail the better. It better cel shades and the line work dosent get as bunched up to much. It depends on the situation. But if you mean minis in general between the two companies I think it just varies from person to person.
