She’s looking really good, nice job 
Outstanding work!!!
So I’ve got a bunch of freelance work that I’ve been cranking on. Its some large 1/4 scale stuff (meaning the figures will be about 18 inches tall when complete). The client needs these done in wax. So I figured I’d skin several cats at the same time. I bought myself a cheap Airwolf filament extruder printer. So what I’m doing is sculpting in zbrush, dynameshing the final sculpt (a quick dirty way to create a single printable shell from several merged subtools.) Then decimating and exporting. Then I bring the stl in to Netfabb and scale it and fix bad edges and fill holes. From there I export the fixed stl to MatterControl. This is open source software used to slice up the the sculpt and create printable layers. From there it goes to the printer. Once the print is complete I make a silicone mold and cast it in wax. Because these printers are relatively low res the wax will need to be cleaned up. Which of course is where my traditional sculpting skills come in. It may seem like a slightly backwards way to work, but its actually a great of saving time in the end because implementing zbrush in the work flow allows me to cut my sculpting time in half. Especially when working on these huge sculptures. This particular piece is a print of my Daenerys head. Its was done as a trial. I was happy with the results. It’s about 90mm in height. I’m sure I can achieve better results by tweaking some things with the printer. these were the stock settings…
That looks amazing Ahren!

Fantastic job!
I want to play AC: Liberation (Have to finish “AC: Black Flag” first lol) - I didn’t know there was a figure in the works! Too cool 
Cheers,

BTW - Thanks so much for the tip about Matter Control!
What wax are you casting in Castilene or the Hasbro type? I know there are some printers that are able to output wax but I’m guessing its the blue jewelers wax which isn’t great for toy sculpting lol.
Looks awesome man!
Cheers,
Claudio
whats up people
