This is my friend's character for a campaign that we are in. He used AI to create the general look of his character, then designed a mini based on the outcome. I printed it out for him and used the AI image as a color reference.

Here are a few other angles:

Smitty side

And here is the AI generated image that the mini is based off of:

No worries, you've earned it! I'm happy to chat painting techniques & printing, if that's of interest. I teach local free workshops on both for all skill levels & ages, and I'd be happy to cool links, wax philosophical on OG tricks, etc. Oh, and the model seems to've been printed from a much smaller original sculpt, if the highlighted facets in the pic are any clue. I'm curious where it came from, academically. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ

I honestly don't know where the mini came from. Like I said, I assume my friend used a website like TitanCraft or hero forge or similar to make him. As far as scaling, he may have bumped him up in size a little given his giant heritage, but the model is of "mini" scale (maybe 1.5 inches tall), so I can't imagine it was increased by much. Could be printing artifacts?

Fair point, yep. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ
