Great Wise Owl 20mm, 25mm and 200mm + Low Poly (DND / TTRPG)

I keep seeing animal figures at the top of the model sites especially low poly ones so here is an owl. I took the base model from the AI and had to fix the usual (ultra thin faces like the beak, ears, chin and weird symmetry issues), I set -X/X symmetry to fix some jank on the one side and then I went to town sculpting with the draw and crease tools until it started to look terrible and then I drew some more. I'm not an artist so the feathers are lines and little Vs something I drew upside down Λs - I usually use a UV sphere and try to make eyelids but I'm aiming for the popular style.

I made several scales here at 32mm tall (25mm baseplate) and 25mm tall (20mm baseplate) and a 200mm tall variant. This could be scaled up further as an ornament to scare birds away. The pupils are hollow as well so you could add a reflective little gem in there to strike extra fear into the tiny hearts of pigeons.

I added some low poly variants by using the decimate modifier. Idk which I like best but V2 definitely fits the bill of a "low poly" model. These are both at 200mm which would take an exceptionally long time to print but since they're low poly they shouldn't need a lot of supports. I've scaled v2 down to 60mm in height and that will be the one I do my test print on - if I like it I might go for the larger version but I really like the birds around here so idk.

That's all for now. Thanks for following along :)

I'm on a quest to make 1000 free DND/TTRPG miniatures. See my other models and progress on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Adamnant
