Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I've never tried my hand at 3D stuff before, and this looked fun. Carved out of basswood.

Here's the tutorial I used if anyone else wants to get started.

From the thumbnail I got concerned that it was a grand wizard instead.

Oof, thanks for the warning. I was wondering if I should stain him, I think I will.

I keep thinking about getting into whittling, but I'm pretty sure I just want an excuse to get a cool knife. Hm, maybe that's okay. What knife do you use?

I'm not sure I'd recommend the set that I got; it was pretty cheap, but I wanted to try a bunch of styles like whittling and chip carving. I'll get good versions of what I like.

The guy in the tutorial I used recommended a 1.5 in (4 cm) bench knife.

You should definitely get into it though! It's a lot of fun so far. Get gloves for sure.

In the video you linked, he mentions Doug Linker's video on making a wood spirit, and I recommend going and watching that one too.

Here it is!

Paint the hat red and the beard white, and you’ve got the great wizard of the north.
