Custom D&D minis

My eldest recently started playing D&D, and I asked the DM whether the group of players would like custom minis for each of their characters. They happily agreed, and we sent some emails back and forth to discuss each player's character, their appearance, race, class, significant details, etc.

Then I got to sculpting. This was heaps of fun, and quite challenging, since I was not sculpting something that I came up with, but rather working with constraints and ideas that someone else provided. I used a traditional mix of greenstuff and polymer clay. The figures are primed, ready for painting.

From left to right we have a Tiefling artificer, a Tabaxi barbarian, an Owlin and a Tiefling/Satyr druid.

The smallest character is about 4ft tall in-game, and the tallest character is about 7ft tall. So I also tried to keep the figures in proportion to each other. This was tricky, since the Owlin figure came out at around 21mm at eye-level, and I had to cram a lot of detail in there.
