Andrew Martin is a freelance digital sculptor who created the popular 3-D model of Pot Boy. The model can be found on ArtStation. “Pot Boi – Dice Vault” is posed to stand upright, and has a removable lid — so you can store little treasures in it.

Martin fell in love with the Pot Boys, just like so many other people. Elden Ring trailer. “I am a huge fan of FromSoftware games and I, like many others, immediately fell in love with the Pot Boy when I saw the first Elden Ring trailer,” Martin told Polygon, via email.

His first step was to design the 3D models. It took between eight and ten hours. “The biggest challenge was there were only two (fairly blurry) reference images available of the Pot Boy back when I sculpted the model,” Martin said. “For my original lid design, I only had the faintest sliver of an image to work from and had to make a best guess what was on it. I was pleasantly surprised by how close my design was to the actual game model!” Since the game has been released, Martin has re-sculpted the lid to “more closely match the game model.”

Martin first began to sculpt in 2005. He then switched to digital work just a few years back. Martin’s extensive portfolio contains everything you need. Squid GameFans art Dark Souls The Board Game miniatures.

The Pot Boy model has been loved by fans who have begun to print and paint miniatures 3D. Cosplayer Nissa created the miniatures on her Elegoo Saturn, and then brought them to life using meticulous painting.

She used a “black spray primer” for the base and “followed that up with airbrushing a dark anthracite color on top of it,” Nissa told Polygon, over Twitter DM. For the lighter shades, she “used a piece of felt, applied color to it sparingly and dabbed it onto the minis carefully, that way the darker base colors were still visible in all the spots where dirt and shadows would sit in reality.” She finished it off using a smaller brush to add “dirt and details,” before “airbrush[ing] some matte lacquer.”

Nissa first encountered the Pot Boy 3D model while working on the Red Bull Levels Elden Ring event. In the beginning, Nissa was asked by event organizers to make a meter-tall Pot Boy for their set, which she created with a mix of builder’s materials. Organizers then asked if she could make décor for their talent dinner, which led her to finding Martin’s 3D model. Since then, she has made several more for friends and herself.

Others responded to Nissa’s Tweet, sharing their own versions of the 3D Pot Boy, like this one, climbing out of the ground.

“It brings me great joy seeing people’s paint-ups and builds of my models,” Martin said. “I am not a great miniature painter, so I am been blown away by what some of the other artists are able to achieve. Especially when they go beyond by adding scenery and base details that really make the model sing!”
