^. .^ I'm a female 3D modeler and I'm starting to make male anime figures but no nsfw ones yet. I like watching your videos to know what perfectionist painters look for in printed kits.
I'm pretty sure CA 3D STUDIOS does some male NSFW stuff. It's odd that you basically have to produce NSFW versions if you want to sell STL's. EDIT: the urethane resin you used turned cloudy, bubbled, and expanded like that because of humidity in the bottle. If you can keep any previously opened bottles in a ziplock bag with a few of those little desiccant bags, it'll help tremendously.
Another thing to add to ziplocking the bottles with desiccant bags is canned air, a puff of it to displace any humid air out before closing the bottle extends the shelf life and keep humidity away. Some of the resin providers sell their own branded canned air, but chemically is just basically the same sold for cleaning electronics that can be bought for cheap. And as noted on the video Part A the yellow bottle which is the Isocyanate part which is usually yellowish to amber color liquid is the one that turns cloudy and sometimes crystalizes when it absorbs humidity, Part B the Poliol also absorbs humidity but not show visual signs.
people might see your argument on men designing lewd figures as reductive, but I legitimately think you're right. I gravitate heavily towards lewd art by women because there's a distinctly different quality to how things are depicted that feels less... icky? Like how lesbian art by lesbians is going to hit better than lesbian art by 50 year old cis dudes. You can apply this to just about any in-group / out-group art niche and I don't think its BAD!!!
I think what you're referring to is that female artists depict erotic and sexual works (when talking about art) is that we do it in a more tasteful way and less grotesque as most male artist tend to make them, they make those works for them while we do works for us
I'm male so I like both. The more the better. Biggest issue I found is designers create a really good 3d figure but then when turning into printable parts they completely bork that part and have some really interesting places for joins and don't really think of how well the part will print.
@@Decantawoman here. And I like both. Lewd and the erotic/sensual. There can’t really be an argument on what’s made for who as everyone is a different person with different preferences. Art is subjective. There’s also a time and place for one or the other. The more “lewd” ones are more reserved for certain people in my life vs the more sensual ones. I’ve got nude models all over my workshop lol. Only thing is not a huge fan of is bigger breasts as looking at them just make my back hurt 😂 but then again I don’t mind the ones with big bottoms so idk what that says about me 😂😂 my favorite artist right now is Digital Dark Pinups. (I’m assuming DD is male but I honestly don’t know) but they actually do polls for smaller or bigger body sizes/parts. Also has a range for each model ranging from sfw to extremely nfsw. I do agree though I wish there were more male characters being made. For some reason a lot of people have an obsession with putting…ahem..shlongs on female characters and I really don’t get it but to each their own.
@@Kuriatishonestly I’ve found is not so much an issue printing but more an issue with painting as Leona ranted about in the Jinx video (I think it was). They don’t separate them so they’re easier to paint.
Stop teasing the poor Orange kitty! Orange cats already have to take turns with the one collective brain cell allotted to breed, if they needed one of yours they probably had a good reason. 😹 The figure looks great and substituting the book for the railing was an excellent idea, you would never know that the book wasn't originally part of the figure. It's also ok to have a "noob" mistake every now and then, it helps us remember that not everything will go according to plan and that we need to listen to ourselves when something feels off.
Our resin Queen so real she shows you even she's not immune to mishaps from time to time. Thank you for sharing your process Leona, since you gave us Cat tax it's my due diligence to give comment tax as well. Keep up the good work!
"I would go FERAL for a Netflix-style series-accurate Alucard in a not-safe-for-work version." YES YES YES. I usually love me some hot dark-haired guys, but Netflix Alucard, OH MY GOD...
She looks beautiful! Having to fill up the hollow model kind of takes you back to the days of vinyl models. I have an FDM 3D printer, so I'm not sure how it'll be painting those.
The frustration during some parts of the project was palpable, but Komi turned out beautifully. I think it's important to show that not every project goes smoothly, and that's okay. It's how we learn and grow. Excellent work!🐱 Also, big agree on husbando figures for the female gaze.
Komi came out so cool/cute! 🐈🐈🐈 Moonlight Jewel also uses the Saturn 3 printer and she uses hot water to help remove the print supports and apparently it helps reduce the imperfections/marks/damages on her prints, have you tried it?
Hello Queen, please don't forget about the gays, we want to see the dongs as well, not only the females. 😂❤ I'm pretty sure because you are a Sailor Moon fan. You should have quite a few gays around here as well. 🥰
Oh don't worry, she doesn't forget. I make VERY sure she remembers that us gays like seeing a guy with it sticking out of his fly pointing straaaaaaight up to the sky!! ....at every chance possible.
Loved being a part of the premier and reading the live chat. Love learning from more experienced artists! Bulky bases have their place, if they add something to the piece, but I agree with you that 3D modelling artists could add a basic base file for GK artists who want to print the figure. My personal opinion is that large clunky bases take away from the figure more than they add. The figure should be able to literally stand on it's own, and that's a sign (for me at least) of a talented 3D modelling artist.
I mean, there are hundreds of kits that don't stand on their own without a base, but it doesn't matter because once you pin it to one, it stays upright, it's not something complicated to achieve 😁
You might be a victim of when her channel was hacked several months ago and it was changed to a scam channel. A lot of people saw it on their feed and unsubscribed before she could get it back and change everything back again. The name got changed so nobody knew it was her when they unsubscribed, it just looked like TH-cam had subscribed them to something shady without their knowledge.
I know this is old video but. I understand why you complain about the Unneessary base. But I don’t understand why you feel forced to print it out. Because I don’t do it when I don’t need it. And the files always come separated like you can select what to print. And other think the artist will do what they want same way like you. And don’t take it wrong. You do an amazing job I like it. But you being to complaining in this video. Lol
I was gonna bring up “oh there’s nsfw figures of men!” But then I realised that it’s all gay men that is a whole other can of worms and yeah it’s as bad as it sounds
I have learned so much from you and your Videos. I still lack a lot of skills but i end up rewatching your Videos when i lost or need help with an idea, so TY place keep this up, When are we getting another story time with Leona? I know that it was Hard and Rough for the last one. I hope it helped you heal a little, talking about it. HUG and PLS keep it up and also showing us your mistakes.
Like I don't mind sexy female figurines ok I too can appreciate the female figure. I just get tired of everything needing to be sexualized cause sometimes I'm like this could have been a beautiful kit if you made the sexy less in your face like sometimes more subtle is hotter. And the inequality I know they are making more sexualized male kits, but we're still very lacking in that department. Lol
Yeah, smooth-on resin is great when it works well, but after you open a container, it has a limited shelf-life of a couple months, tops. The hardener wants to cure on its own, once it's exposed to air. I think I heard from a smooth-on rep. that it's moisture in the air that can cause that bubbling when mixed. I love how the kit came out otherwise though!
Thanks for this video. I have never worked with traditional resin kits, but I love my 3d prints particularly cause I can resize and print as many as I like! I've been trying to get the Mr. Polisher Pro for some time and it is never in stock. It is now and I snapped it up lol.
Yea, resin printing is hella tedious.. Different expose times on different resins, over-exposure can lead to some pieces expanding slightly etc etc! I think I would print a figure solid just to avoid the hassle of mixing epoxy resin... Lose money on UV resin might save some sanity, which is priceless! The notebook was a brilliant save! I have a bought Serial Experiments Lain figure that stands on some stairs and has a wall, that really adds to the figure, for Komi, it seems a bit much, especially such thick parts! I hope to make 3D prints in the future, so I'm taking mental notes on what to do. ;D The lined skirt turned out so well, and her hair is just gorgeous!
Always loved your work and dedicated details and work you put into every garage model kit! As a gay guy myself, I wouldn't mind seeing more if the male model kits with extra love 🤭
Love your videos, as always. I'm not really into the ns/fw art myself, but I wholeheartedly agree that the 3D modeling sphere in particular needs to have the playing field leveled. I highly encourage fellow females and ladies who are interested in 3D modeling to give it a try! (not solely ns/fw, but 3D character modeling in general, tbqh)
Love your videos, been watching a few years now. Just a heads up, something that's come to my attention recently, is that the carbon filters only kill the smell, not the harmful particles. Just make sure you've got some good ventilation! You're not gonna die from infrequent use, but it's certainly something that can cause health problems down the line. I used to print in my back room that didn't have windows and just used air filters and a lot of videos have come across my youtube lately pointing out, even that's not super effective.
I'm aware of the fumes, unfortunately I don't have any space in my house for the printers except in a small closet but I rarely use the printers except for the videos like these, still the house has good ventilation when the closet is open
@@leonasworkshop Glad to hear, I'm in a similar situation and am wrestling with cutting a vent into the dry wall to pipe out of the house proper through the garage. I was just surprised when I found out that the lack of smell didn't really mean much.
I fucking love your videos. In fact, I learned a lot thanks to your old painting videos. They are extremely good for beginners, for which I express my sincere gratitude to you. However, regarding 3D printing, as a person engaged in supporting models on a commercial basis, as well as as an artist working mainly with printed models, I would like to say that you made a lot of mistakes based on your experience with GK. I won't list them all, because you probably don't want to read another comment with a haight, so I'll just give one piece of advice. Stop transferring the GK experience to 3D printing. These are different things, although they are similar. The way 3d models are made for printing differs from GK due to the technological process. The same bases are made like that because they can be like that. There are no bases in GK just for the sake of economy, and not to give you the opportunity to come up with something of your own. The print community is a friendly and professional society. Just go to almost any major discord channel and ask for advice, help or an answer. We will help you with pleasure, as we help hundreds and thousands of newcomers. If you don't feel confident in 3D printing, there is nothing shameful to ask for help from experienced people. I hope next time you will not have similar problems with 3D printing, and if you do, we will always be happy to help you.
I think the reason for the difference is that NSFW female figures by men is for the male gaze, but NSFW female figures for women is for the female gaze.
Always looking forward to your videos! I've recently picked up kit painting myself, and have learned a lot from you!🐱p.s. even though I've been discovering some things I should have been doing differently already halfway through the kit... oh well :)
Nice work! But... I hope like many others take into consideration.... Please, please, please use a proper respirator if you are sanding any form of resin, breathing that in is never good, for anyone as it can lead to serious respiratory issues later in life. 🙏🏼
@@leonasworkshop - Been looking to get into 3D printing and have been watching a number of channels now and barely anyone mentions anything about it, sure they say to cover up when handling liquid resin but never with cured resin when sanding.. Apologies if you took it the wrong way, just raising awareness for the less in the know. As even just the vapors can lead to complications such as asthma and dermatitis. Even when cured, if sanded the particulates can sit in your lungs forever and cause health issues.
Haven't really stopped to look at the release date on the videos I've watched, I just know that the first one I watched (Jinx from arcane/ league of legends) and in this one you point out your inability to watch other figure painters because they never clean up their prints before painting. If you haven't heard of him, you need to look up groundeffected. He is a 3d printing model painter, mostly works with comic based figures and very rarely does any anime stuff. But Holy crap i haven't seen a single model from him that I didn't think was easily $200-$300+ quality, and he said he's only been in this hobby since 2020
Hi !! I love love love your videos, as a comment after I saw the putty video, I asked a friend to bring me some of the Tamiya Plyester Putty from Japan as he was going to be there, and the Japan PSA removed the putty from his drop luggage, he even got warned at the store when he bought it by the cashier (he was like "no airplane no airplane"). I still think it might be the Japanese PSA and I am going to try and buy it in the US and bring it back (I am from Argentina), but wanted to share my experience !
first time in your channel. Amazing work by the way :). Maybe something you have awnser many times, but what kind of putty are you using? that stuff looks amazing to work with
Knowledge is not religated to men only. Women have skills and eye for intricate details. My wife was the one of the most talented people I have ever know. Well done young lady, well done
😻 she turned out beautifully! I agree with the base thing. An alternate version without it really is better then having to print a massive blog that also takes off lots of shelf space. I also love customising my own base for the figures I make.
Gotta say the only thing I've improved on over time printing is never trusting the supports I just put on one section first and to never let myself touch the prints with gloves covered in resin still. I use water washable resin and will try to actually wash my hands with the gloves still on in the sink to not throw away gloves unnecessarily so I leave no residue on the surface once I think I'm done because paint will stick to it easily but it won't stick to the rest of the resin for long and WILL come off with masking tape. Also, if I'm going to be supporting a leg for example and I print it vertically I will go back downwards and add extra supports to non-visible sections after the shoe for example because other than one single time where I'd just messed up the print bed with a scraper and nothing could stick to it anymore every single print failure (of many) I have ever had I can look back at the file for and can see that it would fail and why it would so until you have that kind of confidence in your knowledge do not let any failures happen and sort it out later with sanding. Also also, any time pieces don't align for me has been because of too few supports on joining sections where the pieces sorta shift around and mess up in any place supports aren't which can normally again just be fixed with sanding but not always.
I'm a bit further into the video and I sympathise with the base situation some pieces of my earliest print I ever attempted just broke in half because I hollowed it out and didn't properly clean out the resin before I tried just directly gluing pieces together (sealing them shut (And I never do this now (Don't yell at me))) and the resin still inside expanded and broke both the hair and head apart when they were some of the only pieces I tried to print. At this point if I can't for sure put a hole at both the top and bottom of the piece so air can enter and resin can leave or I can't make a hole ridiculously large I might just leave the piece entirely full. Also helps with my point I made in the original comment where wet resin will cure on the surface of the piece partway in indirect sunlight so will flake off with masking tape because 1.5mm holes absolutely everywhere on my first few prints would still leak resin if I hadn't washed out some resin to make space to expand into then sealed them shut. If you can only put a hole on one end like a hollow leg that doesn't lead to the foot because it thins out partway then probably don't bother to make it hollow at all or at least be prepared to seal up a massive hole where you can't ordinarily see it.
I apologise for just whatever all this was I just got a single great result and am quite proud of it, the final pieces have been printing for 5 and a half hours so far and a print bed I did recently had more failures than successes and I like to think I have learned from it (ie stopped being lazy adding supports when I was basically done with a piece)
I also hate layer lines, that’s the main reason I’m jumping into resin printing. I have my fdm printer dialed in and can get really good detail but no matter what layer lines are inevitable. I spend hrs upon hrs sanding to get it as smooth as possible. There is no “charm” having layer lines for me. Just means laziness in my eyes.
Hi, I can suggest you to print bases and stands on filament, it’s cheaper and it doesn’t need so much detail, and I think most men create NSFW models is to sell and make fan service, but agree they can make male models for women too
if there was a guide about designing and modeling better garage kits, I'd read it but if there's one then it's buried beneath all the assembly and painting guides, so all my knowledge comes from trial and error and looking at how others do it
Leona just flexing perfectionism making french manicure on those tiny fingers. I don't think i'll ever get into this art however I do enjoy watching all the making and tools and of course Leona hosting is fairly entertaining!
What's also disgusting when they make these nsfw figures of characters from anime who are underage... Japan has some real problems when it comes to that... very gross. Edit: The brand of printer is pronounced EL-A-Goo.
i wanna 3d print a honkai figure bc my dad got a second 3d printer. it's better bc it's bigger than the old one he has. just need to understand how to sand the hard to reach and delicate places. :D this video looks very helpful.. hopefully my projects turn out well. bc i want anime merch, but i dont have anime merch money lmao. plus, i like doing little projects.
Ooh you don't need 8k or 12k resins for a 12k printer. That is just a marketing gimmick. If your resin is too brittle, you can go for a tougher resins. Some are very flexible but they cost a bit more.
i've watched this video three times now [on different occasions lol] and i am a resin artist first and foremost, pouring resin is like bread and butter for me, and while i do think the age/expiry of your resin is the culprit for your issues i do know that most regular resin is not suited to "deep pours", it typically gets too hot while curing and will...bubble and expand 👀if you have issues again maybe try pouring in 1 inch layers or find a resin specifically designed for deep pouring. There are a lot of resins of this type out there but if you don't know that they exist they're very easily overlooked. I would say keep an eye on your actual resin age and pour in shallower layers or find a good deep pour resin you like [they tend to be a lot more runny than typical resin, which can be handy tbh] anyway, love you and your videos, i'm currently working on my first figure bc of you and rolling around in my inexperience lol
I remember seeing the thumbnail and being like, “ooh… that’s… quite the choice for a base.” While I share your grievance about wasting a bunch of time and resources on something that didn’t work out in the end, I think it worked out for the better. Bulky and weird-looking bases seem to be a problem with figures in general, both garage kits and pre-painted. I’m subscribed to a figure-reviewer and some of the figures in her collection look absolutely beautiful… only to have a horrendous base. It’s just so sad.
just fiy, i shave my neck nowadays and my mom died so technically it's my basement, not my moms. About the big bases, what about printing those in fdm ?
There is a support removal trick. Placed a cleaned part off the printer in a bowl with boiling hot water for 30 seconds to a minute and the supports will fall off (this reduces the nubs left on the model). Then let the part cool and air dry, then UV cure it.
see, I can completely understand the view point, but I do have an honest question, whilst I don't do a lot of nsfw stuff, the vast majority of any nsfw stuff that I do is sort of designed by my sister to a certain extent, by this I mean, she gives me her ideas for what she thinks folks will like, and then I draw or model it, and then I send it to her for feedback, to see what needs to change... (believe it or not her most common criticism is that it's not nsfw enough, idk I think her mind is kinda fuck, but whatever, this ain't what I'm trying to get at). I suppose my question is this: What do you think of stuff that is co-designed by a guy and a gal, and then drawn by a guy, if yk what I mean?
This video is incredible. I do some resin prints myself, but I only do stuff like printing helmets & weapons for customizing action figures. I can't do stuff like this on my tiny Elegoo Mars 2 Pro unless I scale everything WAY down and making painting things that much harder. But figuring out a problem is a part of the process in my eyes. 🐱
Personally I’d use an fdm printer for that clunky base. No hassle and I don’t have a resin printer. It’s fun to meticulously paint organic supports and still clean up y’know
I’ve been printing and painting 3d prints for around two years now and the bases that some of the figures come with have been a pain for me. Some are really cool looking but they add on so many hours of work. I would much rather have just the figure plus some of the bases are so big that I’m running out of room on my shelf. I really enjoy painting Pinkstudios figures because you get so many choices of faces and sometimes multiple outfits.
Le mostré tus vídeos a mi esposo y el no podía creer que originalmente hablas español, dice que tienes excelente inglés y acento prácticamente imperceptible ❤❤
Uff, ese Alucard le encantaría a mi esposita. Eres bien chida, me está sirviendo mucho tu contenido. Más husbandos nsfw para todxs lxs que los quieraaaaan.
Different resins have different shrink rates. I use Siraya and Sunlu resins. The Siraya Fast Navy Gray shrinks around 1% while Sunlu's Standard of any color shrinks 1.5-2%, par of the course for almost any other brand's standard resin. The most dimensionally stable I've used is Sunlu's ABS or Nylon ones which only shrink 0.2-0.3%. Even Smooth-On's Polyurethane casting resin, in my case I use their smooth-cast 305 and 321 shrink 0.2%. That 0.2% is pretty negligible but the 1-2% from standard resins is noticeable. And different shrink rates from different resins can cause the fit issues like you encountered.
And speaking of splitting models, I really, really, really F!@$%$ HATE those 3d sculptors that split/cut the head at the jaw line leaving a separate head and neck, and what's worse some even thicken or push out the edge of the neck join which leave a very awkward mushroom like join and requires more filling and sanding to leave a smooth transition. And I'm on the same camp as Leona, figures don't F#%$ng need huge artistic bases. I don't want to spend 100-500gr of resin on my figure and 1-5kg on the base! Even filling a hollow base with polyurethane resin and even adding filler to it feel like I'm throwing money away. I only know less than a handful of artists that knowingly provide a cut down version of their big bases, but in my opinion that's the best compromise if the artist insist on big artistic bases.
As someone who plans on buying a 3D printer set to make their own kits, having a vid like this is going to be useful for me. Granted I have to wait until the move to Portugal finalizes and wait for the house to be built (and that's gonna be a while) but at least I can use the time to learn Blender. Also, as a plastic model builder and kitbasher, I prefer simpler bases and vignettes so that logic will be transferred to my 3D sculpts.
The reason why most people don't show the prepping and priming of 3d printed models is because we use filler primer to even out the surfaces. Also there is this cool stuff called incredifil that monocure make it's a UV resin filler putty 😺
Lol, she's roasting men right away. Not all men are that way. I am a guy and I came here to learn. Don't feel bad about resin printing. Its a pain. Im an engineer and my first resin printer took me two weeks to produce a completed print. It was a nightmare to be honest. Again sorry to hear you feel so strongly about men and male creators.
Long Time. I use to message you back before the pandemic. Nice to see you are still going. And like the 3d printing. I was 3d printing, to help out doing pandemic. And ended up not having time to watch your kids. I see you have gotten AWESOME . You are AMAZING. Love you work. Keep it up
There's actually a few online stores getting popular for selling lewd male character figurines, unfortunately I don't remember the name of this businesses and I'm not fully sure if the figurines are made by women, or even if they're 3D printed. But by I could tell based on the pictures I've seen of Facebook they seem in really good quality. There's one that I really want to get, it's one where Goku and Vegetta are sitting in a sofa playing a video game and some figurines that seem made like made into Bara style. I just wonder, how long is it gonna take for furries to get into 3D modeling. I wouldn't mind to buy an Amicus figurine, lol.
It would’ve been nice if you explained why pinning won’t work on hollowed prints (as dumb as it sounds). Do you think there’s a way you can just putty that part and place the pin within the putty and maybe secure it with super glue or any workaround like that? I would hate to fill all the pieces with regular epoxy
Because the pin would just fall into the parts, I though that was implied. If you drill a hole into something hollow and try to insert a pin, there's nothing for it to pin to 🤨
@@leonasworkshop yeah, it is pretty obvious it will fall into the piece, what I was asking is if is there a way to use the putty to make a surface thick enough to support the pin before drilling too deep for it to fall, don’t know if the putty hardens enough to do that, or maybe partially hollowing the piece to have a solid part in the connections to drill into, could that work?
I will put a disclaimer that I haven't used these things on resin, but that doesn't mean that they won't work. You may need a practice piece for testing, but any leftover detail piece, like a failed hair print, would be fine for it. So. In regards to sanding the hair I have some recommendations that might help. 3M makes these almost paper thin abrasive brisle rotary tool attachments. They come in various diameters and grits. You stack them 3 wide, or perhaps 5 wide, on a spindle with little spacers of course. You can combine different diameters and grits to either make a flat buff, or a knife edge buff, or a concave buff, whatever! It's a bit expensive for the base kit with all of the various grits and diameters, but the nice part is that once you figure out what your favorites are then you can order those ones specifically, or if you want to try one or two before committing to a set, try that! The grits are also color coded which is helpful for online ordering (I never 100% trust that a listing is flawless, because we're humans). I used them for precious metals, so I can't tell you the perfect grits for resin sanding, or if they'll even work, and I'm sorry. I also worked with flat and knife edge wheels made from abrasive impregnated rubber, but I purchased these on a jewelry supply site. Those, particularly the knife edge ones, wear down pretty quick, at least on metals which obviously take more pressure to polish, so your results may vary. There are also mini rotary felt buffs in disc, cylinder, bullet, and cone shapes which can be used alone or with a buffing compound. I got a big 50 pk on Amazon for a couple bucks like 15 yrs ago and still have most of them in the box somewhere. (The past decade I haven't used them, but the point is that they're cheap and plentiful). I don't know if you've heard of these, tried these, hate these, or even if they would work or fail, but I thought it would be worth mentioning in case they could make sanding those ridiculous detail pieces like hair or flowing fabric, easier, faster, and/or less frustrating. I bow to you my resin queen. I am not worthy. 🙇🏼♀️👸

^. .^ I'm a female 3D modeler and I'm starting to make male anime figures but no nsfw ones yet. I like watching your videos to know what perfectionist painters look for in printed kits.
What about now? What fellas have you done if I may ask for research purposes
I'm pretty sure CA 3D STUDIOS does some male NSFW stuff. It's odd that you basically have to produce NSFW versions if you want to sell STL's.
EDIT: the urethane resin you used turned cloudy, bubbled, and expanded like that because of humidity in the bottle. If you can keep any previously opened bottles in a ziplock bag with a few of those little desiccant bags, it'll help tremendously.
Another thing to add to ziplocking the bottles with desiccant bags is canned air, a puff of it to displace any humid air out before closing the bottle extends the shelf life and keep humidity away. Some of the resin providers sell their own branded canned air, but chemically is just basically the same sold for cleaning electronics that can be bought for cheap. And as noted on the video Part A the yellow bottle which is the Isocyanate part which is usually yellowish to amber color liquid is the one that turns cloudy and sometimes crystalizes when it absorbs humidity, Part B the Poliol also absorbs humidity but not show visual signs.
people might see your argument on men designing lewd figures as reductive, but I legitimately think you're right. I gravitate heavily towards lewd art by women because there's a distinctly different quality to how things are depicted that feels less... icky? Like how lesbian art by lesbians is going to hit better than lesbian art by 50 year old cis dudes. You can apply this to just about any in-group / out-group art niche and I don't think its BAD!!!
I think what you're referring to is that female artists depict erotic and sexual works (when talking about art) is that we do it in a more tasteful way and less grotesque as most male artist tend to make them, they make those works for them while we do works for us
yeah, thats a good point. when men make the lewd art, their audience is not us, its other men.
I'm male so I like both.
The more the better.
Biggest issue I found is designers create a really good 3d figure but then when turning into printable parts they completely bork that part and have some really interesting places for joins and don't really think of how well the part will print.
@@Decantawoman here. And I like both. Lewd and the erotic/sensual. There can’t really be an argument on what’s made for who as everyone is a different person with different preferences. Art is subjective. There’s also a time and place for one or the other. The more “lewd” ones are more reserved for certain people in my life vs the more sensual ones. I’ve got nude models all over my workshop lol. Only thing is not a huge fan of is bigger breasts as looking at them just make my back hurt 😂 but then again I don’t mind the ones with big bottoms so idk what that says about me 😂😂 my favorite artist right now is Digital Dark Pinups. (I’m assuming DD is male but I honestly don’t know) but they actually do polls for smaller or bigger body sizes/parts. Also has a range for each model ranging from sfw to extremely nfsw.
I do agree though I wish there were more male characters being made. For some reason a lot of people have an obsession with putting…ahem..shlongs on female characters and I really don’t get it but to each their own.
@@Kuriatishonestly I’ve found is not so much an issue printing but more an issue with painting as Leona ranted about in the Jinx video (I think it was). They don’t separate them so they’re easier to paint.
Stop teasing the poor Orange kitty! Orange cats already have to take turns with the one collective brain cell allotted to breed, if they needed one of yours they probably had a good reason. 😹 The figure looks great and substituting the book for the railing was an excellent idea, you would never know that the book wasn't originally part of the figure. It's also ok to have a "noob" mistake every now and then, it helps us remember that not everything will go according to plan and that we need to listen to ourselves when something feels off.
Alucard NSFW model? If it exists, yes please!!!! Great choice!
Our resin Queen so real she shows you even she's not immune to mishaps from time to time. Thank you for sharing your process Leona, since you gave us Cat tax it's my due diligence to give comment tax as well. Keep up the good work!
"I would go FERAL for a Netflix-style series-accurate Alucard in a not-safe-for-work version." YES YES YES. I usually love me some hot dark-haired guys, but Netflix Alucard, OH MY GOD...
Amen to that!!
I second!
I love that you use your platform to encourage females working in this art. You are a role model!!
She looks beautiful! Having to fill up the hollow model kind of takes you back to the days of vinyl models. I have an FDM 3D printer, so I'm not sure how it'll be painting those.
The frustration during some parts of the project was palpable, but Komi turned out beautifully. I think it's important to show that not every project goes smoothly, and that's okay. It's how we learn and grow. Excellent work!🐱
Also, big agree on husbando figures for the female gaze.
Komi came out so cool/cute! 🐈🐈🐈
Moonlight Jewel also uses the Saturn 3 printer and she uses hot water to help remove the print supports and apparently it helps reduce the imperfections/marks/damages on her prints, have you tried it?
Hello Queen, please don't forget about the gays, we want to see the dongs as well, not only the females. 😂❤
I'm pretty sure because you are a Sailor Moon fan. You should have quite a few gays around here as well. 🥰
Oh don't worry, she doesn't forget. I make VERY sure she remembers that us gays like seeing a guy with it sticking out of his fly pointing straaaaaaight up to the sky!! ....at every chance possible.
All hail the forbidden mustard.
but for real, I appreciate that you show your fumbles. It makes me feel better about making mistakes on my pieces
Another comment on a 2 week old video: You make me want to get better at 3d modeling. One day, I will sculpt something lewd for you. You are my muse.
Loved being a part of the premier and reading the live chat. Love learning from more experienced artists!
Bulky bases have their place, if they add something to the piece, but I agree with you that 3D modelling artists could add a basic base file for GK artists who want to print the figure. My personal opinion is that large clunky bases take away from the figure more than they add. The figure should be able to literally stand on it's own, and that's a sign (for me at least) of a talented 3D modelling artist.
I mean, there are hundreds of kits that don't stand on their own without a base, but it doesn't matter because once you pin it to one, it stays upright, it's not something complicated to achieve 😁
PLEASE, we NEED some NSFW male figures painted by the resin Kween 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥺
shlongs & abs!! im gonna start saying that lolol I never get tired of seeing you draw/paint the anime eyes *_*
TH-cam randomly unsubscribed me from your channel. I happened to search you up today and noticed. Resubbed.
You might be a victim of when her channel was hacked several months ago and it was changed to a scam channel. A lot of people saw it on their feed and unsubscribed before she could get it back and change everything back again.
The name got changed so nobody knew it was her when they unsubscribed, it just looked like TH-cam had subscribed them to something shady without their knowledge.
I love how much *time* and work you put into your kits and the end results are always *amazing*. Lots of respect for you.
I know this is old video but. I understand why you complain about the Unneessary base. But I don’t understand why you feel forced to print it out. Because I don’t do it when I don’t need it. And the files always come separated like you can select what to print.
And other think the artist will do what they want same way like you.
And don’t take it wrong. You do an amazing job I like it. But you being to complaining in this video. Lol
Beautiful work as always!!❤️ I 1000% agree we need more female gaze pandering, tasteful nudity PLEASE! 😭
Loved the cat, loved the feminism, love every video you put out🔥
I was gonna bring up “oh there’s nsfw figures of men!” But then I realised that it’s all gay men that is a whole other can of worms and yeah it’s as bad as it sounds
I have learned so much from you and your Videos. I still lack a lot of skills but i end up rewatching your Videos when i lost or need help with an idea, so TY place keep this up, When are we getting another story time with Leona? I know that it was Hard and Rough for the last one. I hope it helped you heal a little, talking about it. HUG and PLS keep it up and also showing us your mistakes.
The next video is a Storytime one!!! But it's also gonna be a little hard, once I get that out of the way, the fun and entertaining stories will come!
Like I don't mind sexy female figurines ok I too can appreciate the female figure. I just get tired of everything needing to be sexualized cause sometimes I'm like this could have been a beautiful kit if you made the sexy less in your face like sometimes more subtle is hotter. And the inequality I know they are making more sexualized male kits, but we're still very lacking in that department. Lol
Yeah, smooth-on resin is great when it works well, but after you open a container, it has a limited shelf-life of a couple months, tops. The hardener wants to cure on its own, once it's exposed to air. I think I heard from a smooth-on rep. that it's moisture in the air that can cause that bubbling when mixed.
I love how the kit came out otherwise though!
WOOHOO All hail the resin queen!!!
I agree so much with you on the print lines 😩 It makes it look cheaper when people leave them unsanded imo
Thanks for this video. I have never worked with traditional resin kits, but I love my 3d prints particularly cause I can resize and print as many as I like! I've been trying to get the Mr. Polisher Pro for some time and it is never in stock. It is now and I snapped it up lol.
Yea, resin printing is hella tedious.. Different expose times on different resins, over-exposure can lead to some pieces expanding slightly etc etc! I think I would print a figure solid just to avoid the hassle of mixing epoxy resin... Lose money on UV resin might save some sanity, which is priceless! The notebook was a brilliant save! I have a bought Serial Experiments Lain figure that stands on some stairs and has a wall, that really adds to the figure, for Komi, it seems a bit much, especially such thick parts! I hope to make 3D prints in the future, so I'm taking mental notes on what to do. ;D The lined skirt turned out so well, and her hair is just gorgeous!
I would also go feral for that Alucard LOL
Always loved your work and dedicated details and work you put into every garage model kit!
As a gay guy myself, I wouldn't mind seeing more if the male model kits with extra love 🤭
Love your videos, as always. I'm not really into the ns/fw art myself, but I wholeheartedly agree that the 3D modeling sphere in particular needs to have the playing field leveled. I highly encourage fellow females and ladies who are interested in 3D modeling to give it a try! (not solely ns/fw, but 3D character modeling in general, tbqh)
I watched the whole video!!! 🐱
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love your videos, been watching a few years now.
Just a heads up, something that's come to my attention recently, is that the carbon filters only kill the smell, not the harmful particles. Just make sure you've got some good ventilation! You're not gonna die from infrequent use, but it's certainly something that can cause health problems down the line. I used to print in my back room that didn't have windows and just used air filters and a lot of videos have come across my youtube lately pointing out, even that's not super effective.
I'm aware of the fumes, unfortunately I don't have any space in my house for the printers except in a small closet but I rarely use the printers except for the videos like these, still the house has good ventilation when the closet is open
@@leonasworkshop Glad to hear, I'm in a similar situation and am wrestling with cutting a vent into the dry wall to pipe out of the house proper through the garage. I was just surprised when I found out that the lack of smell didn't really mean much.
I unfortunately rent so I can't modify anything in the house, crossing fingers I get to beat the millenial curse and someday buy a house 🥲
I fucking love your videos. In fact, I learned a lot thanks to your old painting videos. They are extremely good for beginners, for which I express my sincere gratitude to you.
However, regarding 3D printing, as a person engaged in supporting models on a commercial basis, as well as as an artist working mainly with printed models, I would like to say that you made a lot of mistakes based on your experience with GK. I won't list them all, because you probably don't want to read another comment with a haight, so I'll just give one piece of advice. Stop transferring the GK experience to 3D printing. These are different things, although they are similar. The way 3d models are made for printing differs from GK due to the technological process. The same bases are made like that because they can be like that. There are no bases in GK just for the sake of economy, and not to give you the opportunity to come up with something of your own.
The print community is a friendly and professional society. Just go to almost any major discord channel and ask for advice, help or an answer. We will help you with pleasure, as we help hundreds and thousands of newcomers. If you don't feel confident in 3D printing, there is nothing shameful to ask for help from experienced people. I hope next time you will not have similar problems with 3D printing, and if you do, we will always be happy to help you.
I think the reason for the difference is that NSFW female figures by men is for the male gaze, but NSFW female figures for women is for the female gaze.
Always looking forward to your videos! I've recently picked up kit painting myself, and have learned a lot from you!🐱p.s. even though I've been discovering some things I should have been doing differently already halfway through the kit... oh well :)
Nice work!
But...
I hope like many others take into consideration....
Please, please, please use a proper respirator if you are sanding any form of resin, breathing that in is never good, for anyone as it can lead to serious respiratory issues later in life. 🙏🏼
Where did you get the idea that I don't? 🤔
@@leonasworkshop - Been looking to get into 3D printing and have been watching a number of channels now and barely anyone mentions anything about it, sure they say to cover up when handling liquid resin but never with cured resin when sanding..
Apologies if you took it the wrong way, just raising awareness for the less in the know.
As even just the vapors can lead to complications such as asthma and dermatitis. Even when cured, if sanded the particulates can sit in your lungs forever and cause health issues.
Fingers crossed if you can get a very sexy alucard print and it’s always thank you watching your videos and your cat is adorable 🐈
Haven't really stopped to look at the release date on the videos I've watched, I just know that the first one I watched (Jinx from arcane/ league of legends) and in this one you point out your inability to watch other figure painters because they never clean up their prints before painting. If you haven't heard of him, you need to look up groundeffected. He is a 3d printing model painter, mostly works with comic based figures and very rarely does any anime stuff. But Holy crap i haven't seen a single model from him that I didn't think was easily $200-$300+ quality, and he said he's only been in this hobby since 2020
Hi !! I love love love your videos, as a comment after I saw the putty video, I asked a friend to bring me some of the Tamiya Plyester Putty from Japan as he was going to be there, and the Japan PSA removed the putty from his drop luggage, he even got warned at the store when he bought it by the cashier (he was like "no airplane no airplane"). I still think it might be the Japanese PSA and I am going to try and buy it in the US and bring it back (I am from Argentina), but wanted to share my experience !
I think if you just take 2 or 3 small tubes it won't be a problem, I think it's a problem when it's in your carry on and not the checked bag
😻
People not sanding their 3D-prints really annoys me too. It looks super ugly!
first time in your channel. Amazing work by the way :). Maybe something you have awnser many times, but what kind of putty are you using? that stuff looks amazing to work with
Knowledge is not religated to men only. Women have skills and eye for intricate details. My wife was the one of the most talented people I have ever know. Well done young lady, well done
😻 she turned out beautifully! I agree with the base thing. An alternate version without it really is better then having to print a massive blog that also takes off lots of shelf space. I also love customising my own base for the figures I make.
Gotta say the only thing I've improved on over time printing is never trusting the supports I just put on one section first and to never let myself touch the prints with gloves covered in resin still. I use water washable resin and will try to actually wash my hands with the gloves still on in the sink to not throw away gloves unnecessarily so I leave no residue on the surface once I think I'm done because paint will stick to it easily but it won't stick to the rest of the resin for long and WILL come off with masking tape. Also, if I'm going to be supporting a leg for example and I print it vertically I will go back downwards and add extra supports to non-visible sections after the shoe for example because other than one single time where I'd just messed up the print bed with a scraper and nothing could stick to it anymore every single print failure (of many) I have ever had I can look back at the file for and can see that it would fail and why it would so until you have that kind of confidence in your knowledge do not let any failures happen and sort it out later with sanding. Also also, any time pieces don't align for me has been because of too few supports on joining sections where the pieces sorta shift around and mess up in any place supports aren't which can normally again just be fixed with sanding but not always.
I'm a bit further into the video and I sympathise with the base situation some pieces of my earliest print I ever attempted just broke in half because I hollowed it out and didn't properly clean out the resin before I tried just directly gluing pieces together (sealing them shut (And I never do this now (Don't yell at me))) and the resin still inside expanded and broke both the hair and head apart when they were some of the only pieces I tried to print. At this point if I can't for sure put a hole at both the top and bottom of the piece so air can enter and resin can leave or I can't make a hole ridiculously large I might just leave the piece entirely full. Also helps with my point I made in the original comment where wet resin will cure on the surface of the piece partway in indirect sunlight so will flake off with masking tape because 1.5mm holes absolutely everywhere on my first few prints would still leak resin if I hadn't washed out some resin to make space to expand into then sealed them shut. If you can only put a hole on one end like a hollow leg that doesn't lead to the foot because it thins out partway then probably don't bother to make it hollow at all or at least be prepared to seal up a massive hole where you can't ordinarily see it.
I apologise for just whatever all this was I just got a single great result and am quite proud of it, the final pieces have been printing for 5 and a half hours so far and a print bed I did recently had more failures than successes and I like to think I have learned from it (ie stopped being lazy adding supports when I was basically done with a piece)
I also hate layer lines, that’s the main reason I’m jumping into resin printing. I have my fdm printer dialed in and can get really good detail but no matter what layer lines are inevitable. I spend hrs upon hrs sanding to get it as smooth as possible. There is no “charm” having layer lines for me. Just means laziness in my eyes.
Hi, I can suggest you to print bases and stands on filament, it’s cheaper and it doesn’t need so much detail, and I think most men create NSFW models is to sell and make fan service, but agree they can make male models for women too
As a proud owner of a 500 dollar resin alucard figure I would ALSO proudly give you money to see that nude one painted so happy you said him
if there was a guide about designing and modeling better garage kits, I'd read it
but if there's one then it's buried beneath all the assembly and painting guides, so all my knowledge comes from trial and error and looking at how others do it
Leona just flexing perfectionism making french manicure on those tiny fingers. I don't think i'll ever get into this art however I do enjoy watching all the making and tools and of course Leona hosting is fairly entertaining!
Alucard nsfw model would make me DIE ❤
What's also disgusting when they make these nsfw figures of characters from anime who are underage... Japan has some real problems when it comes to that... very gross.
Edit: The brand of printer is pronounced EL-A-Goo.
i wanna 3d print a honkai figure bc my dad got a second 3d printer. it's better bc it's bigger than the old one he has. just need to understand how to sand the hard to reach and delicate places. :D this video looks very helpful.. hopefully my projects turn out well. bc i want anime merch, but i dont have anime merch money lmao. plus, i like doing little projects.
Hi Great video, What was the paint remover tool you used around the eyes and eyebrows? i could not see it in your docs list. Thanks
Ooh you don't need 8k or 12k resins for a 12k printer. That is just a marketing gimmick. If your resin is too brittle, you can go for a tougher resins. Some are very flexible but they cost a bit more.
i've watched this video three times now [on different occasions lol] and i am a resin artist first and foremost, pouring resin is like bread and butter for me, and while i do think the age/expiry of your resin is the culprit for your issues i do know that most regular resin is not suited to "deep pours", it typically gets too hot while curing and will...bubble and expand 👀if you have issues again maybe try pouring in 1 inch layers or find a resin specifically designed for deep pouring. There are a lot of resins of this type out there but if you don't know that they exist they're very easily overlooked. I would say keep an eye on your actual resin age and pour in shallower layers or find a good deep pour resin you like [they tend to be a lot more runny than typical resin, which can be handy tbh] anyway, love you and your videos, i'm currently working on my first figure bc of you and rolling around in my inexperience lol
I remember seeing the thumbnail and being like, “ooh… that’s… quite the choice for a base.” While I share your grievance about wasting a bunch of time and resources on something that didn’t work out in the end, I think it worked out for the better. Bulky and weird-looking bases seem to be a problem with figures in general, both garage kits and pre-painted. I’m subscribed to a figure-reviewer and some of the figures in her collection look absolutely beautiful… only to have a horrendous base. It’s just so sad.
just fiy, i shave my neck nowadays and my mom died so technically it's my basement, not my moms.
About the big bases, what about printing those in fdm ?
There is a support removal trick. Placed a cleaned part off the printer in a bowl with boiling hot water for 30 seconds to a minute and the supports will fall off (this reduces the nubs left on the model). Then let the part cool and air dry, then UV cure it.
see, I can completely understand the view point, but I do have an honest question, whilst I don't do a lot of nsfw stuff, the vast majority of any nsfw stuff that I do is sort of designed by my sister to a certain extent, by this I mean, she gives me her ideas for what she thinks folks will like, and then I draw or model it, and then I send it to her for feedback, to see what needs to change... (believe it or not her most common criticism is that it's not nsfw enough, idk I think her mind is kinda fuck, but whatever, this ain't what I'm trying to get at). I suppose my question is this: What do you think of stuff that is co-designed by a guy and a gal, and then drawn by a guy, if yk what I mean?
I always sand my 3D print, I can't stand 3D print lines on my figurines. Especially on the face.
Hi Leona! What's that yellow paste and why do you pin everything? (Just kidding, this is a joke).. XD
Finally some amazing work of art!! Really excited!
This video is incredible. I do some resin prints myself, but I only do stuff like printing helmets & weapons for customizing action figures.
I can't do stuff like this on my tiny Elegoo Mars 2 Pro unless I scale everything WAY down and making painting things that much harder.
But figuring out a problem is a part of the process in my eyes.
🐱
Your ginger baby is beautiful
In terms of female 3d artists I really like Munkuin, she does a lot of the Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura models and Madoka.
Personally I’d use an fdm printer for that clunky base. No hassle and I don’t have a resin printer. It’s fun to meticulously paint organic supports and still clean up y’know
ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I’ve been printing and painting 3d prints for around two years now and the bases that some of the figures come with have been a pain for me. Some are really cool looking but they add on so many hours of work. I would much rather have just the figure plus some of the bases are so big that I’m running out of room on my shelf. I really enjoy painting Pinkstudios figures because you get so many choices of faces and sometimes multiple outfits.
Le mostré tus vídeos a mi esposo y el no podía creer que originalmente hablas español, dice que tienes excelente inglés y acento prácticamente imperceptible ❤❤
Jajaja! Gracias!! Es lo que pasa cuando naces y creces pegado a gringolandia, todo lo absorbes de niño, sobre todo el lenguaje gracias a la tele 😂
Nice work! What Is the Yellow stuff you use?
Uff, ese Alucard le encantaría a mi esposita. Eres bien chida, me está sirviendo mucho tu contenido. Más husbandos nsfw para todxs lxs que los quieraaaaan.
Wow the Google doc is 😗👌 immaculate! Thanks!
Different resins have different shrink rates. I use Siraya and Sunlu resins. The Siraya Fast Navy Gray shrinks around 1% while Sunlu's Standard of any color shrinks 1.5-2%, par of the course for almost any other brand's standard resin. The most dimensionally stable I've used is Sunlu's ABS or Nylon ones which only shrink 0.2-0.3%. Even Smooth-On's Polyurethane casting resin, in my case I use their smooth-cast 305 and 321 shrink 0.2%. That 0.2% is pretty negligible but the 1-2% from standard resins is noticeable. And different shrink rates from different resins can cause the fit issues like you encountered.
And speaking of splitting models, I really, really, really F!@$%$ HATE those 3d sculptors that split/cut the head at the jaw line leaving a separate head and neck, and what's worse some even thicken or push out the edge of the neck join which leave a very awkward mushroom like join and requires more filling and sanding to leave a smooth transition. And I'm on the same camp as Leona, figures don't F#%$ng need huge artistic bases. I don't want to spend 100-500gr of resin on my figure and 1-5kg on the base! Even filling a hollow base with polyurethane resin and even adding filler to it feel like I'm throwing money away. I only know less than a handful of artists that knowingly provide a cut down version of their big bases, but in my opinion that's the best compromise if the artist insist on big artistic bases.
I hate the big bases on models too. I Love to make Base / Diorama by my self
As someone who plans on buying a 3D printer set to make their own kits, having a vid like this is going to be useful for me. Granted I have to wait until the move to Portugal finalizes and wait for the house to be built (and that's gonna be a while) but at least I can use the time to learn Blender. Also, as a plastic model builder and kitbasher, I prefer simpler bases and vignettes so that logic will be transferred to my 3D sculpts.
wow, gorgeous work, thank you for showing us how
If you want male pinups, Check out Kingdom Death Monster. They make 32 and 75mm scaled male pin-ups. Some of the monsters have slongs too.
Don't like miniatures and don't like monsters
The reason why most people don't show the prepping and priming of 3d printed models is because we use filler primer to even out the surfaces. Also there is this cool stuff called incredifil that monocure make it's a UV resin filler putty 😺
Oooh I need to look into that stuff, could be really useful.
What’s that green stuff?
What’s that green stuff

Kitty!!!! Five stars! 10/10! Perfect video! 🐱
Lol, she's roasting men right away. Not all men are that way. I am a guy and I came here to learn. Don't feel bad about resin printing. Its a pain. Im an engineer and my first resin printer took me two weeks to produce a completed print. It was a nightmare to be honest. Again sorry to hear you feel so strongly about men and male creators.
Ohhhh we got another Oscar in the making guys!!
What brush do you use for the eyes?
love your work. 😽

Hail the resin QUUEEEEENNNN!!!!!!!
Isn't komi a minor and aren't usagi and mamoru minors? That is my problem with nsfw figures
Usagi and Mamoru also have their adult selves in the series sooooo 🤷♀️
The amount of raunchy resin models for no reason is too damn high!
Long Time. I use to message you back before the pandemic. Nice to see you are still going. And like the 3d printing. I was 3d printing, to help out doing pandemic. And ended up not having time to watch your kids. I see you have gotten AWESOME . You are AMAZING. Love you work. Keep it up
There's actually a few online stores getting popular for selling lewd male character figurines, unfortunately I don't remember the name of this businesses and I'm not fully sure if the figurines are made by women, or even if they're 3D printed. But by I could tell based on the pictures I've seen of Facebook they seem in really good quality. There's one that I really want to get, it's one where Goku and Vegetta are sitting in a sofa playing a video game and some figurines that seem made like made into Bara style.
I just wonder, how long is it gonna take for furries to get into 3D modeling. I wouldn't mind to buy an Amicus figurine, lol.
It would’ve been nice if you explained why pinning won’t work on hollowed prints (as dumb as it sounds). Do you think there’s a way you can just putty that part and place the pin within the putty and maybe secure it with super glue or any workaround like that? I would hate to fill all the pieces with regular epoxy
Because the pin would just fall into the parts, I though that was implied. If you drill a hole into something hollow and try to insert a pin, there's nothing for it to pin to 🤨
@@leonasworkshop yeah, it is pretty obvious it will fall into the piece, what I was asking is if is there a way to use the putty to make a surface thick enough to support the pin before drilling too deep for it to fall, don’t know if the putty hardens enough to do that, or maybe partially hollowing the piece to have a solid part in the connections to drill into, could that work?
I will put a disclaimer that I haven't used these things on resin, but that doesn't mean that they won't work. You may need a practice piece for testing, but any leftover detail piece, like a failed hair print, would be fine for it.
So. In regards to sanding the hair I have some recommendations that might help. 3M makes these almost paper thin abrasive brisle rotary tool attachments. They come in various diameters and grits. You stack them 3 wide, or perhaps 5 wide, on a spindle with little spacers of course. You can combine different diameters and grits to either make a flat buff, or a knife edge buff, or a concave buff, whatever! It's a bit expensive for the base kit with all of the various grits and diameters, but the nice part is that once you figure out what your favorites are then you can order those ones specifically, or if you want to try one or two before committing to a set, try that! The grits are also color coded which is helpful for online ordering (I never 100% trust that a listing is flawless, because we're humans). I used them for precious metals, so I can't tell you the perfect grits for resin sanding, or if they'll even work, and I'm sorry. I also worked with flat and knife edge wheels made from abrasive impregnated rubber, but I purchased these on a jewelry supply site. Those, particularly the knife edge ones, wear down pretty quick, at least on metals which obviously take more pressure to polish, so your results may vary. There are also mini rotary felt buffs in disc, cylinder, bullet, and cone shapes which can be used alone or with a buffing compound. I got a big 50 pk on Amazon for a couple bucks like 15 yrs ago and still have most of them in the box somewhere. (The past decade I haven't used them, but the point is that they're cheap and plentiful).
I don't know if you've heard of these, tried these, hate these, or even if they would work or fail, but I thought it would be worth mentioning in case they could make sanding those ridiculous detail pieces like hair or flowing fabric, easier, faster, and/or less frustrating. I bow to you my resin queen. I am not worthy. 🙇🏼♀️👸
