In this part of the tutorial we finish the miniature.

Part 1 of this tutorial is here

Next I rolled out a thin sheet of clay and attached it to the shoulders as a cape.

Same thing with the hair. I rolled out a sheet then pressed it onto the head and shaped it with a tool.

And I want to point something out here. When you add sheets and pieces of clay you can get this wonderful detail lined effect. This is particularly good to show the edges of things like clothes and armor.

Now that everything else is just about done we can do the face. You have a couple of options for this. You roll it and add small pieces like this.

Or you can add a thin sheet onto the face and work on that, getting that into shape. Then you can even move forward by adding more small pieces.

And that's it. Just about done. I added the detail of the jewel around his neck. From here I can do some more detail work but this is good. Let's paint it up!

Your battle mage is complete. If you want to learn how to paint miniatures. I have an in depth tutorial right here: How to Paint Miniatures.
