I asked $120 and $1000 artists on Fiverr to make the same Warhammer

This week we went on Fiverr and asked 3 different artists to design the exact same miniature. We got a quite insane result, not exactly warhammer but miniatures non the less :)

That first artist deserved a 10/10 for the price that sculpt was beautiful

[thorbjrnbarone]

Hi Squidmar,
Thanks for having me on the show. It was a tight deadline, but i think it came out alright! Also a lot of respect to the fivirr sculptors for a job well done. Lastly, thanks for the feedback, there is always room for improvement and i certainly still have plenty to learn. Kind regards Thorbjorn :).

[InVerum]

I have a funny feeling that first guy's commissions are going to be darn full for a while. Should up his price but I'm seriously considering getting him to sculpt something for me. As someone who is just looking to get a custom piece for their Warhammer army, feels like a no brainer

[jansimblank]

I hope Squarespace gave you a bunch of money for their ad because it's literally the first time in 1000 videos I actually don't skip the ad part. Great job!

[elias]

The second to last guy did a hell of a job for 450. Definitely use him again and give him more time.

[tims]

I respect Thorbjørn, but the first model was ABSOLUTELY the best for the price. They swooned over the third too much honestly. The second was honestly what I expected for the first two.

[irishwristwatch]

Damn, that first guy really undersold himself

[CauldronBlack]

As an asset lead in the VFX industry I congratulate the artists on the work they did for the price they charged. I also believe they undersold themselves and should value their skill more (the second artist was closest to cost for value). From what I saw just in this video there was no huge skillgap like Squidmar and Thorbjorn proclaimed when the fine details weren't there. You simply got what you paid for. It's great and all to sell a 500+ sculpt for 120 dollars, but unless you live in a very cheap country then it wont be sustainable and you hurt the working rates of artists around you. The $450 sculpt was the best in my opinion and you could tell Thorbjorn was a little taken back compared to his more then double priced second fiddle. Fun vid overall

[erickerickson]

As a freelance sculptor, id say if you want some features extenuated, added or removed its best to send those details with the prompt, especially with a small timeframe. Great video overall!

[Runefather]

450$ has the best head. It's the closest one to the concept art. And like you said, it gives Saruman vibes.

[SKALS-ICY-TOM]

I love the idea and concept of just paying a bunch of different artists to make a model from the exact same sketch, and see what they come up with.... People are so damn talented

[BarokaiRein]

I don't understand how the first guy made that model for 120 dollars. Like the second guy is definitely more realistic at the price point, like it's a fully custom model that they're not even going to sell STLs for or anything, so it's a one off sale for them.

[horhevamp]

I think given the 120 vs 1000 price tag the first was EASILY the best... I am not suprised you didnt do a side by side of 1-3-4 cause it would show this even more.

[Dragongaze]

I actually prefer the torso morphology on the 450$ one. Especially the deltoid-pec connection, when you raise your arm the pec should flatten and follow the arm. Here the left pec stays the same as the right one despite the position of the arm being completly different.

The problem is also in the artwork tho, so eh.

Great work anyway

[selkieskins]

Very nice to see the dialogue between the sculptor and the commissioner. I really enjoyed all of the other sculpts shown as well; I'm astonished by what the artists were offering for the money they wanted! They all did great work that I personally would really enjoy painting up.

[brendanleach]

You are the only youtuber that I don’t fast forward though during the adds, you guys do such a great job.

[SeanStClair-crjl]

Holy SHIT that concept artist is FUCKING pro. Haha. WOW. He totally allowed that concept into his own brain. That is so "giving." Damn. Cool!

[albaccardo]

@Squidmar Miniatures
@Thorbjørn Barone

Hi guys, I wanted to thank you both for considering my work and commenting on it.
Had I known it would end up in one of your videos, I really would have tried harder!

Thank you again and hugs to you! Until next time I hope!

[euansmith]

The sponsorship spot is a great giggle.

I like that Squidmar and Thorbjorn are so fair with their criticism of the fivver artists.
Thorbjorn's sculpted saggy-old man flesh is nicely observed.
