I asked my viewers what their dream miniature would be, I then paid artists on Fiverr to make these dream characters in to concept art. This is the first video in a series where i make my viewers dream miniature bust. Starting with fantasy character concept art, bringing it to life in the next video with 3D sculptors and hopefully producing them and getting them painted in the future if the quality is good enough. In the end i hope to get some miniatures in the rains of Warhammer or scale model bust miniatures for my viewers, the ones they always dreamed about having.

The guy who did the Dwarf, I would love for him to do my portraits for my a boardgame I'm making. Can you please help me find him? $120 feels very reasonable
I think I found the links in this video. Hope it still works!
@@WitchDoctor87 isn't the link in the description working?
@@SquidmarMiniatures I found it thank you, I forgot to delete my comment. This video was very helpful, I think this is the guy I will hire for my game! 😄
The Dwarf is phenomenal!
They’re all amazing, but I’m going with the Dwarf if we’re thinking about getting busts made!
The Barbarian Bard was a quick favorite. So different from the norm and a cool art style! Thanks for making these videos!
After watching the whole video now, the dwarf warrior with the mace is just incredible! Second favorite!
I get it. From puffin forest
The Barb-Barian as well
Barbarian Bard I feel is the most unique. Would totally like to see a high detailed busted of this.
That was my favorite too. I like her art style. I know a sculptor who could knock it out of the park I just don't want to speak for him.
Daaaamn, that dwarf detailed art with the mace in dragon scale armour, love it.
Ork Warlord is probably second.
Also the Bardbarian is pretty cool as a display bust.
They are all amazing, however my ranking would be:
1 - Pappa Ork & Baby
2 - Barbarian Bard
3 - Dwarf
This all the way
The dragon scale dwarf was so damn cool!
Barbarian Bard is the best bust! I love how the artist made the lute almost as small as a Ukulele in the hands of the imposing figure! Keep up the good work, Emil!
The dwarf is my vote! Barbarian Bard second favorite.
Why pick, just do each in order of priority or likes. My favorite is dwarf its just amazing masterpiece of posing+details+atmosphere. But I like other too, orc and necro!!! is very detailed!
^^ this a good idea
Barbarian Bard, Barbarian Bard, BARBARIAN BARD!
It's so unique and the expression is awesome. Second would be the Orc with the little one, amazing artwork.
Hey guys! Feel free to write your favorites from the video. Any number of favorites is OK! Nobody wants to hear which one you disliked. Keep it positive :)

$120=$320
$320=$120.
The Dwarf and the Orc were best, mybe even together in a DIORAMA.
That orc is amazing! Makes me want to do a similar commission
My vote goes out to Dwarf from Williamrliberto, Wallok with the Female night elf, and the Orc from Anirbansaha1987. I really like these concepts and I feel like they all had a lot of character, pun intended.
@@vierwhey You'll notice that there's a line on Fiverr with the gig where they OK the use of these characters for Commercial Use. If you're referring to the Patreon, twitter, and RUclips sources - I think he took those responses as inspiration and it would be hard to pin down the individual contributors and likely not necessary. My 2 cents from a non-legal background.
The barbarian bard would be really fun if it could be turned into a miniature, but that dwarf warrior art is just gorgeous.
Yes, I would love to see a full sculpt, not just a bust of that one.
Barbarian bard and orc, probably like the orc more, but the bardbarian is very cool
They all look nice, especially the barbarian-bard, the female warriors, and the orc warlord, but -damn- that dwarf looks like he would be a blast to paint. Dwarf, you have my axe...er vote!
Got to be the brilliant looking dwarf, with the orc in second place!
Great video Emil. Really awesome stuff man. For me my favorite is definitely that Dwarf. So much life and depth in that illustration its crazy. All of them though are masterpieces! Can't wait to see which is the winner and what you do with it! :)
Thanks so much Neil! :D
I love the Barbarian Bard! The others are amazing but that one is so unique when it comes to the fantasy style. I love it. For that price too, dang!
Definitely the dwarf from Stefan, the details and the atmosphere tell amazing stories
They are all incredible! I would have to say that dwarf is my favorite overall, followed close by the BARDbarian
Well... Dwarves are love, Dwarves are life.
So i like the Warrior by Williamrliberto and the one by StefanDjuraDJ the most
Bard/barbarian, orc with baby and dwarf are by far most professionally done and the best...
The dwarf with the dragonscale armour is the best
The orc is amazing... all of them are good. I love the shield in that final piece of art as well! I'm in for picking up whatever character you select.
Barbarian Bard is my favorite - but all of them are excellent quality and really nice :)
I think the bard barbarian could be incredible cool as a bust, especially since it has so much personallity. I am also really curious to see what a sculptor could do with it.
Definitive the Bard Barbarian. Hell yeah a lil bit of peace in the form of a wild naked warrior. Like Bubby Duke say: I want That! 😁 Second one definitive the Dwarf. Enjoy the day and thanks for your videos
These artists did an amazing job. My only problem with the ork is that the artists took abit to much inspiration from World of warcraft in my opinion, looking at the gloves and the shoulders. But non or the less great job, i have actually considering getting an artist to draw my DND character now because of this video :D
I'm a sucker for a unique art style and dynamic poses. The Bard, the Lich and the Dragon Scale Dwarf get my vote.
I think the Necromancer was one of the most original character designs out of the group. The Dwarf with dragon scale armour was extremely refined and had a great face and expression. I also really liked the detail in the Orc Warlord. The patterns on the axe were cool
That elf archer holding a staff looks great as does the strong female warrior
I love RedRoka's bardbarian. The picture has real comedy in it with the massive barbarian and the tiny lute - great style and I think she enjoyed painting it too, you can see the love and enjoyment in that image.
I also really liked the strong female warrior in greyscale. The artist made her both beautiful and realistic, powerful yet feminine - so much better choice than the silly chain mail bikinis female fantasy characters are often depicted with.
I hope my suggestion I left on the youtube community post gets a look from one of these great artists but I appreciate there were SO many good choices.
To be clear - ALL the art work was fantastic there were no bad results here - and kudos to the landscape artist doing a portrait - that took guts.
I would love to see the dwarf done. But legs included and nice base..
The barbarian bard is my first vote, but closely followed by the Dwarf with Dragon Scale Armor. The Bard was first only because I laughed the minute I saw it with that face. The personality of that artwork is phenomenal!
The barbarian bard would be great to paint!
#1. Dwarf - Just incredible!
#2. Necromancer
#3. Orc w/Child
Cool project and awesome artwork all around!
I love the dwarf, but as a tool for the sculptor, I don't envy the job they will have guessing what is going on in all that shadow.
They are all great, I would absolutely paint any one of them, but the standout just for being outside the norm, and yet still totally relatable is the Barbarian Bard. The character in that pose is brilliant, strength and gentility depicted in one moment. Love it.
Its quite impossible to choose, but ill go with the barbarian that the girl painted, cos he looks like me haha
Love this format, great work!
Making the viewers part of the creation of the ''merch'' is quite genius and it generates way more interest than just spamming a merch-website.
Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Gotta love artists, these are all amazing 🤘
For me the winners are the Bard-barian, female warrior #1 and the dwarf with mace.
The dwarf would be most fun to paint, I think, but the Orc, the Bard and the Necromancer would be all really exciting to get our hands on. Super pumped for this project, I hope this will be a constant series, like new sets of fiver commisions as soon as the sculpts are done :D
That Super Detailed Dwarf is a must paint, Squidmar you know what to do. 😂
That dwarf...wow! The ork was amazing, especially the colors and all the detail, but there's something about that dwarf that is so dark and bad ass
Such amazing art! My two favourites were the Barbarian Bard, and the Female Night Elf!
Really excited to see any of these characters sculpted though :D
I definitely loved the Redroka's bard barbarian and Stefandjuradj's dwarf sketches best. The bard -barian is one I'd be most interested in buying.
The dwarf is easily the best. There are some weird things going on with the others like
Why is the elf holding the staff so high up unless she's leaning on it?
The lady holding the sword has a weird hand
The barbarian has kinda strange proportions
They're still great artwork
Only thing I didn't like about Dwarf was hardly any visible details it was all dark, it did look the best though. Everything else lacked any realism, which is what most mini painters aim for.
Anyone know if squidmar owns the art now, as well does he have proof that there's no digital backups?
Barbarian has right proportions, for the art style. There are no mistakes or flaws, it's perfect for the chosen style. Other works do have mistakes; bard, dwarf and orc do not.
These are all awesome, and great concept, this is why I love your channel. My favourites are actually right in line with yours. The orc warchief is just amazing, the dwarf with the Dragon scale armor looks great and the warrior/Paladin woman I would love to see you paint. The necromancer would be really cool just to see what you do with the lighting effects from his spell. Great work, can't wait to see where this goes!
The dwarf with the axe, it’s so simple but I love it.
I love both female warriors and the Orc father! The dwarf is just an amazing piece that is happily frame and put on my wall.
I liked the viking from the end and the dwarf, pls make more than one bust 😂
There are three things I'd love to see:
1. Full models for some of these (Not just a bust). How cool would they be for RPG minis??
2. STLs available to buy. International Shipping is expensive and SLA 3D printers are getting much more common amongst hobbyists.
3. The artists getting a cut. Hot damn are some of these artists selling their work cheap, it would be great for them to get a cut of the sales of the STLs / Already printed minis.
Fantastic video, keep it up!
Great video, awesome concept artwork. The necromancer is probably my favourite but the female warriors are fantastic.
Man dude. A lot of great art to choose from.
I'm gonna pick 4 like you did.
1. That Detailed dwarf, bro... holy moly!
2. Big daddy orc.
3. That Necromancer Has potential.
4. Barbarian Bard. It could have been more wacky but that little lute is fun
Absolutely loved the dwarf but I gotta say the Ork was my favorite, so much personality!
The orc warlord is unbelievable good, I would love to see this made. But the bard barbarian is really great too because it's something completely different and loled at the size of the instrument in these muscled arms, just a great contrast.
Actually liked the Barbarian Bard the best, followed by that kick-ass Dwarf!
That dwarf is really dynamic and well done so it gets my vote but honestly I'd love to see many of the others also be used for 3d models. Also I really appreciate how this concept/series is bringing up not only the process anyone could go through to outsource concept art commission to modeling to molding and production but really how it puts freelance artists in such a good light. Except for in certain groups already with the mindset, there's alot of bias against artists as being useless or unimportant and this video can really bridge a gap between tabletop/mini painters and more conventional art forms.
Barbarian Bard!!!! Definitely! This one is so unique and made me laugh. I really love everything about him :D Thanks for this great video!!
Rodroka's bard barbarian is really rad, I love the whimsical nature of it! StefanDjuraDJ's dwarf would be so cool as well.
Hello, i posted a comment saying you'll oversaturate it if you keep doing these videos but I deleted it because you're right, this is different lmao
I love elves and the one you picked first was indeed great... but this dwarf is like... woooooow .... jaw drop. Seriously. Dwarf is for me the best, hands down. Especially for 120$ ... AMAZING! Great vid. Fingers crossed for the project :)
the 280 dollars duded just photobashed pieces of other illustrations togheter
yah, you can obliviously see the dark lines of the "cut"
Bard Barbarian is my number one pick.
I really liked the ork warlord as well, but I immediately recognized it as a really close copy of an official Gromm Hellscream illustration from WoW. (That being said, if the literal inspiration given was "Gromm Hellscream, but a dad!" then the execution was spot on.)
Joining the mailing list in hopes of getting the dark elf :D
I honestly liked them all, it's difficult to choose..
But for a mini, the Bard-Barian is my favourite I think. Just because you don't often see a warrior-musician combo and they always look so cool. Would be incredible to paint. And also the cartoony style is very unique
The strong female warrior is amazing. My vote definitely goes there, with the elven female and dwarf with dragonmail being close runners-up.
This is fantastic! Love the content of your videos.
While I like to many of these, my vote would have to be #1 for the dwarf, I think that bust would be freaking fantastic. #2 would go to the barbarian bard, that style is awesome. Finally #3 would be the orc and goblin combo, while I feel orcs are very abundant in that style, the artwork is simply breathtaking. If any of those are made into busts, I'll definitely be joining the community paint along :)
My top three
1) Ork Warchief
2) Necromancer
3) Female Warrior with sword
Fantastic work by all the artists. I cant wait to paint some of these.
I love the barbarian bard, looks like he'd belong in the film Brave. I think it being more cartoony/Disney style would be great for a miniature, it's more unique than most that try to push for realism. I know when picking miniatures to paint I'd rather paint something more unique than generic.
The dwarf and the orc are ridicilous and I hope you make them into busts. But I have to say I really loved the Barbarian Bard, it would be so cool to see how a really talented modeller could make it into a bust keeping that art style.
My two favorites are the Lich and the Bard-Barbarian. The lich would be really interesting to see painted because of the lighting effects; The Bard-Barbarian is just a big ball of fun! So big and muscular but so sensitive and expressive.
Of course I just think you should save the ork for later and then do it anyway.
Although I like orcs a lot that dwarf blew me away and I absolutely liked that one the most. But every other painintg was very good too and I would have gone down trying to do something close to that level. So huge respect to all the artists, good jobs done there.
The dwarf is AMAZING. The post and textures would be amazing to paint as a bust. My vote goes to that one, even though all of them look superb.
Also - if possible could you release the STL file along with the physical bust if you end up doing a commercial release. It would make it easier for those of us not staying in the US/EU zones where postage ends up being a major cost.
Dwarf, Orc Warlord with Baby THEN probably the Bard Barbarian... I think this list will cover different painting styles too! Ones a Disney style. The other is a hyper realistic dwarf. And The Orc is very fantasy like!
I'm for the dwarf with white scale armor and rod of power, second place the bard barbarian - I'd love to see a bust in the disneyfied style. A really interesting painting challenge!
I like the dwarf and the orc ! Those are very good , art styles and I think would make awesome busts to paint , thank you , love how you are including everyone in your videos .
The dwarf... It's AMAZING.. The female warrior it's pretty cool too..
Good job to everyone, they really did a good job...
I know that the video is old enough that it's not a vote, but I am really impressed with the work of the artists you found!
The bardbarian and the orc+baby are the best, as concept art, imo!!.
All models are very nice, congrats to the artists. The dwarf in dragon scale is my favorite : the body stance and the face are very good. Armor, weapon and clothes will be nice to pain also.
hello Squidmar, I'm 14 and love your videos. I have learnt lots of great tips from your chanel. I have been painting since i was 12 and think I have improved the fastest since I'm watching your videos.
and i would like to thank you for making these great videos
I LOVE the cartoon-y barbarian. I think that would actually be a great bust to paint. In order:
1) Dwarf in white dragon
2) Orc & baby
3) Bard-barian
All were good, but the Dwarf was fantastic (the best price point of the group). The Orc was great too, but I feel like I've seen him so many times before in other incarnations.
The Dwarf, the Necromancer, then the bard. They're all awesome
I really like the barbarian bard. Very different style. I saw both a warrior and someone quite soft and gentle...such a clash. I would buy one the moment I had spare cash.
The Dwarf with the mace! Incredible work.
My favorites are the bard barbarian - very unique!
Next would be the dwarf with the squid. That guy looks like he's done things.
Runner up is a tough choice, but I think I would go for the orc warlord & kid.
They're all great designs!
Very cool idea! Great to collaborate and give newer artists a chance. A project from start to finish will be awesome to follow! I hope you get lots of candy!
the dwarf is the best one hands down. but i love the Bardbarian aswell.
Dwarf with dragon scale armor is my vote!
The beard, fur and really cool face along with a NMM mace would be AMAZING to paint, however, is it possible to add details to the waist of it?
The badass viking, orc warlord both have more interesting detailed waists.
The compexity of the face in the female paladin makes her my favourite, but I doubt it can be transferred to a 3D model. Therefore I will vote for the barbarian bard, also because painting him as a comic style would pose a new challenge. Overall I am impressed with the quality of the results compared to the prices
The Bardbarian looks like great fun.
I like the dwarf with the squid the most, probably followed by that really cool barbarian warrior with the shield and long axe. Third I would pick the orc. He's just too well done not to love.
Stefan's Dwarf, the bard-barian and necromancer were my favorite. All of them looked great though!
I love the Orc Daddy and the dwarf with white Dragon scale armour the best...I hope one of those or both get made into mini's... I'd definitely want to get one! :)
Williamrliberto’s Dwarf is great! I love the armor style and the size of his axe. His beard could be a bit bigger😉. The other two dwarves are great too, but Will’s idea of a dwarf is in line with mine.
I commented on describing my dream bust as a dwarf. After seeing this and thinking about it again I’d love to see an amazing Valkyrie. Full armor like some of the female warriors seen in this video.
The bard barbarian is epic! Rainbow Sculptor (Christine) on the Reaper Miniatures forums has a very similar style (Disney cartoon) to her 3d sculptures. Get her to do it!!!
The dark elf female warrior is beautiful so was the dwarf man that one was amazing and so was the female warrior but I’m so excited to whichever one wins hopefully one of my favorites lol beautiful artwork all around
For that price range with that artist’s skill work, the deserve more than their rates! Fine works!
Shoot. I'd want the Bardbarian as a playable mini, and the Dwarf... Both of those are my top two. Awesome work.
The liche is awesome as a concept idea and looks like a witchdoctor style. But the Disney bardbarian looks like immense fun to paint.
The overall standard for what was paid was awesome! The dragon scale dwarf is probably my favourite though, it would be great to see in full light
