About this role
The Dragon Trappers Lodge is seeking skilled and passionate miniature sculptors to join our creative team on a contract basis. This is a rare opportunity to become part of a studio known for producing high-quality, 3D-printable miniatures in the realms of fantasy and sci-fi. If you have a strong eye for detail, a firm grasp of anatomy, and love bringing dynamic creatures and characters to life, we want to work with you.
About the Role
As a contract sculptor with The Dragon Trappers Lodge, you’ll collaborate closely with our Sculpting Director and a seasoned team of artists to produce 32mm scale miniatures for tabletop gaming. Our sculpts emphasize semi-stylized anatomy and fantasy storytelling, with occasional sci-fi elements. You’ll work from detailed concept art to craft models that are optimized for both aesthetics and 3D printing performance.
This is ongoing work, with new models each month. Most sculptors on our team complete one model per week, and we maintain clear milestones, prompt feedback, and a streamlined pipeline that keeps production fast-paced and focused.
Responsibilities
• Sculpt high-quality 32mm miniatures in ZBrush based on provided concept art.
• Model both humanoid characters and creatures with anatomical accuracy and dynamic posing.
• Prepare clean, print-ready STL files, including keying and part separation for physical printing.
• Follow feedback and direction from the Sculpting Director, collaborating with other team members to ensure quality and consistency.
• Meet deadlines reliably while maintaining artistic standards.
Required Skills & Qualifications
• Proficiency in ZBrush with a strong portfolio of miniature sculpts or relevant 3D character work.
• Experience preparing models for 3D printing, including hollowing, keying, and understanding wall thickness and undercuts.
• Solid knowledge of both human and creature anatomy.
• Ability to work from concept art and adapt it into a clean, printable sculpt.
• Professionalism in remote collaboration, communication, and time management.
Compensation & Workflow
• Payment is per model, based on complexity and scope.
• Flexible, remote work schedule with weekly delivery milestones.
• Ongoing projects mean consistent monthly work for dependable artists.
