High-Poly Character STL Conversion

I have a single reference image of a character that needs to be brought to life as a high-poly 3D sculpt. The final deliverable is a watertight .STL ready for printing, posed in a specific custom stance that I will describe (and can mock up with sketches or additional photos if you prefer).

For context, this is not a low-poly game asset—the surface should be highly detailed with clean anatomy, crisp edges, and print-friendly thickness throughout. Feel free to work in ZBrush, Blender, Maya, or any sculpting tool you’re comfortable with as long as the exported STL is error-free and slices without issues.

Acceptance criteria:
• Final STL passes Netfabb/Meshmixer integrity checks (no non-manifold edges, flipped normals, or holes)
• Proportions and pose match the reference image and feedback rounds
• Details hold up at 1:12 scale printing (or better)

Please let me know how many revision passes you include and roughly how long you’ll need for the sculpt and cleanup. If you can share examples of past high-poly character prints, that will speed up the selection process.
