Fantasy Gnome Miniatures

How it started

In the summer of 2025, Rishi (sculptor Rishikesh Nandlaskar) send me a message on Instagram, asking me if it was okay for him to sculpt one of my 2D characters in 3D.

I instantly fell in love with his work and immediately agreed. I then asked if he would like to sculpt a gnome that I had just drawn.

We initially wanted to create just one character, but after posting the gnome sculpt online, we received so many positive comments from people in the wonderful miniature painting community that we decided to create a whole series of gnomes.

Everything you see is made by humans as a result of years of practice. No AI has been used whatsoever throughout the entire creative process.

After a lot of work, we're finally ready to present to you our four fantasy gnomes:
