Candle Goblin 3D print model

The Candle Goblin is a whimsical yet unsettling creation — a fusion of mischievous fantasy and eerie craftsmanship. Sculpted with exaggerated features and an impish grin frozen in waxy expression, this creature seems half alive, half melted. Its hunched form supports flickering candles that drip endlessly over its shoulders and head, forming hardened layers of wax that look like the scars of centuries spent haunting dimly lit corridors.

This goblin is no ordinary trickster. Its surface tells stories through texture — rough patches of hardened wax, scorched edges from burned wicks, and faint glimmers of soot embedded within folds of its leathery skin. The sculptor’s touch captures that perfect tension between humor and horror, as though this creature might chuckle quietly while tending to forgotten candles in an ancient crypt.

The soft candlelight enhances its expression — eyes that glimmer with mischief, a crooked nose casting long shadows, and a grin that feels both welcoming and sinister. It embodies the paradox of gothic fantasy: grotesque yet endearing, ugly yet fascinatingly alive. Whether placed as a display piece or imagined in the lore of dark fairytales, the Candle Goblin becomes a living relic — a spirit of flame and laughter intertwined.

A blend of eerie ambiance and artisan design, this sculpture stands as a tribute to fantasy craftsmanship — perfect for haunted interiors, medieval settings, or gothic storytelling. It represents not just a character, but a mood: the quiet dance of firelight in a world between nightmare and imagination.
