Hi guys, I've added an article on creating custom texture stamps for converting or sculpting your figures:

I can see that being good for quick lizard or dragon skins.... or a variation for fur cloaks....

That's still the "hard" way of doing it. Easiest way of doing a texturing stamp is just to nick a pattern from your surroundings.
Sandpaper on putty that has been halfcured (just pressing it against to leave a pattern) is one simple and effective texture for instance for your rough material capes and coats.
But thanks again for a great tutorial Prophet.

When you can do that, it's great.  That of course requires you being able to find the right texture in the first place! I do have a piece of dried orange peel in my toolbox that I have used on occasion.

Not my idea I'm afraid but Bob Olleys (I think...). I think I consider him the master of varied textures out there. Stamps, scrud*ing you name it. He uses all the tricks available to great effect.
