July Update - Monthly Round Up

We're already in the last half of 2021. What even is time anymore?

June Content - Now Expired

The links for June's content have now expired. Lady Xiu will be available on my website today for anyone who missed her. My Mini Factory emails will be sent out over the next couple of days (depends how long it takes them to publish the upload).

LINKS TO JUNE CONTENT ARE NOW INVALID - NEW ONES FOR JULY WILL BE POSTED ON THE 3RD JULY.

Poll Winner - Gunnery Sergeant Cassidy West, Roaring Thunder

I'm quite surprised and excited that Cassidy has won the vote. I will be sculpting her throughout July and releasing in August. I'll share Work In Progress shots as I go.

Model of the Month - Khara Eldris, Baroness of the Boneyard

The full release of Khara and her undead guardian, Thorne the Butcher, on July 3rd will include:

• 1:10 and 1:14 scale model of Khara Eldris, Thorne the Butcher and a rising zombie (affectionately known as Ed):
  • 2 head options - bald and with hair.
  • NSFW option for both Khara and Thorne
 • Combined, Multi-part and Pre-supported STLs
  • Single Piece and Multi-Part Base - The base is larger than usual, it has been cut into parts for the smaller form factor printers (5.5 or 6" screens), and a full single piece version is included for larger printers (8.9" screens and above)

• 1:10 and 1:14 scale bust version with:
  • Simple and Special base options
 • NSFW option for Khara
 • Combined, Multi-part and Pre-supported STLs

• Practice Texture Swatch - Practice painting the 4 most prominent textures of the model.

• 1:1 life size Meat Hook and Cleaver
  • Optional wraps - Enabling the addition of real cloth or leather wrap

• 1:1 life size Brooch and Pendant

Holiday Break in July - Possibly Cancelled

I was hoping to be able to take July off, but I don't think that's going to work out financially. I've still got my Scotland road trip at the end of July but should be able to get everything for August's release done in time. I'll keep you all up to date anyway and see what happens but in all likelihood I may just take August off instead, we'll see.

Changes to Polls and Voting

As I mentioned last month, the way polls work has changed. Unfortunately Patreon's poll system is quite simplistic so a custom solution has been put together.

The new system now works as a cumulative vote. Each losing option will have its votes carried over from the previous month, giving them an edge over the new option that will be added in the winner's place.  Generally speaking, one option often wins by a landslide and so this is still possible, but it also means each option will eventually win out due to the accumulated votes from previous months, meaning no option will be dropped in the future and all will be made eventually.

I will also be including previously dropped options (not that there are many) so they get a fair shot once again.

This change will be a "beta test", I suppose. If it works it will continue, if not then other options may be tried.

Usual Content

Usual content will also be available on July 3rd (or earlier depending on the billing completion). Renders, poll sketches and Work In Progress Shots will be available through the Itch.io releases. For those who have already claimed the Itch.io Artwork and Trove release, they will be updated so you do not need to claim them again.
