November Update - Monthly Round Up

I hope you all had a fantastic Samhain and weren't taken by the Wild Hunt. Now there's nothing stopping Christmas and Mariah Carey.

Charity Painting Competition - Still going on!

The painting competition is still going until the end of this month. Get your entries in before November 30th to win some awesome prizes including a 3D printer, resin, merchandise and STL files. The total is up to £285 raised for Direct Relief. It'd be awesome to cross the £300 mark.

Details can be found in this post!

October Content - Now Expired

Shryka is probably one of my favourite sculpts I've done for a while. The whole sculpting and preparation process was pretty pain free when compared to her sister, Mortaya. 

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

Poll Winner - Eva, Madame Whiskey

Eva or "Madame Whiskey" has won the poll. I will be sculpting Eva throughout November and releasing her in December. Hopefully should be streaming more this month so be sure to tune in on Twitch.

Model of the Month - Magdalena, Death's Seeker

Magdalena will be the third and final sister in the Scythebearer series. Magdalena is Death's Seeker. It is her duty to hunt down and retrieve souls that escape The Wheel before their time is due and return them to where they belong. She will be available on November 3rd to all Hero tier and above patrons.

• 1:10 and 1:14 scale model of Magdalena, Death's Seeker featuring:

• 2 head options - Standard with hair and bald

• Magnet Wells - 6x3mm and 4x2mm round magnet wells added to all parts of the model capable of supporting them (magnet holes might not work for the 14th scale option)

• SFW and NSFW, Combined, parts and pre-supported - As usual SFW and NSFW versions are included along with combined, multipart, and pre-supported files for every single piece of the statue and bust.

A note about the combined versions: Over the last few months I have began adding more options to my models and as a result I can no longer create combined versions for every permutation of the model. The logistics, management and storage of several dozen combinations is impractical and unfeasible for me to continue supporting. As a result the combined versions from this point on will be the "canon" version (in SFW and NSFW) as depicted in the original concept art.

• 2 Whip Blade Options - Two types of grip. One entirely 3D printable whip (whip blade in 4 sections). The other has a 2mm hole in the grip that allows for wire to be used. Print as many blade sections as you wish.

•1:10 and 1:14 scale bust versions with the same options as above with additional simple and special stand options.

• 1:1 Scale Scythebearer Pendant - Given to all of Death's Scythebearers the pendant signifies the bearer's authority and aids in communication

• 1:1 Lifesize Seeker Whip Blade - Forged from a slither of Death's own scythe, Magdalena can ensnare and capture her prey using her Whip Blade before dragging them back to The Wheel where they belong.

• Texture swatch - Featuring the  most prominent textures across the models to allow you to practice before committing to the model.

Itch.io and Previous Releases

Testing Itch as a method of releasing files has been quite successful with only a few hiccups here and there that were fairly easy to sort out. The vast majority of feedback has been positive and so I will be sticking with this method of distribution from here on.

With the tools that Itch have now activated for me and the new tools added to Patreon (or at least new to me, not sure when they were added), I can now go back through my previous months and see who was subscribed for each month and export the data to use in a mailing list on Itch.io.  From today and each week following I will be uploading my previous releases to Itch.io and sending out claim e-mails to all those who were subscribed at the time of their release. This means that you can claim the releases and add them to your library so if you ever lose the files or need to free up storage space you can just grab them from your Itch library without issue and whenever you like.

Later today I will be sending out a claim e-mail for Shryka (October), next week I will send out a claim e-mail for Mortaya (September) and so on until all my releases have been added to Itch. This will also be great if you've forgotten to claim October's release too so you will always have a second chance to claim the month's release you were eligible for.

Please make sure to check your spam inbox or add "postmaster@itch.io" to your whitelist.

Usual Content

Usual content will also be available on November 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.
