Thank You

This is around the time of the month when someone like me, who runs a Patreon, sends out a message to his/her patrons with enticing and alluring previews of what is coming in an attempt to keep you from canceling that monthly pledge, and it is something I have done in the past, but I'm not going to do that, not this time (except for maybe a little, tiny, teaser in the end, we'll see...)

Instead I want to give you all a big thank you. Regardless of your reasons for supporting me, whether you do it because you simply want to support an artist, or get permission to sell prints of the models I sculpt, or just join for a month and grab the models and excitedly proceed to print them, you have my gratitude.

It feels both amazing, and still very strange to now have 160 (+/- 20) people every month giving a part of your hard earned money, for whichever your reason may be, and it adds a certain amount of pressure which on a good day is fantastic motivation, but on a less good day can be downright debilitatingly anxiety inducing.

Throughout the month there's so many thoughts jostling around in my brain screaming for attention:

"I'm super happy with this sculpt, but is it just in my head?"
"Am I making enough sculpts? These other guys release like 10 every month..."
"I really need to start losing some weight soon..."
"Should I make a sculpt of former Hynerian Dominar Rygel XVI? Only one, or two at the most of my Patrons would even know who that is.."

... and all too rarely:

"Man, I'm actually super lucky. There's people out there who would give an arm to be in my position..."

So, there's a good chance I may be a bit insecure, and quite possibly suffering from a severe case of impostor syndrome, but I hear even Tom Hanks suffers from this, so it can't be that bad of a thing to struggle with, right? Right!? :)

Again, thank you. All of you!

(Oh, and because I know some of you really want to know. During November my main focus will be The Mandalorian and Rogue.)

tl;dr: Thanks! I'm Tom Hanks. Mandalorian. Rogue.

I have only recently got hooked on 3D printing and watch a lot of tutorial especially one's by Nexi. His link to your Deadpool put me in another dimension as far as 3D printing goes. Your attention to detail is amazing such as the Pirate with Rat on Shoulder bust.....fantastic.

I love your work so much. The SpiderMan and Deadpool busts were the VERY first things I printed and painted when I got my first printer. They still live on my desk at work and people still comment on how beautiful they are. I finally got around to becoming a patreon and I cannot wait to print some more.
