Important! Please Read! Poll about December Release? "MAKE THIS MINI"

Hello everyone!

December is still a long way off, so it may seem a bit strange to talk about it now, but you'll see that today's announcement is directly related!

Over the years working at StoneKing I've usually reserved December to make a set that I found interesting but didn't fit the rest of the year, and it's mainly been about sets set in an urban environment, with scenery and miniatures. Although this year I also had a similar release planned (which we'll have at some point), I've had an idea that I find more interesting. So in this post I'd like to tell you about That Idea and ask you to let me know your opinion through an open vote for all patrons, so here we go. For this December I'd like you to tell me "HEY!...

MAKE THIS MINI!

Make This Mini will consist of just that, a set of miniatures proposed by you. Between September and October you will have the opportunity to publish the description of an adventurer, monster, hero, creature, robot, villain, animal... Whatever! Simply a character out of your mind that you would like to see made. After a while we will open a period for everyone to be able to vote for those ideas that seem most crazy, interesting or striking to you, and once the vote is decided, during November I will work on those minis, having them ready for the December release! There will be certain rules that I will describe below, although apart from those I would like you not to hold back when proposing your ideas!

Well, in general terms this is the idea. So now I have to ask you, what do you think? Should we go ahead with this idea or should we have a launch with the usual method? Please vote in this post for your choice! Voting will be open until September 16th (inclusive) and whatever the result, I will post again next week to announce it.

Below is a summary of the rules. Later I will publish more detailed and expanded rules.

-Only one idea per person can be proposed.

-The miniature will be made in the usual StoneKing style

-It must be a miniature (not a figure or statue) that fits on a base between 25 and 35 mm

-The miniature must be unique, only one main character with a maximum of one pet or mount.

-The model may include a modeled base.

-The miniature will not contain NSFW elements (eroticism, nudity or explicit violence) or sensitive themes.

-The miniature will not be a replica of, nor will it be based on, any concept licensed by third parties.

-If applicable, I will not accept images or extensive descriptions of real of real people as reference.

-The miniature may be of any setting or theme.

-The miniature and final files will be subject to the same conditions of use as all StoneKing products.


Please DO NOT post any mini ideas here. There will be a dedicated post for that later. Any proposals outside the designated post will not be considered.

Comments

Yes, it would be against that rule. The purpose of this is to propose characters that you have thought up. There will be other occasions for replicating characters based on franchises. The next post will contain a more detailed and explained list of the rules. (I'll take this opportunity to say that there will be a small additional set a little before Halloween.)

Question regarding the rules . I wanted to suggest some pop culture killer as they were super close last month but sadly medieval miniatures won but according to this would it be not allowed? -The miniature will not be a replica of, nor will it be based on, any concept licensed by third parties. for example if i suggest a Jason Vorhees it would go against that rule?

Absolutely, I have so many xmas sets over the years I really don't need another.

Go for it, my friend! I'm about to print off a ton of your stuff to go with some other similar designers for my kids to paint. God help your designs . . .

Mi interés con esto es crear un evento especial. Si es lo suficientemente popular podria estudiar ampliarlo a un par de veces al año, pero hacerlo de forma mensual sería demasiado complejo. My interest with this is to create a special event. If it is popular enough I might consider expanding it to a couple of times a year, but doing it on a monthly basis would be too complex.

Salvo por algunas normas que publicaré, en la linea de las que ya he descrito aquí, es completamente libre. Except for some rules that I will publish, along the lines of those I have already described here, it is completely free.

Carlos Montero

I think it's an idea that can give interesting results and it's worth the try, but I too love working the way I always do!

Carlos Montero

I wish I could, but no! Making a figure for each of you would take me more than a year! There will be a vote and I will make the ones with the most votes. I will edit the post to make it clearer.

brillant idea

Guillaume Bellanger

Wait, so a mini per all of your patreons? That's ambitious and pretty generous too. I'd even settle for a short tutorial series so we could all make a mini together in the same style without having to burden you with all our requests.

Andrew McWatt

Interesting idea but seeing the last months choices ... I'm pretty sceptical. ( Colt express one was pretty cool though)

Joseph Plissken

I think you're way more excited about MTM than just the usual so it's a big tick from me! Anything that pulls your chain will give me a better model so . . . yay!

Kipples

Tengo dudas.... La mini que propongamos debe encajar en alguna de las expansiones que has hecho durante el año? En plan... "Me quedé con las ganas de..." O es una mini libre?

Juan Francisco Fernandez

Realmente me encantó la idea, muchísimo. Si no surge una gran cantidad de ideas para las minis, ¿puedo sugerir que durante el próximo año puedas hacer el resto de las minis que no puedas hacer a tiempo para diciembre? ¿Quizás 1 por mes, o cada 2 meses agregar 1 de ellos? Después de todo, creo que todos aquí estarían felices si pudieran hacer realidad su idea en algún momento, incluso si no es en diciembre. Gracias
