Hi everyone!
September was a fabulous month and I have way more planned for October. So much more that I decided to make a calendar so no one gets confused as to what is going on!
SUMMARY
I love how this came out! I fixated on the hands a lot. I play guitar so I know what it should look like more or less. It is such a weird balance between relaxed and strained movement so it was tricky. I'm happy with it overall!
My Kickstarter for Familiars for Beasts was two months ago. Which means the free release is here!! Patrons of course get these as well~ You will also get the baseless and simple base versions in addition to the separate decorative base!
$5+ Supporters will get the pre-supported files for resin 3D printing.
Part 1 release includes
Would you guys like if I made square bases too? I'm pretty sure I can take my current circle bases and make nice square versions too.
Alsoooooo..... Jack O' Lantern Golem is DONE!!
He was exceptionally challenging to design, but I love him now. The core package for the Kickstarter is completely filled out. 2019-09-25 22:03:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Kruthiks Model Release
Here is the Kruthiks! I have named my take on it "Insectoid". Creative, I know. I really love making creatures like this (and it is way faster for me). So. Keep requesting them! haha
Elven Blademaster Base
I took two ideas for the custom base and combined them! Someone asked for woodland, and another suggested weapons sticking out of the ground. So here we are! Huge thank you for all the input! Even the base ideas I d...
Hiya!
This is the same monster horse from the Haunted Horseman. Someone asked if it could be a separate piece earlier today, so here it is!
I also did some general quality improvements too.
Figured this fit nicely with all the Halloween models I'm working on anyway! ...

So this collage is the general direction I plan to go. I like the vine wrapped pumpkin monster, but I want the shapes to be a little better defined like the rock golem.
For the pumpkin patch scatter terrain, I plan to a make it pretty innocent and straight forward. Pumpkins, a Jack o'l Lantern or two, and maybe some crows.
Looking forward to your feedback!
What would you like to learn next? :)
Also, I put up an archive post for reference on the Learn to 3D Model page for easy navigation. www.m3dmprints.com/learning You can vote there, or here!

She's gorgeous and I absolutely adore the personality in this model! I'm starting a new campaign next week as a water blooded Genasi sailor... but now I want to use this model as my mini.
I'm going to give her a custom base. Just not sure what. Any ideas?
I teach a completely free 3D modeling course at Root Access once a month. I've been able to meet a lot of you lovely people in person which is beyond cool!
I'm at Root Access a lot, and I would nothing more than to hang out and model with you guys! So I'm sharing my schedule on my website. You can see when I will be there by clicking here. I'll be adding more meet-ups for O...

The draft is pretty bare bones. Lots of updates with new content to come~

Now, I want to make sure I shine light on non-Kickstarter models. (I love all my childre...
What: I have opened a Discord server for 3D Printing Support! This can be for any 3D prints. Not just my designs. (If you aren't familiar, Discord is a chat room essentially)
Why: Because lets be real, half the time your printer seems to throw a fit for no reason. I answer questions for strangers all the time, and that seems a bit ridiculous because I'd rather be helping the people that support me!
How it Wo...
2019-09-12 23:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe vote on the website is perfectly tied right now, and there wasn't very many votes so I'm posting the vote here for convenience! Normally I do post in both places and take the aggregate, I will keep doing that.
Option 1: Arm stretched out, beckoning
Option 2: More elegant, I'll give her a creepy head tilt to keep the tortured look
I have a few things to share today!
For all Patrons
For $3+ Patrons
New model release! Also working on the Elven Bladesinger :)
Release Summary
This will be the free model for my upcoming Kickstarter. Meaning she will be released for free the day of launch, September 16th!
I was originally going to release my Forest Guardian instead, but I really came to love this model. Plus, she is FDM and resin friendly which is very important to me!
Other than her chin and a small edge of her hat, she is almost support free too! She will have a bubbling cau...
Hello everyone!
I've started modeling for my Kickstarter launching in 10 days! I already have a list of 14 models with 14 matching pieces of scatter terrain.
I still want to know what you'd like to see! I may adjust my list accordingly~ If you suggest it, I'll let you know if it is already planned ;D
An all-in pledge will be $10!

He's adorable and tiny and ready to cause lots of problems!

The last intro video on my Patreon page was a bit outdated. So I added a new one to my YouTube today to clarify a bit! :)
This should be helpful to you if you joined in the last month to know what I'm all about.
Thank you for all of your support!! August was fantastic! I'm psyched for September. I will be launching my next Kickstarter and completing the top 3 model requests.
Best!

So that means I will be sculpting the elven bladesinger, a kruthiks, and a female human bard! Thank you so much for voting!

These are some models I have planned! Let me know what you are most excited for, and if you have any ideas of your own :)
Remember, the theme is Halloween! So anything spooky~
This is what I have to show so far!
Forest Guardian
Top 2 will be modeled for sure! The other three will be put into the next poll for one more shot. If the 3rd place model is really close to 2nd place, I may model it anyway :)
Note: This poll is public so the followers know what's coming up too. Keep in mind if you are not a Patron, your vote will not count.
Want to submit your own model request? Go here~&...

Super excited for this KS! It will be all Halloween themed and just generally spooky.
Every model will have a complementing scatter terrain piece.
SPECIAL OFFER
Starting now, all $3+ patrons will have access to vote in polls regarding my upcoming KS. You will be able to vote on models, poses, and scatter terrain.
There will be 1-3 polls a week until the last week of September. The first poll will be tomorrow!

How does this work?
Leave a comment below of what you want to see me model :)
Priority is kinda complicated. To simplify it, priority goes to Patrons that give the most and supported the longest.
Your requests will go into a poll for everyone to vote on! Polls have 5 models. The top 2 will get modeled. The bottom 3 will go into the next poll for a chance to win.
What can I request?
Anything! Th...

His royal cuteness has been released!
He can be found under the folder New August Models!
Oh my he is coming out so cute! Which is funny because I almost gave up on this model. The head was really alien and disfigured for about an hour. It was definitely a humbling process haha See the process of making him here !
I go over some polycount tips for making clean armor as well!

I want to feature at least 3 people a week, so don't be shy! :) You can submit your cool stuff here. I have 2 more submissions lined up, but I want to see from more people ^_^ I really love seeing them regardless of print skill level~

Here she is!! I'm really happy with her. She looks proud and fierce~ I toyed with giving her arms more muscle tone. I definitely want to do more body variation in the future. I'm happy that my faces look different, but the bodies need some work! My next two models are an elf and a mouse knight. So, you want see the body variation yet, but soon! haha
