Exclusive Patreon Model - Bear Warrior with Bear Mount

Some you may recognize this guy! I made him awhile back, but he was an exclusive rights commission. I can't share him for free on Thingiverse per the agreement, but I'm able to share this model with you guys now :)

As you know, I'm really not about "exclusive Patreon models". But sharing it with you guys is better than sharing it with no one!

Hope you like him!

P.S. In case you aren't familiar with the lingo, exclusive rights means that the client keeps the copyright ins...

Next free model preview! (and Kickstarter madness)

So the Kickstarter blew past all stretch goals. We are almost to $3000. May have underestimated that just a bit.... I'm absurdly grateful. $3000 is way more than I have ever made in a month. That's almost 3 months worth of expenses for me and my boyfriend... So this is mind blowing.

I'm addin...

NEW Kickstarter Stretch Goals Poll

Pardon 3 posts in a single day! Today was just insane. We smashed through $2000 in one day.  (I may have cried a little bit.) Obviously I don't expect to keep this pace haha But I want to offer more goodies still!

(I swear, I really thought $450 of stretch goals was a solid funding stretch... That's more money than a full work week of income for me usually!!)

The top 5 winners of this poll will be new stretch goals :)

Kickstarter FUNDED!

Are you guys serious?! JEEZ. Over $300!  We've almost reached all of my stretch goals haha

I'm floored. It is Day ONE. I know you guys are amazing, but I did pretty much no advertising for this. I didn't think there was anyway this would jump so high, so fast. I'm humbled and filled with gratitude.

I'm going to do my absolute best with these models :) 

My Kickstarter is LIVE!

Woo! So excited to have it launched!

A video will be released on Monday with an overview and a showcase of some prints. Both FDM and resin prints ;)

Summary

• 10 animals
• 2 poses each
• 20 models total
• $10 for everything

There are an additional 10 animals in stretch goals with two poses each. For a potential of 40 models for $10. 

$5.50 tier patrons and higher will still be voting to deter...

Kickstarter Inisder : 4 Model Preview! (And scaling poll)

So the model on the far left is the Victorian Gentleman. He isn't part of the Kickstarter. He was released a few months ago. He is purely there as a scaling reference for this poll. He is 28mm from foot to eye level and on a 25mm base. So, true 28mm scale meaning he's about 6 feet tall.

The animals are technically too big by 2 - 3 mm. But the smaller the m...

Early KS spider release, YouTube videos, and more

Early KS Release

The spider has printed supportess on both my FDM and resin printer! I have now shared it with all of you :) Fun little Patreon exclusive for now. Kickstarter launches June 17th!

New YouTube Videos!

3 things that keep me motivated as a freelance artist

New model! Bluejay Guardian (my new favorite model)

I think I have wings mostly figured out now! And yes, there is a little birdie in her hand.

So this lovely lady was a commission. The gentleman commissioning it had a great concept. He simply sent some pictures of a bluejays and described a human guardian of nature sort of figure.

So this is what I came up with! The spear was completely his idea, and I think it turned out great.

This month I have been able to be much more picky with what commissions I ac...

Kickstarter Insider! - Wolf Poses Poll and Unicorn Teaser

Kinda drawing a blank for poses for the wolf. What do you think?
I need two poses. One for casual, one for action. So I encourage you to vote twice!

Alsooo~ A sneak peak of the unicorn action pose! I took the #1 option from the poll, and this is what I came up with! I haven't touched the seams up at all yet. So there are lots of awkward gaps and seams for now. 

...

Kickstarter Teaser (and details on my first DnD session!)

I have designed an entirely support-less model for my Kickstarter! Behold, the casual pose for the  spider! It is fitted to a 25mm diameter circle base. So it'll fit nicely on any standard mat! Of course you can scale and print as you please~

Also... I finally played my first ...

Tiefling Warlock model release!

This is the model I made for one of the $5.50 tier winners. Easily one of the more interesting models I've ever done! I learned a lot making this. 

Kickstarter - Cat model reveal and action pose poll!

Here is the cat casual pose! I haven't finished detailing the fur, but you get the general idea. I've always had cats growing up. I modeled this one after one of my favorite pets who was a Maine Coon. I've always loved that breed because they look like mini-lions :)

I wanted the casual pose to be nearly support less. I succeeded with that, but now for the action pose! What do you have in mind?...

$1000 Goal Passed!

This means that on July 3rd I will pick two people to receive a custom model and print made by me :)

Exciting stuff!

Over 100 of you give $1 a month. Crazy how far even $1 can go :) Thank you so much!

No video today! - Power Outage

I was about 3 miles away from home with my boyfriend when the power went out. Meaning none of the stop lights worked haha It was pretty funny, and took about 1 hour to get home. It would have been funnier, but it was 99 degrees and the A.C. in the truck doesn't work. We will have enough money for a new car next year 😁

The power is estimated to turn back on in about 4 hours. I wasn't able to get any modeling done before then which is a bummer. Worst case scenario I push the Kickstar...

Model Teasers~

I'm working on a special commission that will be released within the week. Working out some pose details with the client :) She's modeled after a bluejay.

Yesterday I had my $5.50+ tiers vote on an action pose for the unicorn. Here is the un-posed base version!

And here is the model for the winner of last month's $5.50+ custom model! It is very, very close to done and will be released t...

Kickstater Unicorn Action Pose!

Hello!

Here is my first decision point for the upcoming Kickstarter! I will have one of these about every 2 days.

Here is the unicorn! This is the base sculpt, meaning it hasn't been posed for casual or action yet. The casual pose will be a simple head tilt with some motion in the legs. But for the action pose there are lots of good options!
What would you like for the action pose?

New Request Board is Up!!

Go nuts. I need at least 5 requests to get 16 models done this month! :D

If a model is especially unpopular in the poll, I may not model it. I'm talking like two or zero votes. There was a good amount of interest for the everything on the last poll. So the upcoming models are:

• Cyberpunk angel
• Anime beholder (I don't even know how I'm going to start this one hahaha)
• Sheela Peryroyl

I will be pushing the Phantom Chariot to next mo...

Kobold Wizard release!

You can thank J. Ragsdale for requesting this beauty for being one of the $5.50+ winners! This is my 14th model for May! Next month, I will be releasing 16 models a month thanks to the ridiculous amount of growth this May. And don't worry, I'm not overworking myself! I love to work hard, but I definitely know how to pace myself.

Thank you for the fantastic response to my Kickstarter announcement! I was already excited, and now even more so! I'm so g...

Kobold WIP and Poll

I meant to have this guy done today, but I'm still working out some pose details with our  $5.50 tier winner! He'll be done within the next few days :)

Kickstarter official announcement video coming tomorrow!! I'm going over everything from pricing to each model.

Poll - Baseless, decorative base, and simple base versions?

I was thinking of ...

Kickstarter Teaser!

Here are 2 out of the possible 20 models! Both of these models are a work in progress. I will be adding enhanced details and pose to ensure successful prints for resin and FDM! The owl will be getting his own little branch to perch on for example. 

I'll be releasing a video this Friday with all of the details and the launch date!

In the mean time, here is a new video about ho...

Dragonborn Enchantress and Poll

New Model Info

Thanks to Mark G. for requesting a dragonborn! I have a lot of warriors, rogues, etc, but not  a lot of magic minis. So here is a female dragonborn enchantress! Something unique~ I modeled the spell in her hand to be pretty vague so you could paint it as water, fire, or shadow. 

Poll Question - Why do you support me?

This month I grew a lot on Patreon and as an artist. I want to make sure I keep it up! So my que...

New Video : Post-Processing Resin Prints

An in depth video of post-processing resin prints. Covers everything from removing it from the build plate to priming for paint.

Side Notes

• Dragonborn will be released tomorrow. I will probably live stream later today.
• I'm going to end up with "Pay for Exclusive" models. I'm collaborating with some Kickstarters and I will be retaining the rights to the models. Though it just feels rude to release them for free especially since all of the funds wil...

Dwarf Death Cleric and Important Dates

I had fun working on this commission~ My first dwarf, and I'm pretty happy how he came out. The guy commissioning it isn't a huge fan of the dwarven aesthetic, and neither am I. So we found a nice middle ground!

Also, I can release a version without the hat if you guys prefer!

Important Dates for the rest of May!

May 27th: YouTube video - how to post-process resin prints

May 28th: Dragonborn model release

May 29th: Kickstarter Teaser - 2 model ...

Aurumvorax! The 8 Legged Beast and New YouTube Video

Thanks to Jim M. for the unique request!
Also known as the Golden Gorger, this is every druid's dream companion. For a moment, I planned on doing an action pose. But. 8 legs. EIGHT. haha Still really happy with the end result!

New Model! Head Enchantress - Lady of Pain Inspired

This was requested by Audrey-Anne L.! 

She specifically asked for the Lady of Pain, but I deviated a bit. This can be definitely be used as a Lady of Pain but... I decided to give the model a different name anyway. Hope you still like it Audrey, and thanks for your support!
