• Kenku Casual 
• Elven Minotaur
• Yuan-Ti Original

Working on Umberlee and a Cthulhu model! Really happy with both so far!

First look at Umberlee!

I have re-started her twice at this point haha I have a specific feeling I want to get across with this model. I think I have it this time! I will be adding her tentacle hair next. 

Elven Minotaur is Finished!

It is in the "NEW APRIL MODELS" folder :)

Unique character commission! It was tricky balancing the elegance of an elf and the power of a minotaur.  This was another one of those special $50 commissions where it you give me some info, and I run with it. Very fun!

Upcoming April models!

After I finish Umberlee, these are the next requested models. 

It is going to be an awesome month! 

School is a bit demanding right now, but I definitely intend to get 12 models out still. 

Sculpting Minis Video and Rewards

Hi everyone!

I'm excited for another lovely month of sculpting and feedback from this community!

I've released a video talking about all the things to consider when sculpting minis for 3D printing. I go over 3 of my own models for examples.

Reward links are coming! These will be sent to you in a message by today or tomorrow. Depends when payment finishes processing. In the mean time, if you need a model to print you can go to my 2019-04-01 16:32:06 +0000 UTC View Post

I've joined MyMiniFactory!

Not terribly relevant to all of you, but it an easy  and organized way to see what my models look like printed. All the prints shown here were printed using the supported STLs I share with the $5 tier patrons.

Wolf Samurai - Done!

One of my favorite commissions I've done so far ^^

I'll be adding another 5 supported models for the $5 tier within the next few days. Waiting for the final few test prints to clear. 

$600 Goal Reached!

We hit over $600! This means I will release 12 models every month starting next month! Pretty exciting stuff! We are also 92% of the way to releasing 14 models a month. I'm graduating this May so I'm excited to have more time to put into each model as well.

(Pledges do fluctuate, but if I dip under $600 I am still going to release 12 models a month!)

I just finished the detail work on the wolf samurai. He will be posed and released tomorrow!

Umberlee Poll Winner!

This incredible piece will be the inspiration for the Umberlee model! You can admire the original artist here :  https://www.steveargyle.com/ . He has worked for Wizards of the Coast Capcom! Amazing!

I'm slightly intimidated, but also looking forward to the challenge. This one may take me a little longer, but it will be worth it! :D

Thanks for all the input! Your excitement makes me even more motivated to...

Custom miniature tier model finished!

Finished! Can be found under "NEW MARCH MODELS" folder!

This is the first model I've made for the custom miniature tier! So I will be sending a print of this model to that Patron, along with two other prints of his choosing!

 He sent a few helpful pictures that inspired the cloak and gloves. Listed below is the info I had him fill out.

Race : Catfolk

Gender : Male

Armor Type : Leather

Weapon : Longbow

Class : Ranger

Design Options for Umberlee

The search results for Umberlee are all over the place. It is unclear whether she has legs, tentacles, or a tail.

In summary she is a chaotic evil goddess of the sea. She is powerful, and oftentimes cruel. Similar to the ocean, she is apathetic at best. 

So which piece of concept art do you want my final design to resemble the most?
Feel free to link and comment your own ideas!

OPTION  1 : Human

Thank you!

Green bar: pledge increase

Red bar: deleted pledges

Blue bar: amount pledged at the end of the month

In February I decided to release my models for free and consequently pissed off a fair amount of people. I received a handful of hate mail of "I paid $3 for this, how dare you release it for free" and what not. So as you can see in February the red bar is fairly substantial. Surprisingly, it was still positive that month!

More Sky Whales!

Final set of sky whales! Enjoy :)

Quicksilver Wolf WIP

Awesome wolf samurai I'm working on for a commission! Per usual this will be shared with everyone :)

Sky whales will be coming soon!

First Custom Miniature Tier Model!

Raymond D. asked for a male catfolk ranger with leather armor and a longbow. He wanted a panther face so it looks pretty similar to my sailor tabaxi.
Excited to pose and share it with all of you!

In case you aren't sure what I'm talking about, I offer a custom miniature tier. The tier includes the following every month:

• Customized mini (you pick race, gender, weapon, armor, class)
• 3D print of the custom mini primed in grey
• 2 add...
