I've been experimenting with making some AI images for our adventure, and now I also have a full collection of them that I will be adding to each encounter when it happens.
But it seems like I can't add images to the polls after they've been posted, so I'm uploading the first ones here 🙈

"Adventurer! I'm in dire need of your help," he exclaims, his voice tinged with concern. "My beloved livestock has gone missing, and I fear they've wandered off into the wilderness. I've searched high and low, but I cannot find them anywhere. Will you aid me in finding my precious animals?"
His words hang in the air, and you can see the genuine desperation in the farmer's eyes. The fate of his livelihood rests in your hands. Eager to lend a helping hand, you agree to embark on a quest to find the lost animals.
Objective: Help Farmer Thomas locate his missing livestock and bring them back safely.
Upon investigating the surrounding area, you discover a trail of hoofprints leading deeper into the forest. As you follow the tracks, you suddenly find yourself face-to-face with a pack of fearsome dire wolves. It's a perilous encounter, and you must make a crucial decision to ensure your safety.
Welcome, Adventurers, to your first encounter! Select the option that you feel the most comfortable with, and let fate guide you towards the treasure!
Depending on the option chosen by most adventurers, the rest of the story will unfold, leading to an exciting journey with many possible outcomes!2023-07-16 21:51:37 +0000 UTC View Post
The sun-kissed waves of the open sea stretch endlessly, carrying upon them the whispers of distant lands and untold adventures. A weathered ship, battered by the trials of the journey, is cutting through the rolling waves, bringing you and your fellow adventurers towards the unknown.
Amidst the crew, you stand at the ship's bow, watching the morning sun slowly rise over the waterline, when a change on the horizon caught your eye. A faint outline emerges, gradually taking shape against the backdrop of the rising sun.
The wind dances through your hair as the ship gracefully cuts through the cerulean waters, nearing the shores of a small riverside town. Excitement and curiosity begin to fill the hearts of the adventurers aboard.
Gentle rays of the sun guide your gaze beyond the dock, where the river meets the land, revealing a charming town adorned with quaint buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. Your heart quickens with anticipation, for it is here, in this humble town, that legends speak of treasures and fabled artifacts still waiting to be discovered.
The ship anchors at a small pier, and with a mixture of relief and excitement, you step off the gangway, feeling the familiar sensation of land beneath your feet. As you take in the sights and sounds of this newfound shore, a sense of wonderment fills your heart. The town stands before you, and the townsfolk watch, their eyes filled with curiosity, noticing your arrival.
The townsfolk, a blend of artisans, builders, and traders, bustle through the streets, their eyes filled with dreams and stories waiting to be shared. Whispers of your heroic deeds have traveled ahead, and a silent recognition seems to pass through the air. They look upon you, the hero arriving by sea, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes, sensing that your arrival may bring forth the winds of change, and perhaps a remedy to the challenges that the town faces.
The tides of destiny have brought you to Havenbrook, where adventure, treasures, and the echoes of legends intertwine. Let your journey begin, guided by fate, as you discover the treasures that lie within the heart of this humble coastal town. 💜
As the first rays of the morning sun bathe the town in a soft, gentle glow, you embark on a new chapter of your journey. It starts at the docks, where the river meets the vast expanse of the sea. Fishermen mend their nets, sailors share tales of daring adventures, and the whispers of hidden coves and sunken treasures beckon you towards the untold riches that lie beneath the waves.
On the right, a small bridge gracefully arches over the river, leading you past a quaint church adorned with ornate stained glass windows towards the Warehouse District. Here, goods arriving from the docks find their temporary home, awaiting distribution and trade.
To the left, you notice the bustling Market Square, where the abundance of fresh produce, aromatic spices and captivating curiosities is matched only by the immense variety of foreign delicacies prepared at the food stalls. Here, the world converges on a single square, offering a culinary journey through different cultures and flavors.
Nested behind it is the Builder's Guild. Within its walls, skilled artisans and master builders shape the future of Havenbrook. Whispers of hidden chambers and forgotten blueprints circulate among the guild's members, its office holding the town’s old maps. As the sound of hammers and saws resonates from the workshops, the rest of the guild busily toils, crafting bricks, carving intricate details into wood, and forging sturdy metalwork, working together to bring dreams to life through construction.
If you choose to veer left from the Builder's Guild, your path will lead you to the Grand Library. This repository of knowledge holds ancient tomes, cryptic maps, and forgotten histories in its hallowed halls, offering a sanctuary to those who seek wisdom and enlightenment.
On the right side, the Artisan Enclave sprawls on both sides of the flowing river. Here, painters delicately brush vivid hues onto their canvases, sculptors bring stone to life, and potters mold clay into intricate masterpieces. It's a place where imagination flourishes and artistic wonders abound.
If you follow the streets further, you will reach a charming bakery. Outside, a collection of tables adorned with beautiful flowers transforms the bakery into a delightful sidewalk cafe where the sweet aroma of freshly baked pastries and the rich fragrance of roasted coffee beans welcomes the weary traveler. This bakery offers a haven of flavors, a place where the simple pleasure of sipping a cup of coffee and indulging in a fresh pastry becomes an experience that makes the time itself take a little break.
Stretching across the eastern part of town, the Farmstead comes into view. Fields of crops sway in the gentle breeze, tended by diligent farmers, and you can’t help but notice the lush nature that surrounds Havenbrook. The air is filled with the earthy fragrance of freshly turned soil and the sweet perfume of blooming flowers. Beautiful trees sway gently in the breeze, casting dappled shadows upon the cobblestone streets, and vibrant bushes and flowers adorn the town, adding bursts of color to the landscape. Along the riverside, delicate water lilies grace the tranquil waters, their vibrant blooms unfolding like nature's artwork, a reflection of the beauty that thrives in this coastal haven.
Take a moment to immerse yourself in the splendor that surrounds you and let your heart guide you towards the first chapter of your journey.
Where would you like to venture first?
(You are now choosing the theme of the current release, and through a series of mini-encounters you will reveal the monthly treasure chest!)2023-07-14 16:20:13 +0000 UTC View Post
Are you ready to enhance your treasure hunts and give them more personality?
These treasure chests have chains, gemstones and ropes, to give more character to your treasure troves! All of their parts are interchangeable, though they work best in their specific lid/base pairs.
What do you get?
The rope chest can be combined with any lid as the rope goes only around its base! Because of it, there is no new lid for it, and I included the "Uncommon Lid #3" for free with it, as the 13th extra part in the set!
These models are already in your MMF libraries!
ATTENTION! The models are currently unsupported, and I will upload the pre-supported versions for them as soon as I get them!
2023-07-02 11:51:32 +0000 UTC View Post
All inserts are now pre-supported and you can access them in your MMF libraries.
Have fun printing! 😊💜
2023-06-25 21:17:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello, everyone!
Finally finished repairing all of the May models! They are still unsupported, but I have already sent them for pre-supports and will upload those as soon as they are done 😊
WHAT'S INSIDE
A selection of the most essential inserts to use with your TREASURE CHESTS from my previous release. Pre-assembled variations of books, scrolls, weapons, potions, coins, alcohol, food and fruits!
All inserts have a flat base to allow for easy printing and cleaning.
I will be sending out the redeem links to all of you who were subscribed last month shortly 😌
And in a few days you will see previews of the June release, which is the more intricate versions of the treasure chests including some ropes and chains as well! 😀
Have a great weekend! 💜
2023-06-23 20:24:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! 😀
To be able to consistently release my models monthly I have decided to make a change to my Patreon's system!
Now we will embark on an exciting adventure together for a TREASURE HUNT!
To make my monthly releases more engaging and to give you all the ability to choose the theme for each and every month, I am changing the tiers in this way, starting in JULY. In JUNE you still get a full JUNE release in the next 2 weeks!
I will already update the tiers and unlock the new tier to let you switch before the next month if you want to be part of the lower one. However, for those who join my Patreon this month, the €1 tier will have no reward for JUNE, only the sale!! For those who are already subscribed, it would only change the amount you pay from JULY, as intended.
[NEW TIER] €1: Treasure Seeker (includes a treasure chest filled with a monthly set of models) -> This is the basic tier that offers only the monthly chest!
[CURRENT early bird €3 tier & full €5 tier] become €3: Treasure Hunter (monthly release, monthly adventure, throwback folder and voting for the next throwback, as well as a permanent 20% discount on my store and a 50% discount on new releases + bonus loyalty models for continuous support.)
Each month, your Treasure Chest awaits, carefully chosen by your fellow adventurers during the last month.
This is the monthly release.
And with a Treasure Map in hand, embark on a quest to discover future treasure chests. Each month, you have the chance to find a common, uncommon, rare, epic or legendary treasure.
All €3+ patrons will be able to choose how the adventure unfolds, follow a digital treasure map and "dig out" the chest that will become the next month's release! You will choose a region where to embark on a treasure hunt (which will determine the theme of the release), and based on the choices made by the majority of adventures, the next monthly release can be of a random rarity - common, uncommon, rare, epic or even legendary.
Participation is purely voluntary and is provided for your entertainment. You can also choose not to participate and you will still get all of the rewards discovered by your fellow adventures delivered straight to your MMF library (apart from the throwback folder which will be provided as a link to Google Drive)! 😊
Uncover an Ancient Treasure, buried underneath the distant lands for a monthly throwback. Gather your party and cast your votes to determine the next month's quest for the long-lost treasures!
This represents a throwback folder consisting of different models each month and based on the voting on which items you want to see most.
The Hero Shop offers a warm welcome to all treasure hunters. Enjoy a 20% discount on supplies for your adventures and an exclusive 50% discount on new arrivals.
This is a reference to my MyMiniFactory discounts.
And as a token of our appreciation, every three months all treasure hunters will receive an exclusive Furniture model as a gift from our Store.
And this is the loyalty program!
With the growing support of our Patreon subscribers, the number of monthly STLs expands, and the adventure becomes more detailed for even more fun without any change in price. Unleash your imagination and let the adventure unfold!
The current contents of the potential treasures:
All treasures include a variation of a treasure chest of that rarity!
Please note the change in the number of models that comes from the change in price from €5 (non-early bird standard tier) to €1. This amount of monthly models will be increasing with the increase in the number of patrons with the price staying the same!
The adventure begins in JULY!
If you like the updated €3 tier, I would be more than happy if you stayed in it, but if you want the monthly release to be more accessible to you, you are welcome to switch to the €1 tier 😊💜

Hello, guys!
I have worked hard to create a new system of interactive models for you to enjoy! Please welcome the Interactive Treasure Chests, my April's release! 🙈
I will be sending out the MyMiniFactory redeem links for those of you that were subscribed in April right after I publish this post 💜
These chests are designed to be fully functional and completely modular. Choose your favourite base and lid, take a .8 mm paperclip, metal wire/needle, a piece of filament or print a provided rod, and you get your very own tiny treasure chest that OPENS and CLOSES!
Fill it with any scatter you like or with pre-assembled chest inserts (available in the upcoming May release), and store your little treasures for the brave heroes to find!
The chests also have additional functionality (that still needs some testing, but hopefully it already works) - get 1x1 mm magnets and place them in the small holes in both bases and lids, and your treasure chests will stay snuggly closed, like a tiny lockbox 🥰
These models have by far my most advanced interactive system yet, and there will be more options for them and their inserts coming for you in the future, that will allow limitless possibilities for any kind of treasure!
In the upcoming May release, you will find the most essential inserts to be used with these chests, and here you can see a small preview of what I'm currently working on for them:
While in the June release, there will be more intricate versions of chests, including roped and chained ones!
As for the dates, I should be done with the May release next week, and most of the work on assembling June's chests is also done, so you should see both next sets also released by the end of this month!
I hope you will enjoy these little treasure boxes and find a good use for them in your collections! 😊💜
2023-06-11 19:28:12 +0000 UTC View PostDear patrons,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to start by expressing my sincerest apologies for the unexplained silence that has plagued my Patreon page over the past couple of months. It was never my intention to leave you in the dark, and I understand the frustration and disappointment that some of you may have felt during this period 🙁
Life often takes unexpected turns, and unfortunately, I found myself facing a series of unexpected personal and professional challenges during this time. As much as I wanted to continue creating and sharing content with you, I was unable to finish my releases, or even answer your messages in a timely manner. I deeply regret not being able to reach out to you much sooner to explain the situation, and for that, I am truly sorry.
However, I want to assure you that I have returned, fully committed and dedicated to providing you with the high-quality content you have come to expect from me. I have spent the past few weeks reevaluating my priorities, reorganizing my schedule, and regaining the creative inspiration that drives me, as well as working on new content that I believe will make your patience worthwhile.
To show my gratitude for your continuous support, I have also decided to host a small sale for those of you that have some of my things on your wishlist. You can use the code SHOPPINGSEASON to get 50% off any items in my store. This is a small token of my gratitude for your unwavering support and understanding during this challenging period. I hope it serves as a gesture of my commitment to delivering the content and experiences you signed up for.
I understand that you may have questions or concerns about the future and the consistency of my content moving forward. I assure you that I took every step possible to prevent any similar interruptions in the future. This also leads me to another announcement that will follow up soon, but in short - I will be decreasing the prices of my Patreon further and changing the monthly delivery to a more engaging system, creating a small adventure for you, which will "level up" the more patrons I get 😌
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly via Patreon messages or any other preferred communication channel. There are still messages that I didn't manage to reply to yet, but I will get to all of them in the next couple of days 💜
Once again, I deeply apologize for the disappointment caused by my absence 🙏 Thank you for being the amazing community that you are! Your unwavering support and understanding mean the world to me and motivate me to continue creating and sharing my passion! I am truly grateful for each and every one of you, and I look forward to sharing exciting content with you in the days to come.
Your Darkest Desire 💜

Hello, guys!
I'm so incredibly grateful for how patient and supportive you are with me, you truly are the best patrons any artist could ever hope for! 💜
I have barely been active, and didn't even manage to open Patreon in a while, as I was working hard on finishing both sets before the end of the month!
Those of you on Discord probably saw the reason for the delay. As I mentioned earlier, because I was barely getting enough money from my releases, and with the monthly income decreasing every month I had to start searching for a job to be able to cover at least the basic living costs 🙈
So I had to spend two weeks doing a test for my job application at the end of February, and then I suddenly got hired literally the next day after submitting it, even though they told me if they do it would only be starting from April. So I thought I would have plenty of time to finish both releases... but then! Suddenly I got a job, and since I really needed money, of course, I took it a month earlier. This left almost 0 time for me during the month for anything apart from sleep, work, getting home, doing the releases, then sleep, and repeat... since I only planned to do one release a month when I have a job, and not two at the same time 😥 But now I'm really glad that I finally managed and will have more time to do the next releases!
And for those of you who are wondering, I'm now Level Designer for Wild Life! Creating an open world map with all the locations, buildings and decorations in them for this survival (but adult) RPG 😇
Both February and March releases are done and uploaded to MMF, but unsupported versions (for now). I have already sent them for pre-supports, and will update the listings as soon as I get the supported files!
With these two mini-sets I'm finishing the Tavern theme (for now), and together we will decide which models you want to receive in the next few months in a poll that I will post next!
WHAT'S INSIDE:
BREAKFAST EGGS: Full, Half, and two in the egg holders.
VEGETABLES: Tomatoes (regular and with a stem and leaves), Potato, Baked Potato, Potato Wedge.
MEAT & FISH: Burger, Shrimp, Salmon Steak, Rib & Ribs Cut.
DISHES: Ketchup (or any other sauce dip) in a mini dip bowl, Eggs Plate, Tomato Soup, Fish n Chips, Salmon Platter with Potatoes, Lettuce and Lemon Slices, Burger Plate with Sauce & Fries, and a Ribs Platter with Potatoes.
SKEWERS: Grilled Sausages, Shrimps, Meat and a Shashlik with Meat & Red Peppers!
FOOD: Turkey, Chicken Wing, Steak, Champignon, Fish (one side with scales and another without, for double use) & three plates: Fish with Potato Wedges (medieval version of fish & chips), Steak Plate with Mushrooms, Potatoes, Tomato & Herbs and Steak with French Fries.
TABLES: Two new tavern tables for your collection! One is a vertical round table with an insert to hold the plates in the centre, and another one as a new version of the regular table, but with a new wooden texture and a hidden compartment made out of half a barrel to store something inside!
I have already sent out the redeem links for MyMiniFactory, but please contact me if you paid for the month but did not receive the corresponding set.

Hello, everyone!
I'm done with the January release, and all models have been sent for pre-supports.
If you were charged during January, you will find them in your MMF libraries (this is mostly only for those who subscribed for the first time or resubscribed after a break).
But, since most of you were NOT charged due to the change in tier prices, you can use the code TJAN1 to purchase it on MMF for $3.5, which is the price of the current tier you are on (so basically the same what you would have paid if you were charged last month).
The models will be pre-supported shortly, and the supported versions uploaded to the listing right away, but I decided to already release them in case you wanted to print them earlier :)
And the next set I'm working on is the February part of the Tavern dining, which should be done by the end of the month (or even a bit earlier) 😊
2023-02-13 18:34:36 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm a bit late with January previews, but I'm working on the set as much as I can, and as you can see, many models are already finished!
As I mentioned before, I have separated the FOOD part of the Tavern release into January and February, so releases of both months would consist of additional items you can use to turn your Tavern into a proper diner!
January release will consist of scatter only - a big selection of food you can serve in your Tavern. And yes, there will be some fast food included in it as well 😋
So far most finished models are from the bar/tavern snacks category, and this part is already done (nuts, chips, nachos and pretzels, - nom nom nom 🤤). And now I'm working on the main meals 😊
I will post additional previews soon once the next models are done as well :)
________________________________________________
Note. For those of you who haven't changed your Tier to the newly available ones. You were charged the old amount for February. And I will refund it to each of you and we will figure out a way for you to still receive my releases for their current price. But please, make the switch at least during this month, because manually refunding everyone each month, and then manually distributing the releases would be taking a lot of time 🙏
P.S. Does anyone have any pistachios left? 🤣 This release is making me extremely hungry 😂
2023-02-01 15:55:04 +0000 UTC View PostAny particular dish you want added to the Tavern food menu? 😏
2023-01-25 09:12:55 +0000 UTC View PostJust a little reminder for those of you who haven't switched yet, there is a limited amount of seats available in my Early Bird tier (for the price of just €3), and if you wait until the next month (or longer), your discounted seats would be taken by new patrons.
If you don't switch that would also mean that you won't be charged the new price, and I would have to manually provide each of you my future releases 😅
2023-01-24 14:55:39 +0000 UTC View Post
All files for the November Set have been presupported, and you should find the redeem links in your emails!
As I mentioned before, December release was skipped, and you will see the first previews of the January release in a few days!
In the meantime, please remember to submit your painting entries for the CONTEST if you want to get additional rewards. There are barely any entries submitted so far, so I will have to delay it until enough entries have been collected 😥
And now, please welcome... THE TAVERN!
A cozy medieval tavern, scaled for 32 mm miniatures, is a perfect set if you want to create a fully modular bar of your desired shape and fill it with any drinks you want!
WHAT'S INSIDE:
1. MEDIEVAL BAR
Combine a bar area of any shape you want with this fully modular set!
It includes a middle piece, inner and outer corners, an openable and rotating hatch for your bartenders to use, top bar posts with hooks to place the tankards on, a closing piece you can attach to the ends of the bar, and a stool. Plus a bar counter from my HERO SHOP release that you can use alongside it. Check out the rest of furniture models from it, as they will fit nicely with this mini set!
Bar pieces have special connections that allow you to attach them to each other in an unlimited amount of ways, and create any shape of bar that you desire, filling any room of your choice.
Different variations of ale kegs and wine barrels (open and closed), together with a wine rack to fill with provided wine bottles, and a standing barrel rack you can combine with little kegs and barrels.
Each of the ale kegs has a removable tap that can be inserted at your preferred depth or replaced with your own tap. Try making a leaking barrel by creating a scene with acrylic wine sprouting out of the tap hole!
A set of drinks to serve in your little tavern! Variations of wine bottles, plain and wicker, moonshine, champagne, whisky set with a beautiful decanter shaped as a female body, swirled glasses and a regular whisky bottle for those who prefer a more simple look. New tankards, empty and with beer (inluding a mini tankard that fits extremely well on the hooks of the bar top). And a set of cocktails to spice up the evening: Absinth (Green Fairy), Pina Colada, Lady Rose, Grapefruit Sunrise, Screwdriver and, of course, Martini! And if you enjoy meshmixing, you will find empty glasses together with small bits that you can use to create your own cocktails and print them yourselves!
(Please remember that those tiny bits, like little pieces of fruits, are offered in a very small scale to fit well inside the glasses, and they should not be printed separately without scaling them up)
Happy New Year! ✨
And as this year starts, just as I promised, my tiers have been replaced with new, cheaper ones! That includes an Early Bird tier that should fit all of my current patrons, for the price of just €3 :)
Please note that since I had paused the January billing and no one was charged for their previous tier amounts, Patreon also decided not to charge those who switch to these new, cheaper tiers this month (so this affects all who stayed subscribed in December).
So once the January set is done, I will create a discount for MyMiniFactory that will allow you to purchase it for the same price as your Patreon subscription (since Patreon won't bill you for January in this way)!
(New patrons who join this month will automatically get charged, so no action is needed in that case 😊)
Please remember to switch to the new tiers this month!
I hope you are enjoying the beginning of 2023 and I wish you all a happy Sunday! 💗
Also, for those of you who paid for December and missed my previous post, you can still contact me until January, 8th if you would like to get another one of my releases for your December pledge. And on January, 8th, everyone who has not contacted me about it will get their pledges refunded for that month :)
2023-01-01 18:30:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Happy holidays!
As I mentioned before, I'm preparing to re-do my Patreon from January onwards, so (even though I'm still figuring out how exactly I can lower the tier prices), you will NOT be paying the current tier prices in 2023 (if you get charged the amount, I will automatically refund it to you, so please don't worry 🤗)!
And because of my current delay of the first Tavern set, I have decided to refund everyone their pledge for December instead of releasing the December set in January. If you would like to get any of my previous releases in exchange for your December payment, please message me and let me know! Everyone else will just get them refunded :)
So, basically, you got a free month of presents instead :D
The currently expected first part of the Tavern release will be pre-supported right after the holidays for you to print and play 😊
And the 2nd Tavern part consisting of the ridiculous amounts of food and dining furniture will be divided between the next few months in my new monthly mini-releases (hence the lowering of all tier prices) :D
But in the meantime, please enjoy the 2nd part of my HOLIDAY SALE with 50% off selected releases from this collection: > CLICK HERE <
& use code: CHRISTMASMIRACLE to get them!
I'm also participating in the Winter Sale on MyMiniFactory, so you can get other releases with 30% off using the code CHRISTMAS30
I wish you all wonderful holidays and I hope I didn't disappoint you with my decision to refund December instead of delaying it for another month 😟
2022-12-26 14:46:29 +0000 UTC View Post
And now it's time for yet another set of presents!
WHAT'S INSIDE:
Everything you need to spend the cold winter nights sitting cozy in front of a fireplace, under a nice warm blanket and sipping a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows 😊💗

It has been a very hectic month so I want to apologise for not being very active this time! 😥
I have been working on creating a modular bar set for you to be able to make any shape you like, fitting it in every room. At this moment, the furniture is almost complete, and I will be making different drinks and cocktails as scatter in addition to it!
Since the Tavern theme on its own requires a lot of different kinds of furniture just to cover the basics of it, the amount of furniture models in this release is going to be bigger than in my last releases, and I have decided to separate the full Tavern into 2 months to be able to give you as many models as you would need to fit any Tavern!
November Set contains the drinking part of the Tavern! With a fully modular bar, wine barrels, ale kegs, wine rack and a lot of drinks! The furniture will match the one from the Hero Shop release, so you will also get a Counter from that release if you don't have one yet, plus the Champagne and Wine from my Romance collection.
The dining part with the new tables, a cooking fire and a big selection of different dishes for a proper feast you will see in the December Set!
I'm working hard to be able to complete the November Set as soon as possible, and I will post more updates about it in the next week. In the meantime, if you have any wishes regarding what drinks you want to see as scatter, please let me know in the comments 😊
And since my November Set is delayed, December release is most likely also going to be delayed for around 1 week. However, there will be no delay in January, and you can check below to see the current roadmap for my Patreon:
Week 1-2: Release of the November Set (the unsupported versions will be available earlier, but there will be some time in between to get the pre-supported ones).
Week 1-4: ADVENT CALENDAR! Every few days there will be a little surprise waiting for you on my Patreon, from my old releases to 24h sales! If you have any additional ideas for the calendar, please let me know :D I hope this little addition will bring everyone joy in this wonderful season 😊
And since there have not been many entries to the Painting Contest yet, I decided to extend the application period till the end of January, to give everyone more time to finish their projects 😌 (P.S. If you have a scene made with my models, please remember to submit your entry (-ies) for the contest!)
Starting from January I want to make my Patreon more accessible to every person who likes scatter and terrain. I decided to reduce the prices of my Tiers by offering smaller releases each month, which will also free some time for me to start working on my own modular terrain pieces and boardgames! I want to be able to offer not only the regular furniture and scatter, but also already pre-made terrain tiles that you can print in one go and combine in any way you want, being able to attach and remove parts of them to customise them even further, and if you want even more variation, you will still get my regular scenery models that you can place on those tiles!
I will also introduce the first part of the Loyalty Reward System that will allow everyone get parts of my previous releases for free and even get the free months to my Patreon! So even if you cannot afford to be subscribed, but still like my models very much, you will have another way of getting them :)
I hope that lowering my prices and the addition of this first part of my Loyalty Reward System will make everyone able to get my models without hurting the pocket in this current world crisis :)
Now, with the October release done and the collaboration released, it's time to talk about November! 😀
While we are waiting for the last 13 patrons to join before we can unlock Loyalty Rewards (wink wink), what are your thoughts on which models you want me to include in the November release?
What kind of tables do you want? What type of bar counters? Any food your heroes crave in their adventures? It's time to expand the Dining topic with a brand new tavern experience! :D

This month I'm doing a collaboration with an incredible artist who specializes in making highly detailed carefully crafted models of average size around 110-130mm - NERIKSON (Patreon | MyMiniFactory).
He creates unique and fascinating scenes with a backstory behind them, and even follow-ups with the same characters in different environments! A wonderful example of which is his currently released Priestess of Light, for which he also has a death scene called the Light's End.
And just look at the amount of details he adds to his models 😮
His dioramas are a great addition to your collection of magical characters, and even if you're more into the cyberpunk, you will still find models to your liking!
The models he offered for this collaboration are from the scene Youth Eternal. And you can already find them in your MyMiniFactory Libraries!
"Inspired by the legends of the Romanian Blood Queen, Eternal Youth is the fantasy version of this controversial character. Beauty, youth and dark forbidden magic all mix up in this gothic diorama."
But let's have another look at these characters! Do they remind you of anything else?
I was reminded of Snow White, who was poisoned by a beautiful Evil Queen. Is it the Snow White laying on the floor after tasting the poisoned apple (or the praline she took from the candy box, given to her by the Queen and innocently placed by me next to her 😋)?
Or is it the Snow White herself standing on the pedestal, turned evil by a curse, sent upon her by the Queen? Decorative lines on her arms resemble the way dark magic spreads through the body, and her beauty indeed earns the title of "the fairest of them all".
What story will YOU tell with this mesmerising scene?
❕ The scale I usually work with is 32 mm, so if you would want to create this beautiful scene that we've prepared for you, you would need to scale my models up: furniture x2, floor candles x1.2, food models x1.5 and separate fruits will fit well without any scaling, printed in regular size, as I already provide them with increased scale to make them 3D-printable.
And, as always, a reminder for merchants:
You can sell my part of the collaboration (as long as you're subscribed to my commercial license here or on Tribes), but to sell the full set you need to be a licensed merchant for NERIKSON (Patreon | Tribe) as well.
2022-10-25 18:05:15 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, a short reminder that the 2022 Painting Contest is open and you can already submit your beautiful scenes! You can read more about it here.
With the recent change to the stadard tier price it was time to introduce a cheaper option for those who cannot pay the full amount each month or are not sure if they want to get the full releases, making it more accessible!
Instead of my old tipping-only tier, this one, available for €1.90 / $2.00 will allow you to select which parts of my monthly release you want to obtain each month, making it a fully customizable subscription!
💚 How does it work?
Example:
💚 Please note that this discount only works on the models of the month you are subscribed for, not for the previous releases, and is only applicable to the parts of the release, but not the full set listing!
_________________________________________________________________________
🤍 I'm re-introducing the Merchant STL tiers both here and on MyMiniFactory for those of you who sell my models.
This tier used to be separated into a commercial license (available on MMF) and the standard subscription tier for the STL files, as I had the pay per creation billing in place back then. But as I'm back to the regular releases, the tiers get united again :)
If you are currently subscribed to my commercial license on MyMiniFactory, you can cancel the subscriptions and join the new Tier once November starts :)
_________________________________________________________________________
Now, once I get back to 150 patrons, I will introduce the Loyalty Rewards for those who stay subscribed! We're so close to this goal, it's almost reached!!!
At 200 patrons I will start making highly detailed modular Terrain that you can use in your campaigns or dioramas. I'm already working on the bases for the Terrain, and I can't wait to start making it for all of you!
And at 300 patrons I will add a Throwback folder with selections of my previously released models, changing each month!
_________________________________________________________________________
I would be eternally grateful if you spread the word about my Patreon to let us achieve all of these goals faster! 😊
2022-10-24 19:01:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
Patreon has implemented a significant change in the last few days, concerning every creator and patron on the website.
I have been using Patreon since February 2021, and until now all Tiers have always had stable prices, based on the price set up by creators in their default currencies.
But now, all Tiers on the whole website have been re-adjusted due to the current economy crisis we are experiencing. Which led to my default Tier price dropping from $9.00 to $7.50 in USD and a similar drop in all other currencies that are not Euro, since my account is set up in Euros.
And, as almost all of my subscribers pay in currencies that are different from Euro, most being USD, it resulted in a significant drop of my earnings, bringing me to amost 0 profit from a monthly release after deducting the pre-supports costs.
So I have to change the pricing of my Tiers to bring them back to the normal rates, reflecting this unfortunate move from Patreon as well as the increasing inflation rates. I have looked at the other similar Patreons and Tribes, and almost all of them have their main Tier listed around €10, so I decided to set up my new tier for the same price.
But, as a gratitude to all of you who are supporting me right now, I have decided to keep the old Tier, which was now forcefully discounted by Patreon, as an Early Bird Tier for all of my current patrons 💜
At this moment, the tier has a little bit above 130 patrons, so cancelling your subscription will remove you from the discounted tier and you would need to resubscribe at the full price of the new Tier, which is now €10 / $10.50. Once the amount of people on it drops to 100 or below, unsubscribing from it will also free a spot for a new person to join it, so it will work the same way as all of the other Early Bird tiers.
I understand that this change can make you uncomfortable, and I am sorry for it, but please understand that I need to make a living out of this, and maintaining the status quo is not viable for me. Before this change happened I was just at the edge of being covering the monthly costs, but with this drop it puts me in the minus.
In other news, books are ready and test-printed, so you will find them in your libraries tomorrow, and the current collaboration should be done tomorrow as well :)
I was going to release them both today, but this Patreon change had struck me hard and I didn't manage to concentrate anymore 😥
