UPDATE: The last files have been uploaded and can already be accessed by you on MyMiniFactory :)
Hello, everyone!
I have sent you the redeem links for all pre-supported models that I just uploaded to MyMiniFactory and you can find them in your Library.
There will be extra books scatter to use with the new bookshelves, but they will be available in a week. You can already print and use all the other models, they're pre-supported and test printed!
I'm also participating in the Halloween Sale on MyMiniFactory and you can get 30% off this spooky selection using a code DARKHALLOWEEN. It consists of my October models, previous DUNGEON release, potions and candles.
OCTOBER SET
PUMPKINS:
4 different pumpkins with no cuts.
4 hollow Jack'O'Lanterns for LED up to 5mm: scared cute little pumpkin, scary Jack'O'Lantern, nightmare Jack'O'Lantern, and low battery pumpkin.
4 solid Jack'O'Lanterns for manual painting of the light.
2 pumpkin caps to close the LED lanterns if used without LED.
(no battery holder included)
MYSTIC SET:
MAGIC ORB (Crystal Ball), to be printed in transparent resin with a landscape/clouds inside! Add a drop of ink to the upside-down Orb, wait until it's dry and turn it back up - you will have a magical artifact with 2 different colors! After that color the legs into the metal of your choice and the Orb is done π
MAGIC CRYSTAL with a CRYSTAL HOLDER.
OUIJA Board for a seance to summon spirits, with gems and candles.
MAGIC BRAZIER lit up by crystals and enchanted with runes (separated into a stand, bowl and a connector ball, and compatible with the BRAZIERS set), with the Crystal Bowl that can be placed separately.
MYSTIC TABLE & CHAIR.
TRICK OR TREAT BOWL with candies and an empty MYSTIC BOWL.
TAROT CARDS: back, front, 2 cards and 3 cards scatter.
MYSTIC (witch) CAULDRON with a magical glowing BREW that is printed separately, preferably with transparent resin, and a version of the cauldron without a handle.
COFFINS:
COFFIN + LID, printed separately.
COFFIN BOOKSHELF, for a perfect spooky scene!
CHAINED COFFIN, closed, to keep your enemies inside :D
MAGICAL BOOKCASE with BOOKS:
NEW BOOKSHELF + removable DRAWER to put something small inside.
WIDE BOOKSHELF for especially long items or even swords!
LEFT & RIGHT BOOKSHELF sides that can be attached to themselves, or regular and wide bookshelves. To create a full bookshelf wall fitting almost any room!
LEFT & RIGHT CURVED BOOKSHELF sides that can be attached to the ends of your bookshelf wall to make them more elegant with a bit of flair.
2 SPIDER WEBS, printed separately, that you can glue onto the bookshelves, or any other models. They are made quite sturdy to survive the 3D printing, but you can scale them down if you want.
and 12 separate BOOKS to fill the bookshelves with: potion bottle book, logo book, love book, tarot book, 2 arcane books, 2 plain books and 4 rune books.
First images of the October models are already here!
Since it's the month of Halloween, there will be plenty of spooky models for you, but also some neutral ones, like the new bookshelves and new books, as I know how much everyone loved my old release π
This big triple bookcase is modular, (or at least I'm trying to make it modular π), so you can combine as many bookshelves as you want to fill the full wall of your library or room. And the tiny drawer is separate, so you can even place something inside :D
Multiple coffins to hide bodies in: a separate bottom and lid, to place them however you want, an assembled chained coffin with someone probably still locked inside and a coffin bookshelf that still needs a few more adjustments, but is also almost ready :D
And pumpkins that want to become Jack'o'lanterns, of course :D
The release will happen again in the middle of October, with most of the spooky models available in the beginning of the month, so that you can print them all for Halloween :)
This month we have a collaboration that will let you get a proper dungeon with special tiles! Andrew from Milestone Heroes provided us with 2 full sets of terrain for a dungeon! Base Dungeon Set from his Welcome Pack and Cultist Lair Expansion! Redeem links for the files have already been sent π
I hope you will enjoy using his tiles and check out his patreon and store on MiniHoarder. Andrew doesn't use MyMiniFactory, but MiniHoarder is a great alternative to it, and I also have a small store on that platform :D
A few words from Andrew himself:
"Milestone Heroes is dedicated to bringing your visions to life with high-quality, support-free, modular gaming terrain. I take great pleasure in creating fantasy terrain that is highly reusable, printer-friendly, and strikes a practical balance between realism and playability. 3D terrain should be so much more than a grid to track players' movement. For me, the terrain should reflect the players' environments and the perils of adventure and provide the opportunity for heroes and villains alike to take the high ground.
Reminder for merchants: You can sell my part of the collaboration (as long as you're subscribed to my commercial license on MMF Tribes), but to sell the full set you need to be a licensed merchant for Milestone Heroes as well.
I'm excited to announce the first painting contest! There will be 2 categories, depending on your skill of painting, and a lot of winning places!
You will have 3 months to create a mini-scene using any of my models, on any theme you want! You can also submit any of your works with my models that you have already finished. And you can also paint models printed for you by someone else. It's important not to use any character miniatures though, as they will switch the focus from the scenery to them :)
I hope you will have plenty of time to complete any project you want to work on, and the ease of painting furniture/scenery would motivate many of you to try competing in it. I have included a lot of prizes, and every participant will also receive an exclusive miniature that I will make for this contest!
PRIZES: ASPIRING ARTIST:
1οΈβ£π₯ Request a furniture/scatter model for my new set or a variation of any existing or new model + $50 gift card for my store + 3 months of Patreon.
2οΈβ£π₯ Request a scatter model for my new set or a model variation + $30 gift card for my store + 2 months of Patreon.
3οΈβ£π₯ Request a model variation + $20 gift card + 1 month of Patreon.
If there is more than 1 person qualifying for the same place, both of them will get the prize, but there will only be one first place.
NOVICE:
1οΈβ£π₯ Request a model variation + 3 months of Patreon.
2οΈβ£π₯ $20 gift card + 2 months of Patreon.
3οΈβ£π₯ $10 gift card + 1 month of Patreon.
COMMUNITY AWARDS: π 1 month of Patreon (chosen among the rest of participants by voting).
NOTES: πΉ Requested model should not be interactive or modular, as doing those would significantly increase the amount of time needed for them.
πΉ Requested models can be done for any of my future sets, it doesn't have to be the next release, but it needs to fit the themes I will be working on, since the final model will be added to that release.
πΉ Requested variation can be done for models of my past releases or for any of my upcoming releases. The variation shouldn't make it a completely different model, you can refer to any of my previously made variants of models for comparison.
GIFT CARDS Can be redeemed for either models or commercial license: πΉ $20-$30 for 1 month of commercial license, $50 for 2 months,
πΉ or for the items you select on MMF from my store, where the total amount would be around the gift card value (i.e. the $10 gift card can be used to buy anything that is priced up to $12.99).
πΉ The gift card is not combinable with other promotions and discounts on MMF, it is based on the default price of models, without VAT or tax, of course.
πΉ If you want to redeem your gift card at a later date, you will receive it as a digital image which you can save for a later use or transfer to another person as a gift.
CONTEST RULES:
πΉ To be eligible for participation, you need to be my patron (of the regular, Treasure Chest tier) for at least 1 month during the contest period (October-December).
πΉ You don't have to have a 3D printer to participate, you can also do so by painting models printed by your friends or one of my official merchants.
πΉ You can submit more than 1 entry, but you can only receive 1 prize.
πΉ You can also submit any of your works with my models that you have already finished. But for the future contests you won't be able to submit scenes that have already participated in it before.
πΉ To submit an entry, please post the images of your scene in any 3D printing community (reddit, facebook, discord, etc.) mentioning that the models came from me, and attach a screenshot of it to your entry. People need to see the beauty you are going to make :D
πΉ Please attach the screenshot of your post together with your patreon name and photos of your scene in your email here: darkestdesire3d@gmail.com, mentioning the category you are submitting for.
πΉ Submissions begin on October, 1st and last until December, 15th, with winners being announced around Christmas. Get yourself an additional Christmas gift by choosing to participate in this contest ππ
SUBMITTING AN ENTRY:
πΉ All models for your scene must be painted by yourself.
πΉ You can use any of my models to create your scene, and even add a bit of the models done by other artists, as long as they are not character models.
πΉ The models you use shouldn't be modified, but kitbashing is alright as long as you also use unmodified models for it. So the models in a way they were released. You can scale them as much as you like to adjust their sizes to fit your theme perfectly.
πΉ To submit an entry, you need to take at least 3 photos of your scene from different angles. Photo quality counts, especially if you don't provide close-ups to show off the details. Photos with extremely low quality will not be evaluated.
πΉ If you edit the photos to change the way they look (apart from minor changes like saturation, contrast, etc.) then you should provide both versions (before and after editing), to make sure no major detail of the painting technique has been changed and no overpainting has been done in the software.
The judges for the contest are still to be determined, but you can also apply to be one as long as you are not participating in the contest yourself.
Hello, everyone! It came to my knowledge that for some people the bookshelves I had from the Library Set were failing while printing. This issue was only related to the assembled bookshelves, not the modular ones you have from the welcome pack.
I have just re-uploaded the modified supported files on MyMiniFactory. So if any of you also had an issue with them, you can try printing them again π
All models from my September release have been pre-supported and uploaded to MyMiniFactory! Redeem links have been sent π
WHAT'S INSIDE: TORTURE CHAMBER (50 models):
Traditional dungeon scenery with interactive models to furnish your perfect prison and a torture room.
β’ 4 interactive CAGES with rotating doors. All you need to make them work is to find a small paperclip, wire or a little needle up to 0.8 mm in diameter, and insert it from the hole in the bottom, making it go through both the frame of the cage and the door hinges.
β’ TORTURE FURNITURE: prisoner CHAIRS (empty and with restraints), PILLORY with adjustable height, and a TORTURE RACK with rotating wheel that you attach to the chain barrel, making it move and insertable spikes! Shackles on both rack and the pillory are openable as well.
β’ 28 models of BRAZIERS and TORCHES, extinguished and burning, that you can place on floor or attach to walls. Tall braziers have modular bowls with fire/coal that you can rotate 360Β° to choose your favourite angle!
β’ 14 holding cell-themed models: folded rope and rope pile, different chains and metal shackles for prisoners to place on floor or walls, and a key for cages or handcuffs.
BDSM PLAY (30 models): NSFW addition to the "dungeon" theme, focusing on the dark side of romance. Transform your dungeon into a sex dungeon!
β’ You will find a DUNGEON BED with toys, chains, restraints and suspension points where you can attach your chacarter with threads. Bed can be used with or without the top part, or even with the draped top from my previous release.
β’ Detailed modular MANNEQUINS (including versions with shibari and harness),
β’ and extra BDSM-themed SCATTER: restraints, collars, handcuffs, leather whip, mouth ring and ball, Π°n*l plugs and a d*ldo sΠ΅x toy.
Preview images containting sensitive content have been censored for Patreon and main images for MMF, but you can find uncensored versions in your downloads and at the end of the MMF images :)
I have two posts for today! This post is about the changes I'm making to my page and the next one will be with the files for my September release π
First of all, I'm going back to the monthly release schedule!
You probably already noticed that it took me much less time to prepare the current release (compared to my last few), and now I'm ready to go back on schedule :)
My billing system is now also back to the one you're most familiar with, used by all other creators - monthly billing with charge up-front.
The change in the billing system doesn't affect any of my current patrons, you already paid for the September release in the beginning of this month, and your next charge would be for my October release in the beginning of October.
But new patrons will now be able to access my current monthly release right away, together with a welcome pack, every month until the said month ends. So.. all is back to normal :D
Now I will be making new releases approximately once a month, and in case of a delay everyone will ofc be refunded the month that I skip (if that happens). In a few months you will also be able to subscribe to me on Tribes as well if you prefer them more than patreon.
What will you get in my monthly releases? You can expect to see 5-10 furniture models, including modular furniture and from now on also interactive scenery! And apart from furniture, each set will contain 30+ scatter models, with modular parts where possible as well :)
I was initially planning on creating a new tier for the modular and interactive models, but I decided to keep them all in my regular tier for all of you :) The only difference is that there will be less furniture models in overal, but they will be of a more premium quality, as you will be able to move things around in them to have more fun :D
I'm just starting to learn how to make interactive models, so the quality of their parts will also be improving :)
Current release already has 10 furniture models, but if you check the amount of total parts, the total is much higher π
And in a few months I want to show you my first terrain tiles π Now to the next post :D
This is just an announcement that you will be charged tomorrow for the upcoming September release :)
As I mentioned in my previous post, the release is almost complete and will be available for all of you around the end of the first week of September π
I will also return to the regular monthly schedule soon as well, so the payment system will also return to the same one as on the other Patreons :)
This set is almost complete! 2 more furniture models finished - a Prisoner Chair (version with restraints and without), and an interactive Pillory! Both shackles can be opened on top, and it can be adjusted for 2 different body positions, one standing, and another one on knees with legs in shackles. With rings added for more flair, instead of a regular X rack :D
I'm still finishing up a special bed with restraints and a torture rack, and that will be all the furniture for this release! So, almost all done! π
After that more scatter consisting of chains, restraints and a little bit of NSFW (BDSM) models that can be easily used for an extra touch you can add to your scenes :D
This release will be finished around the first week of September, so I will be creating a paid post on August, 31st, and you will be billed for this release on the 1st of September (basically, the same way as if I had a monthly billing system, and this would be Patreon charging you for my September release π)
I already sent all the finished models for pre-supporting, so it should take less time between the release itself and the supported versions. However, this time I will also share the unsupported versions as soon as the whole set is complete (in case someone wants to print them all earlier), and then you all will all get links to redeem the current release once it's pre-supported and I upload it to MyMiniFactory.
You also probably noticed that I'm getting back to speed and will soon return to my regular monthly releases :D
Oh, and there will be a collaboration for the current release! But sadly no, not for female characters that you can use in this setting π But maybe another artist will make some for it later on ;)
Second part of the Dungeon release is also done and now being pre-supported!
These are Dungeon Cages or prisoner Holding Cells for your adventures!
They come in various sizes and bars variations, and each of them has a fully rotating door! All you need to make them work is to find a small paperclip, wire or a little needle up to 0.8 mm in diameter, and insert it from the hole in the bottom, making it go through both the frame of the cage and the door hinges. In just one easy step you will be able to make fully realistic cages that you can interact with!
The small cage (for animals, monsters, or... pets π) and the solitary (metal) cell have unique doors, but the two other doors can be attached to both the big cage and the square one!
So far I've been mostly focusing on releasing already pre-assembled models and modular items, but I've decided that it's time to add more flair :D
You can look forward to seeing more of the interactive scenery in my future releases as well!
I'm working on the next set, the name of which is still to be determined, but the theme is what I've been promising you all for the last few months, it's a naughty set! :D
It was initially planned to be part of the Romantic release, but since I wanted to make more regular romantic models, these ones were moved to a separate set, to get all the attention they deserve :D
So yes, this release will cover the dark side of the romance, and for those of you who are not interested in this side (or pretend not to be π), the models in this release will be (mostly) multi-functional. So you can either have a proper Dungeon's Torture Chamber or Holding Cells for your adventures, or something that covers the second definition of a "dungeon", with much more pleasure involved :D
And the first mini-set of this release is already done and will be sent for pre-supporting to reduce the waiting time after the release! Different Braziers and Torches to place on the floor or attach to the walls, both extinguished and alight, and the big braziers are modular with rotatable fire pits, so that you can adjust which fire bowl you want to place and what side of the fires you prefer.
Smaller Braziers have less variations and the connector holes in them would be too big for the models, so I decided to keep them assembled for better printing results.
Next time you will see the holding cells and the "torture" (π) racks π
I've been thinking about it for a while, and I want to start doing painting contests for my models! Since I release scatter and furniture, it's easier to paint, so I hope it will encourage more people to try :)
To grasp how many people would like to participate, I decided to make this poll.
The theme of the contest will be making a mini-scene using any of my models. You can make a nice table setting for your heroes, a room in a house, or anything else you can come up with! However, it should be scenery only, without adding character miniatures π
And the requirement for participation would be to be subscribed to my Patreon.
Since many of you have different paiting skills, I decided to separate the contest into 3 categories:
Novice - For those of you who are new to miniature painting π€
Aspiring Artist - Those who have experience painting miniatures and have acquired different skills in enhancing the models π
and Professional - Category for those whose art became their profession or they're so extremely good at it that people wonder how is it even possible π
As for rewards, I'm thinking of offering X free releases on Patreon, Gift Cards for my store, and offering a model to be designed according to the winner's wishes for my next release. The amount of rewards will depend on the category and the winning place :)
Please select a category you would be interested in joining. This poll is simply to test the waters, the official announcement of the contest will follow up later :D
And if you have any suggestions about the theme, rewards, or anything else for the contest, I'd be happy to read them in the comments :D
As you noticed, there was a HUGE amount of models in my recent release so it took the whole 3 weeks to get all of them pre-supported and test-printed. Today the last model was test-printed and I have uploaded all of them to MyMiniFactory!
This release was combined from what you paid for back in January (if you were subscribed to my old account), and expanded, to include even more items, as an apology for not releasing new sets for such a long time π
Since it was so big that it actually covered 2 full releases, I have separated it into 2: DATE NIGHT & CANDLELIT DINNER. You should already have received the redeem links to your emails, and I hope you will love all these tiny models!
As a side note - MyMiniFactory will have a Summer Sale this August. However, since this is my newest release, it will be hidden from my store page once the sale starts as it will not be participating in it. It will still be accessible to all of you from your Libraries, so don't worry :)
And now, let's see in details what both of them contain:
DATE NIGHT β€
HOT TUB - Modular wooden Hot Tub with different types of water inserts (including petals), plus a selection of TOWELS, TEALIGHT and ROSES to create an unforgettable experience! Print water in transparent resin, then add a little bit of color to the petals for best results.
CANOPY BED (inkl. Breakfast in Bed) - Modular King Sized bed with pillars and drapes for extra privacy ;) Top part is removable so you can also use it as a regular double bed, and 6 different types of beddings - decorated with candles, roses, pillows and petals, or plain ones, - that you can easily replace to make it suit best to your current needs. Including a mini-set BREAKFAST IN BED, consisting of a coffee cup, heart-shaped and regular trays, bacon & egg, as well as a quarter of waffle and a heart-shaped candy box, to make it even sweeter ;)
BENCHES - 7 beautiful romantic benches, draped in silk and arranged with pillows, including a square-sized DAY BED and a plain wooden bench, together with 2 heart-shaped pillows to place on them.
FLOWER DECOR - big selection of 30 decorations with roses, petals, hearts and candles, to place on the floor, attach to walls or use in meshmixing to create the most beautiful romantic scenes. Combine them with air balloons or romantic furniture from the DATE NIGHT set to make the date of your dreams... or a scene for a brothel your heroes might wander in. Add some succubus in it, and no one will be able to take their eyes off your diorama!
BALLOONS - plain and heart-shaped ballons in different variations and combinations, including versions with pre-made holes for inserting wires - so that you can place them at any angle and anywhere you'd like. If you print the regular versions, please glue them to the surface to make sure they will not fall. If the wire hole is not suitable for the type of wire you use, add some glue if it's too big or scale the model up a bit if it's too small.
CANDLELIT DINNER β€
ROMANTIC DINNER - a set of FURNITURE to create a perfect dinner: 2 types of chairs, long table and 2 food trolleys with moving wheels. Together with the selection of food and drinks to place on them:
β DRINKS: water pitcher & glass, wine bottle & glass, champagne bottle, glass and ice bucket with and without champagne, as well as a separate ice cube for meshmixing.
β CANDIES: 3 rectangular candy boxes with different separate lids, and a heart-shaped box with candies and strawberries.
β BREAKFAST: bacon, egg, toasts, different waffles, round and heart pancakes, waffles with strawberries & cream, flower cookie and heart shaped cookies with icing and jam.
β FRUITS: wild strawberry, strawberry plain and chocolate-covered, kiwi, apple, tangerine, grapes, slice of lemon, banana, as well as 2 combined fruit bowls and a fruit plate.
β DINNER: salad bowl, slice of tomato for meshmixing, salami pizzas: heart-shaped and round, shrimp pasta, plate of cheese, slice of cheese, and a heart-shaped cake with rose decor, as well as cutlery.
β DECOR: Ice Swan, 3 types of trays with attachable holders, empty bowl and plate.
CANDELABRAS - modular set of table and floor CANDELABRAS and candle holders, with 10 different attachable candles, both burning and idle, that you can insert as you please and then place them anywhere you like. And additional small PEDESTAL to place them or the single candles on, which, combined with the trays and other decor from the ROMANTIC DINNER set can create interesting variations of scenery.
Also included: 5 different TEALIGHTS and 2 TEALIGHTS with rose petals, for a more intimate setting!
REMINDER: with the pay per release system, like the one I have here, you will only be charged when I make a paid post (that is, the post that announces the release of my set). It is impossible for me to charge any new patrons who join after the paid post, so the only way to purchase it would be on MyMiniFactory.
Everyone who is my Patron at this moment will be counted by the website for me to send you the redeem links once the set is pre-supported and published on MMF.
Tomorrow, on July 1st you will be charged for this release. Then everyone will receive links to get the welcome pack and my current collaborations (if you haven't received those yet). And after the set is published, all of you will receive it as well.
Since most of you have already paid for this release on my old Patreon, it will be free for you. How will it work? I will manually check every patron to refund you what Patreon will charge tomorrow if you were subscribed to me on the last paid month on my old account (since you have already paid for it there), as I'm not sure it is possible to cancel the payment before it is processed.
If you haven't been suscribed to my old Patreon account, then for you this set will cost the same as is stated in your pledge :)
There are a few variations with petals and candles left that are not shown (including petals in the hot tub and on the bed (special bedding variations) ), as well as a more detailed tablecloth for the dining table. But apart from that the set is complete.
I'm sending the models for pre-supporting today, and I will be making proper renders (and not these preview images) for the models in the next few days, after which I will upload them here π I will make another post once the models are pre-supported, test-printed and available for download (free, of course, and a reminder - all of my posts are free apart from the actual releases, like this one, when you get charged to receive my new set, and you will never be charged for more than a release, which right now happens around once in 2 months. But I'm hoping to go back to releasing once a month in the near future).
It's finally happening and the new set is going to be released in a week! The release was supposed to happen in May, but I managed to get in a hospital twice in a row, which slowed me down significantly π But now it's here!
It currently has a little bit above 100 items, and the last few flowers and decorations are on their way, but in the meantime - this is the preview of what you will get!
My first paid post will happen on 30th of June, so in 5 days. For most of you it will be a free release as you have already paid for it on my previous Patreon account.
And since this is a pay per release system, only those who are subscribed to me at the moment of the paid post will receive the set (and of course, if someone paid for it on the previous patreon they will also receive it later in their MMF libraries). The only way to get the set afterwards will be to buy it on MyMiniFactory or MiniHoarder.
And last but not the least - I'm having a comeback sale with 50% off my store on MyMiniFactory - in case you're missing some of my old sets. You can get the discount by using the code DARKJUNE until the end of the month.
Stay tuned for more updates and the exact date of the release π
Apart from the romantic dining set and a nice hot tub next set will have plenty of comfy sofas and beds to sit on!
And in the next WIP I will show the scatter objects: candelabras, dinner, drinks, delicious candies you can give your loved ones and flowers! Including breakfast in bed, multiple decorated beddings you can place on canopy bed, and heart-shaped balloons π
All Christmas models are now pre-supported and available for download from MyMiniFactory!
As I mentioned in my previous post, there were issues with my previous pre-supporter so it took a while to get them fully done, as we had to redo many of the initial supports for them π But now all of them are test-printed, and all the big ones are also hollowed to use less of your resin.
For those of you that were not subscribed to me at that time, you can get the freshly released set with a discount, for $29.99 using the code from the picture :)
Also, all of my previous releases on MyMiniFactory are now re-uploaded as ZIP files as I was finally given the option to use ZIPs for uploading (thank you MMF lol). You can now choose between downloading the supported or unsupported ZIPs, containing also Lychee files (in addition to regular STLs) for all of my previous releases :)
And here is the last promised collaboration before the release of my ROMANCE set!
But a little note first.
You probably noticed that I haven't posted any new WIPs of the upcoming set recently. It's because I've been (still π ) trying to release the supported models for my previous, Christmas set.
Unfortunately, my previous pre-supporter didn't finish supporting my set, so after a month of waiting since I published the release I had to start searching for a new one. From now on, my sets will be supported by awesome Ty from TableFlip π! He has been working hard on fixing the Christmas supports that were improperly done and supporting those models that weren't even supported at all. Together with him we're assembling the Gingerbread house at the moment (check the roof on the image above!), and you can expect those files to be released on MMF in the near future - together with Lychee versions (and yes, I couldn't start selling them before the supports were finished π₯).
And now - lets meet Gem, Martina & Lorena from World Forge Minis!
They create unique terrain collections for D&D and other fantasy tabletop games on MMF Tribes. They visit a new environment every month and design a detailed scenery set for you to build a diorama with. All their models come pre-supported and ready to print. This month, they're visiting the beautiful Lost Temple of Samrosa!
In this collaboration we combined a selection of STLs from their Carnival Collection with items from a few of my previous releases to create a festive food stall! And as with the last collaboration, you will receive a redeem link for MMF shortly to add the files to your Library!
If you like their style of miniatures and want to learn more, you can check them out on Tribes or in Discord.
You can also use an exclusive discount code DESIRE40 on their store to purchase anything from their previous collections - The Mirthlight Carnival (which your free STLs are from) and The Shadowdale Graveyard - at 40% off the regular price until April, 30th! Tribe subscribers get 50% off their store!
Reminder for merchants: You can sell my part of the collaboration (as long as you're subscribed to my commercial license on MMF Tribes), but to sell the full set you need to be a licensed merchant for World Forge as well.
Thank you so much for helping me reach my first goal on this new account!
Here, as promised, a little set of LANTERNS for all of you! I might have wanted to make one model, but did a bit more than planned... again π
They're pre-supported and test-printed, and you can download them here (as well as receive them together with my next release on MMF). You will find unsupported versions as well as pre-supports in .STL and Lychee formats.
Hope they will lighten up your mood and let you do what makes your soul shine π₯°π
And use a code THANKYOU100 on MyMiniFactory to get a 50% discount as a thank you for helping me reach 100 patrons!
What about my next goal?
Next I'll start working on creating a Loyalty Rewards Program for those of you who stay with me for multiple months! That means extra models and little sets if you keep being subscribed! π
You will also see more work in progress of my upcoming set in the next couple of days!
As you can see, we will be getting a setting for a romantic dinner with some candlelight!
I'm planning on making a new type of candles, with a less "used" look - the ones you would see specifically taken out of their packages just for the special occasion. And some candelabras to place them on, of course - so that the whole room can be lit up just by them!
And someone wanted a hot tub? π
Note: all of these are still unfinished models, but you can predict how they are gonna look like when fully done :D
As I realised there are many of you who are unfamiliar with this billing system, here you can find out everything you need to know about it π
But at first, I would like to note that Patreon, and especially this billing model, is a way to support your creator. It is not a way to "purchase" releases, just cheaper, but rather a way to get a membership with an artist whose work you enjoy and value, so you support them while getting everything they release with a huge discount - as a "thank you" for your support π
My releases don't happen on schedule, they happen based on inspiration, like any other art. Which, unfortunately, many people still don't understand and instead consider every artist's patreon as just another store, making everyone speed up their work and sacrifice the quality just to be able to release each set every single month π
So, quoting Patreon itself:
Per creation billing was built with the idea that you want to support your creator and think their work is more valuable than ad revenue. Instead of thinking of your creator's paid posts as things that you have βpurchasedβ try to think about them as content theyβve created β and you have membership that unlocks access to their content, which you value at different levels of support.
And now, back to the "Pay per creation" system's description!
π¬ Joining my Patreon
To subscribe, click Join next to any of my Tiers, or Become a patron button if you're on a different page. This will redirect you to the page where you can configure your payment.
Once youβve joined my page, you will get access to my entire back catalog of patron-only posts. You will not be charged for any of my previous paid posts, but you will also not receive the models from those releases.
On this page you can select the amount you pay for each of my releases, choose the currency in which you'd like to pay and set up your monthly limit.
π€ Monthly limit
I will only be charging you for my future releases and them only (there is no monthly payment!), so my paid posts will happen around once in 4-8 weeks, but you will never be charged for more than one release in any given month. Which means that setting up a monthly limit is not necessary for my page, but below you can read up more on what it means:
Sometimes referred to as a βmonthly max,β your monthly limit is the maximum amount you will be billed for paid posts in a given month. It is set in the amount of paid posts and ensures that you are never charged more than youβve agreed to when you joined your creator's page.
This limit is set during membership confirmation (see the picture above), and can be edited throughout the month. Usually, If a monthly limit is not enabled, you are eligible to be billed for every paid post your creator makes.
Q: Does this mean you will lose access after youβve been billed your monthly limit?
A: No. You will have access to all paid posts and patron only posts published as long as you have an active membership with your creator and do not have a declined bill.
π Regular Posts
I will be making lots of regular, unpaid posts, containing my work in progress, announcements, previews of my sets (which will be public), collaborations with other artists, discounts, voting and bonus models for all of my patrons. You will never be charged for any of these posts, but your access to the additional models will be revoked if you cancel your subscription before paying for my next release. As they're offered as a part of your future pledge.
π² Paid Posts
When I'm done and ready to release my next set, I will make a paid post with it. This will place a pending bill equal to your pledge amount on your account. This bill will only be processed on the 1st of the next month, or - if you cancel your subscription - immediately on cancelling.
There will be public previews of all of my upcoming sets for those of you who want to see the release before subscribing, but once my set is released you will not be able to receive it here if you weren't subscribed to me at the time of my sheduled paid post. So everyone who joins my patreon after the release will only be eligible for my next set, since it's impossible to charge anyone for already created posts. And if you still want my past release, you will need to buy it on MyMiniFactory.
π³ Payments
When are your bills processed?
On the 1st of the following month after each release: When I make a paid post, a pending bill is placed on your account. Patreon will process your pending bills on the 1st of the following month. So if I make a paid post on June 1st, a pending bill is placed on active patronsβ accounts. These pending bills will be processed on July 1st.
OR
Immediately when you cancel your membership: When a patron cancels their membership with a per creation creator, Patreon charges them for all pending bills on their account.
β Different Tiers
Want to be subscribed just to get a sneak peek into my future releases and decide afterwards if you'd like to pay the full price? No worries, you can easily do it even while staying subscribed to my standard π Treasure Chest π tier! You will not be charged until I release my next set, so after each release you will have plenty of time to decide on the next one!
But be aware that your access to additional models you've received during this period (in between the old and the new release - so you always keep every model for the time you've been billed for!) will be revoked if you decide to cancel or downgrade your pledge before the next release, since they're offered as a part of it.
And if you want to support my work without getting my future releases, just because you like it or want to receive my discounts and bonus models only, you can choose the π€ Treasure Map π€ tier!
It starts with β¬1.50 ($2.00), but you can pledge as much as you'd like to support me with - consider it a tips tier! The chosen amount will only be charged each time I release my new set (not monthly!), so only after I make a paid post with my next release.
Want to become my 𧑠Merchant π§‘? You can! You will need to get a Commercial License from my Tribe on MyMiniFactory for $25.00 USD a month. Please note that said License comes as it is, without the STLs I release, so to get my future releases you would also need to be subscribed to my π Treasure Chest π tier.
I had to divide my Merchant tier into a separate License as there is no way of billing you monthly with my chosen billing system here on Patreon.
πΌ Upgrading from Treasure Map to π Treasure Chest
By subscribing to my π€ Treasure Map π€ tier you will be able to see all of my posts and discounts, with a very small exception - in case I release something for my standard tier only, but you will not receive my collaborations with other artists and future sets. You will still be able to change to the higher tier after seeing the upcoming releases to get them, so don't worry! π But be sure to do it before I release my next set.
Thereβs no upfront charge to upgrade, and you instantly get higher membership access, unlocking all of my Treasure Chest posts. Your higher pledge amount is applied to paid posts I will make after you upgrade. Pending bills already posted to your Billing history are not altered and will be kept at your lower pledge amount.
Which means that if you upgrade your Tier after I released a new set, this will not give you access to the said set and your new pledge will count only for my next release. So be sure to make a switch before I release anything if you'd like to get this set!
Patreon wonβt exceed your monthly limit, so you may not be billed for additional paid posts. If you want to ensure a creator gets your increased amount, you may want to increase your monthly limit as well. However, since I won't be making more than 1 paid post a month, your monthly limit shouldn't affect anything and you don't need to worry about it :)
π½ Downgrading back to the π€ Treasure Map
With this billing system you won't be charged until I release another set anyway, so there is no reason to downgrade after my release! π But, of course, you can still do it.
Decreasing your membership will not change the amount of any pending bills already posted to your Billing history. So if you do that after my release, you will still get it and all the additional models released for it, but you will not receive this type of models for my next release.
Your lower amount will be applied to future paid posts.
β Cancelling
When you cancel a per creation membership, any pending bills are processed immediately. Patreon recommends that you check your Billing history before canceling, so youβre aware of potential charges.
Since future billing stops as soon as you cancel, so does your membership access. This also means that if you haven't had a bill yet (cancelled before my release), you will lose access to all of the models I've released since your last payment. But if you cancel after I release a set, you will keep the access to it and all of the other models released in that period of time.
If your payment declines, canceling will not remove the declined bill. Patreon will continue to try your payment to get your creators paid.
Hope it answered all of your questions and helped you understand this billing system a bit better. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions left and I will be happy to answer you! π
This month we're having another collaboration with Twin Goddess Miniatures!
Two beautiful and alluring ladies are ready to help you find your darkest desires in our library... And a little adorable librarian on their side is always happy to guide you through every secret of the stored books. As well as a completely new model from me β the Banker's Lamp to use as a new light source instead of regular candles!
You will find all of the set models in your MMF libraries if you're subscribed to my Treasue Chest tier!
Check out their Patreonor use a code OfficeSavings on their MyMiniFactory Store to get more of their models with 30% off until the end of March or use code DARKGODDESS in my store to get a 30% discount on everything!
Twin Goddess Miniatures strives to create the most memorable heroes, villians, and creatures for all your tabletop needs. Each month they release 6+ new characters and some bonus items. You can find out more on their Patreon or MyMiniFactory store.
Make sure to look for some freebies in the objects section of their shop! And if you're more into provocative stuff, check out their free NSFW model.
Reminder for merchants: You can sell my part of the collaboration (as long as you're subscribed to my commercial license on MMF Tribes), but to sell the full set you need to be a licensed merchant for Twin Goddess as well.
As today is 8th of March, first of all I'd like to congratulate all of our women! π
Most of you probably already have them, but I'm attaching to this post my Treasure Chest and a little vase of Flowers for our beautiful ladies in case you're still missing them π
And, as you already read up before, while my latest set is being pre-supported, I have started working on the next, Romance-themed, release. Do you have any wishes or suggestions for this set? Remember, there will be both romantic and a bit kinky things in it π
And you can expect my first collaboration already in a few days, as well as a sale later this month!
