The Hungry Koi Fish Ponds Release, and Anurognathus sneak peek!

Hey guys,

Hope you are doing well! I wanted to surprise you with a little bonus: three koi fish ponds featuring a very hungry koi fish at its center :'D These guys can be used as very unusual encounters for your tabletop game. Can you imagine the threat of your character being swallowed whole by one of these giant fish? Better not let that happen!
These models can all be printed without supports, both on FDM and resin printers, which is a first for me and has been something I've bee...

Koi Fish Release

Hey guys,

Hope you are okay! It took me a bit (and is it the end of May already?! Yikes!), but I can finally present the Koi Fish to you! I made two versions, one with the fins intact and one with the fins flattened on the tips for slightly easier printing. There's also mirrored versions in the folder, since I thought a set of them would look cool.
I'm still rendering pictures, so additional views will be added to this post later :)

I'm also considering making a bunch of ha...

Life update and Koi Fish Sneak Peek

Hey guys,

Hope you are doing well. It's been a good while and I feel bad for my absense. The past two months have been crazy, with a lot of insights and both good and bad stuff. The people who've been following me around for a bit longer know I've been struggling with some health issues that affected my hands. After months of searching, I finally found the reason why I'm having these issues, and I'll be having rehabilitation and physical therapy to counter these effects soon. Apparent...

Chinese Water Tiger Model Release!

Hey everyone! Happy Year of the Water Tiger!

The Year of the Water Tiger predicts strength, courage and specifically: change! And don't we all need things to change a little in the world right now?

This time around I wanted to get my test out before I uploaded the file, and here is the result! To mimic the effect of water, I printed the file in translucent resin, dyed it with alcohol inks and then finished it with a coat of clear gloss varnish. It's the first print I did in trans...

Year of the Water Tiger Sneak Peek!

Hey guys,

Before the whole pack of naked mole rats will hit (I've almost finished a Queen, soldiers and a couple of pups now), I have something more important coming up! It's almost the Chinese start of the New Year, which will be the year of the Water Tiger! As such, I do plan to make this tiger with a watery twist ;) Stay tuned!

Hope you are well,
Cheers,

Michelle

Naked Mole Rat Release!

Heya peeps!

Here's the first model of the new year, the Naked Mole Rat! I loved working on all the odd wrinkles and skin flaps, and that really disturbing jaw that just seems to protrude from the chin. While this guy is looking fairly cute and docile, I am already working on a version with the jaws wide open in a more defensive, threatening pose. 

I was also considering making this into an animal warrior, kind of like the samurai rabbit and yak monk. What kind of class/figh...

Naked Mole Rat sneak peek and looking for some model wishes for 2022

Hey guys! Happy New Year!

I hope you had some fun during the holidays and I wish you all the best for 2022. I intended to close off 2021 with something as ugly as the year had been for me personally, but unfortunately the model is a bit later than planned. So here you go, a sneak peek of the Naked Mole Rat, a super interesting, disturbing and oddly cute creature. When I was brainstorming this guy popped into my mind, and I can imagine it to be a very surprising and scary encounter in ...

Sparrowmouse Gryphon Release

Hey peeps!

Finally, I got around to finish this little guy! It's been a while since I started working on him and I'm happy to say I'm satisfied with how he looks now. Meet the tiniest of gryphons: the Sparrowmouse Gryphon! I've got a couple of more poses for you in store, which should be hitting Patreon soon. 

I uploaded him in several sizes: 50mm (for resin printers), 70mm (for FDM printers, as they might struggle with the claws) and 120mm (lifesize). I figured it would be ...

Werewolverine Release

Hey guys,

This month has been a rather rough one, but things are finally starting to look better and I felt the urge to model something related to one of my favorite things of the year: Halloween! Ever since last year I had this concept floating around in my brain and decided to bench it until the next Halloween.
What's scarier than a werewolf? A werewolverine! Werewolverines are more brutal and violent compared to the standard werewolves. Rather than changing shape every full moo...

Sparrowmouse gryphon sneak peak 2

Hey peeps!

Thought you could use an update. This time a dorsal look at things! ;)

Hope you are all okay. Keep your eyes peeled for this guy to hit Patreon.
Cheers,
Michelle

Sparrow x Mouse Gryphon sneak peek!

Hey peeps,

First off, thank you all so much for your kind words and support over the last few weeks regarding my mother's accident. It's rare these days to have so many compassionate, understanding people within an online community, and I'm feeling lucky to have you around.  That being said, this Patreon will remain a bit slow on updates, so no worries if you have to leave or would prefer to come back at a later time when I picked up pace again ;)

I did however, find some...

Meerkat Release and some explanations

Hey everyone, 

Time to release the meerkat that I've been promising a full month ago! The STL files are in the model links master post, which is pinned for Patrons.

While I've warned you guys before that updates may be irregular due to some health issues that I'm currently battling, you may have noticed I've been very absent over the last month, both here, in the discord app and on social media. I haven't been sure whether to share this or not, as it's starting to sound like...

Meerkat coming up!

Hey guys!

Just dropping by to show you a little teaser! Hope you'll have a wonderful day!

Cheers,
Michelle 

European Hedgehog Release

Edit: Official release picture added so you can see what you're dealing with ;)

Hey guys,

Here's a tiny surprise! I really like hedgehogs and we recently had one visiting our garden. I'm very tempted to make a curled up ball version of him as well.
As I continue to have issues with my hand and my health in general, I decided to do some exercises and tackle smaller projects in between that shouldn't stress my hand too much. I chose this little guy as the first smaller project...

Smilodon populator Release (Part 2)

Hey peeps,

Just a quick message, here's the roar pose of Smilodon populator that I promised to release! It was kind of hard to believe this is actually how far the jaws were able to open back in the days. I hope you like him as much as I do, as this is probably my favorite pose I made of this guy so far.

I'm planning on tackling some smaller, faster projects in the upcoming days, and I will soon be back with a sneak peek of the next model ;) 

As always, you can find...

Smilodon populator Release (Part 1)!

Edit: now with official release pictures to get a better idea of what you'd be downloading ~

Hey peeps!

It took me a bit, but here he is, Smilodon populator, the Saber-Toothed Tiger! I've got two poses for you right now, while I'm still working on a third, more aggressive guy which should be hitting Patreon later this week ;)
I've worked very hard on reconstructing Smili as accurately as possible with all the drawings, insights and findings of paleontologists (of Mauricio Ant...

Smilodon populator coming up!

Hey guys!

First off, thank you so much for your patience once again! While work is still slow due to the issues with my hand and overall health (I've finally gotten to the part where a specialist is screening me completely and is taking my problems very serious, so that's good!), I wanted to give you an update, as I realized the last one has been a while again.

The prehistoric mammal that you chose in the previous poll, Smilodon populator, is in its final stages! I've reached ...

Skriii, the Jackdaw Kenku Release!

IMPORTANT EDIT!
I just found out Skriii's pants somehow ended up being hollow. If you downloaded the files before, please delete them and redownload the new files from the folder. This will prevent annoying surprises later on (especially when printing with resin). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey guys!

It's finally time for a new model, thank you all so much for your patience! My health is unfortunately still pretty shaky, but by now I've been to the hospital and got tho...

Poll results and sneak peeks!

Hey peeps! I hope you're all doing well.
I'm here to announce the results of the prehistoric mammal poll! With an overwhelming majority, you decided you want me to make Smilodon (the sabre toothed cat)! In my excitement, I've been reading up on all recent findings and reviewed the takes of paleoartists on these impressive carnivores. I've also decided on the exact species I will be trying to reproduce, which will be Smilodon populator, the biggest and baddest boy of the family. I've been ...

Which prehistoric mammal would you like me to make?

Hey guys! It's been a while since my last poll, and after getting a few suggestions to tackle prehistoric mammals, I decided to throw them all together in a poll. You are allowed to pick multiple options. The poll closes in a week, and I may model more than only the top winner if people are excited about this ;) Have fun! 

Lara (Shih Tzu x Maltese Mix) Release

Hey guys,

As promised, here's February's model, which is very special and personal to me. Last week it has been 2 years since I lost my little dog, Lara, who was part of our family for 16 years and 7 months. Needless to say, I still miss her every day and I wanted to pay some kind of homage to her.
At first I was hesitant whether or not to share her STL, or whether I wanted to keep her as a private piece. However, I realized there may be more people who have a similar dog or know ...

Important heads up and little doggy on the way

Hey guys,

God, it's the end of the month already again. I feel like it's time to let you in on my life for a bit, as I'm starting to feel like I owe you guys an explanation.
At the moment, things are still rocky health-wise. Since the fingers of my hand got inflammed around the end of December, I've got other symptoms joining in, including pain in my arm and hand. The latter flares up every now and then, messing with my productivity as it makes me slower and forces me to take more ...

Jackdaw Kenku sneak peek

Hey guys!

While I've been showing WIP pictures in the Discord server, I just realized I didn't share them here yet. Behold, the first model for February: a Jackdaw Kenku! This model may be a bit of self-indulcement, as I am currently playing this character in a campaign, but I figured she will be "general" enough to be useful for you guys as well. I'm currently working on her clothes which I'm planning on giving some more attention this time ;)

Hope you are all in good health ...

Great Dane Cerberus Release

Hey guys!

And as promised, the Cerberus version of the Great Dane! I struggled quite a bit with the placement of the two additional heads as I still wanted the model to feel "anatomically correct". I managed to make it look like the outer necks are leaning a little bit over the shoulder areas, which in my opinion worked out nicely ;P I've also asked the Patrons in my Discord about the expressions of the three heads, and there was a 50/50 score for a goofy versus a more serious approac...

Great Dane Model Release!

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for your patience! January has been a drag with me being unable to create. Recovery took way longer than I expected, but after taking a lot of rest and good care of my hand, things finally started to look better by last week. I slowly chipped away at this guy again and he's finally done! Here he is, the Great Dane, a model requested by Murkrai! He can be used as a stand alone model or he might make a good animal companion for your tabletop games. I hope you...

Quick heads up on the situation

Hey peeps, 

I wish I had better news, but this month had another setback in store for me, so unfortunately I have to postpone the final model a few more days. The index and middle fingers of my dominant hand have been inflamed pretty severely to the point I can't normally hold my drawing pen. I hoped things would get better quickly, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. I'll be going back to my doctor tomorrow. He advised me to get some rest in the mean time and after some fiddli...

Giant Jumping Spider Santa Edition

Hey guys, 

It's been a while. Here's a little something for you to enjoy the holidays: a Santa version of the Giant Jumping Spider! Other than adding a santa hat and a present, I modelled the chelicerae of the spider as well, something I overlooked while sculpting my previous models, oops! I had a few requests whether I would be willing to fix that, and I will go back to put them on the other models soon.

Anyway, I just wanted to inform you I'm a bit behind on schedule due t...

African Cheetah Release

Update: now with official release pictures ;) 

Hey guys!

November was a bit hectic and I had to deal with a commission that I really needed to finish, so it took me a bit longer to get back to work on this boy. Here he is though, the African Cheetah, as requested by Jim for his painting contest prize! I struggled a bit to get the anatomy right, but I think I finally managed. Cheetahs are one of my favorite animals, but god, they make no sense shape-wise ;) 

Hope ...

African Cheetah Sneak Peek

Hey guys! 

I thought it was about time to announce the next model: the African Cheetah! It will be the third prize from last August's painting contest, and was requested by Jim. The main shapes are done and I started the detailing process this evening ;) He should hit Patreon later this week.

Hope you are all doing fine!
Cheers,
Michelle 

Friesian Horse Model Release! (and Nightmare picture)

Hey guys! 

And here she is, the normal version of the Friesian Horse! No protuding bones or eery teeth, a perfect model to be used as a loyal horse companion in every campaign. Also, have the official release picture of the creepy Nightmare variant! I love to look at the two versions side by side. 

As always, you can find the STL file in the Model Links Master Post (pinned for Patrons).

Hope you like her! Next up: a cheetah model!
Cheers,
Michelle ...
