Friesian Nightmare Release!

Hey guys!

Happy Halloween! In some parts of the world it's still the 31st, so it definitely counts!
Despite the fact I'm a little late, I hope you will enjoy this extra creepy Friesian Nightmare horse. I also made a normal version of her, which I will aim to upload tomorrow.

As always, you can find the download link in the Model Links Master Post, which is pinned for Patrons.

Onward to November! Hope you are all doing okay!

Cheers,

Slender Man Horse Patreon Release

Hey guys! 

After jokingly uploading Slender Horse, Melbourne Mini Painter (https://www.melbourneminipainter.com.au/) took it as a challenge to make the joke into a serious thing. She modelled a little tie out of green stuff and painted Slender Horse as horror icon, Slender Man! As I've been laughing my ass off all weekend, I decided everyone should be able to enjoy this. I added a little tie so everyo...

Slender Horse Patreon Release (and Friesian Nightmare sneak peek ;))

Hey guys,

While I was working on my Friesian Nightmare, I showed some progress pictures to some of the Patrons in the Discord chat. While they were cheering me on during the early development stages, they soon realized that the beauty and grace of the Slender Horse got lost in the details. They demanded me to revert the model back to its original glory and after careful consideration, I realized they were right. The sleek form, the intelligent simplicity: it was like a work of modern ...

Megaloceros Peryton, now official with pre-supported file!

Hey guys! 

Annnnnddd, here we go, the official release picture! It needed to wait for a bit but here we are. In the meantime, Hathoria relentlessly worked on this boy and made a pre-supported version for all resin users out there! Thank you so much, Hathoria, you're the best!
The chitubox files are now in the Megaloceros Peryton folder. 

Onward to the next model!
Cheers,

Green Shore Crab bonus model, made by my "student" :D

Hey guys, 

I've got a little surprise. Over the past few months I've familiarized one of my friends with Zbrush and how to make models (the way I do it at least, haha). Now he's ready to show off one of his creations and thought it would be nice to share it for free. He modelled his study species, the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, which can be used as a giant crab for tabletop games or as animal companion, encounter or wildshape form. You can get it right now over at ...

Megaloceros Peryton Release!

Hey guys, 

Well, it was about time, but here we go: the Megaloceros Peryton, based off the extinct Irish Elk, a huge species of deer that roamed the Earth thousands of years ago. This is Sabrina's prize for coming second in my last painting contest, and I wanted to go a special route with it. I know she loves extinct species, so I didn't have to think very hard what to incorporate. As for the head, I wanted it to be a blend of both deer and bird. You see a lot of full deer faced Pe...

Megaloceros Peryton sneak peek!

Hey guys, 

It's about time I reveal a small part of the upcoming model. Next up we will have another painting contest prize: a Peryton requested by Sabrina! While pondering over the twist I could add, I decided to go for a Megaloceros instead of a standard stag. I'm really excited about this guy and I hope you guys will love him as much as I do!

Cheers,
Michelle

Pookah Squirrel Charging Pose Release!

Update: now with official release picture!

Hey guys!

I'm going to keep this short, cause it's super late over here, but here's the third pose of the Pookah Squirrel Soldier for Ill Gotten Games (and the second model for September). I'll do some additional renderings tomorrow, but for now, you can access the files through the Model Links Master Post, which is pinned for Patrons.

Hope you like him!
Cheers,

We got over 50 Patrons! We reached a new Milestone and Kitsune is now pre-supported!

Hey guys!

A couple of amazing things happened today. First off, we reached over 50 Patrons. Just thinking about how many people that is, I feel overwhelmingly supported and it means a lot to me that each and everyone of you enjoyed my works enough to take this step. So thank you so much!
Another thing is, we broke the second milestone I set! That means from next month on, I'll give it my best to release 3 models a month! With that being said, I do value quality over quantity, so i...

Kitsune, official release picture and model cut for resin printing!

Hey guys! 

Now the release is official, since it's got a release picture. I was kind of fond of the dark and mysterious look from the extra shadows, so I decided to keep that for most of the render pictures. Also, I split the model in half to make the whole thing fit on resin printers. I checked with Hathoria and the tail portion of the model is a tight fit, but it does work. She's also testing her supported version right now, so if things are going as planned, I will upload the pr...

Kitsune, Tails of Paint

Hey everyone!

It's here, the first prize of the previous painting contest: a Kitsune with nine tails gradually turning into paint. Or, in my concept, a pouncing Kitsune with its paint tails splattering in all directions :D Tomorrow, I will make decent renders of the model and will also cut the tail from the body for easier resin printing (and likely easier FDM printing as well, this one is a bit more advanced). For now, the whole model can be accessed through the google drive link i...

Sneak peek! Kitsune with tails of paint

Hey guys! 

I realized it's been a while and that it's time for an update. The next model is almost ready to be uploaded, I just need to polish it up a bit. It's Hathoria's painting contest prize: a Kitsune with nine tails gradually turning into tails of paint. It's a really fun concept to work with and I hope you will be as excited as I am about the outcome.

Have a nice evening!
Cheers,
Michelle 

Pre-supported Quetzalcoatl parts available now!

Hey guys!

For those of you with resin printers: you can now download a pre-supported version of the Bush Viper Quetzalcoatl. A huge thank you to Hathoria, who wanted to share her Chitubox files with the rest of you. You can check out her print over here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CErZIVUHdLx/

The files are now in the same folder as the rest of the Quetzalcoatl files.
Have a good day!
Cheer...

Bush Viper Quetzalcoatl update and now cut up for resin printing!

Hey everyone!

And now it's official, the Quetzalcoatl got a release picture! I did update the file, as there was a minor mesh error that wouldn't affect the printing process, but is solved now. So if you didn't start printing yet, I'd grab the better version off of google drive first ;) 

Also, thanks to the wonderful Hathoria, the model is now cut to be suitable for full size resin printing! The separate files are in the same folder on my google drive, which you can access ...

Bush Viper Quetzalcoatl Release!

Hey guys!

It's finally here! My nemesis of August, the dream contest model of your choice, with way too many scales and feathers: the Bush Viper Quetzalcoatl :') While it was a real struggle to tame this beast, I am very proud of the outcome. I think this is probably my biggest and most ambitious model yet.

As for the species, I went with the Bush Viper since I think it's one of the most draconic-looking snakes in the world. I also thought the leaf-ish, pointy scales would gre...

Quetzalcoatl will be the only model for August as it is an absolute beast

Hey guys,

I want to be honest with you. I underestimated the sheer amount of work the Quetzalcoatl was going to take, and as the end of the month is approaching I realized due to the detail I wanted to put into this thing, I'll only be able to provide one model this month. At first I felt bad about this, but considering it will be a big, fully detailed monster with wings and individually sculpted scales, I hope it's okay I make an exception for him. I will cut him up in pieces for resin...

Meet Loki, the reason why I'm running a bit late this month

Hey guys!

Just a quick update, I didn't forget about you, but I have been severely distracted by a certain little guy. Meet Loki, a young Western Jackdaw who basically crash landed in our garden with severe signs of heat stress. However, after my brother and I gave him a couple of juicy grapes and a bowl of water to bathe in, he quickly recovered into a curious little devil. He also more or less decided we are now part of his family and has been visiting every day to forage in the gar...

Painting Contest results!

Hey guys!   

Sorry for the delay, I had an intense weekend of celebrating my birthday with the people closests to me (in phases, to make stuff coronaproof of course). It was interesting, not being able to hug and get near each other, but I had a blast.   

Meanwhile, the painting contest ended and it's time to announce the winners!  So without further ado: 

In third place: Jim with his awesome rendition of the Red Fox! I absolutely love the nice ...

And here's the final model for July, a new Pookah Squirrel Soldier, now complete with rifle and menacing look.  Another commission for Arian (Dutchmogul) from Ill Gotten Games ( http://www.illgottengames.net/). The Pookah are a faction from their RPG, "Wayfarer", of which the handbook can be found here:  2020-08-01 01:22:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Painting Contest Time!

Hey guys!

In exactly three weeks it will be a very special date, as it will be my birthday and basically the one year anniversary of my 3D printing and modelling adventures, since that was the day I got my Ender 3.
To celebrate I thought it would be fun to throw another painting contest! 

What do you need to do?

Print one of the models that I released so far, paint it to the best of your skills and send me a picture of the final result before the 7th of August 23...

Squirrel soldier for Ill Gotten Games and Quetzalcoatl

Hey peeps! 

Time for an update. Things have been going a bit slower than usual since I've been pretty ill for the last two weeks (got tested for corona, but fortunately the test results were negative). Over the weekend I got a bit more energy again and started working on this guy.

This is a pookah, a race of animal people invented by Ill Gotten Games (http://www.illgottengames.net/) for their RPG "Way...

Ultimate Dream Model Poll of July top 3! Which model would you like to see next?

Hey guys! Ha, so, last poll actually ended in a three-way tie, which means we ended with a top 3 anyway. Since I don't want to be the one who has the final word in this, I thought we could do a quick revote with some changes. First off, you can only pick one option now. Second, it was brought to my attention the poll was open for non-Patrons as well, which wasn't my intention with this particular poll, so I fixed that. I'll give you guys 24 hours to give me your final vote to see who will be ...

Ultimate Dream Model Poll of July! Which model would you like to see next?

Important edit: the platybelodon now has a mouskateer ( a mouse wearing three musketeer clothing, hat, and rapier) rider. Thank you for your attention, you may now proceed to vote. 

Hey guys!

Thank you so much for reaching another milestone with me. I absolutely loved all the ultimate dream model wishes. Remember how I said I would pick a top 3? Yeah, ha, I doubled that. In that way we've got some nice variety for everyone to pick from. Anyway, now it's up to you ...

One day left to win your ultimate dream 3d model!

Hey guys!

Just a reminder that you have one day left to leave a comment on this post (  https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-milestone-to-38746031 ) describing your ultimate dream 3d model in order to have a chance to win it!  You have until the 3rd of July 23:59 Central European Time.  Don't miss out on this opportunity ;)

Cheers,

Himalayan Yak Monk release!

Hey guys, 

And finally, to wrap June up, the last model of the month. One of my Patrons, Tony, suggested this guy and as I was already going through a theme with the samurai animal gang, I thought it would be a good fit.
Meet HuMa, Tony's Yakfolk Monk. I really fell in love with this character after Tony told me some more about him. In short, he took a vow to live a non-violent life at the monastry. When a dragonborn princess sought help after her kingdom was destroyed, HuMa de...

New milestone reached! Chance to win your own 3d model! (And Yak Monk preview)

Hey guys! 

Only a couple of months ago I announced we hit the first milestone of $100 per month. And now we've doubled it! I didn't put this one in as a goal originally, but I thought it would be a nice surprise ;)

However, a few things seemed to have changed and doing raffles is now illegal on Patreon. That means I won't be able to randomly select one of my Patrons to get a custom 3d mode...

Sea Turtle Dragon, now availble in cut version!

Hey guys, 

I got a couple of requests from resin users to get a cut version of my Green Sea Turtle Dragon so they would be able to print him in full size as well. I took the time to learn how to do it and I think it worked out pretty nicely! I uploaded the separate files in the google drive folder, which are now accessible through the Model Links Master Post (which is pinned for Patrons). 

I hope this will help some of you out :P

Cheers,

Michelle
