Monster Manual 2025: The Cyclops Oracle!

Hello friends! Today I have for you the next creature from this amazing book, the Cyclops Oracle! This was a fun female cyclops to work on that was a nice mix of modeling and sculpting work. I'm so used to Cyclops being just big ol brutes. Its neat to work on a smart spellcasting type. For FDM printing you'll have your best results printing this on her back and angle it so the fingers don't need too many supports. Given how big she is though the removal shouldn't be too bad. For resin folks t...

Monster Manual 2025: The Cyclops Sentry!

Hello friends! Today from this amazing book is the Cyclops Sentry! This big brute comes in two forms with one throwing a boulder and one swinging around a stone pillar as a club. This was a fun sculpting and rigging project. I don't make tubby characters often so this was a pretty cool project to take on today :)

My take on the Cyclops Sentry is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Conten...

Monster Manual 2025: The Fiend Cultists!

Hello friends! The last cultists from this amazing book are the Fiend Cultists! These evil worshipers of demons, devils and other corrupted beings come in all shapes and garbs but I liked working on these specific takes as they're basically nobles revealing their true forms to the players in an epic game finale. I particularly enjoyed working on the frilly dress the female cultist wears. For both male and female you'll get your best results in FDM printing by printing them on their backs. For...

New Requests Completed!

Hello friends! Today I worked on more requests and made:

  • Carriage Terrain Piece that's NOT a Mimic - here was a neat request for another terrain piece. It was a nice mix of modeling and sculpting. I also made sure it was functional, so the axels do turn. You do connect the wheels to the axels. And the front horse harness does rotate after insertion. Now keep in mind I don't usually make functional vehicles so if its not perfect its nothing some glue , sanding, ...

New Requests Completed today!

Hello friends! Today I worked on some fun requests and made:

  • Human Male Barbarian 17 - this was a neat request. I liked working on this fella's dreadlocks and clothing. I couldn't figure out a catchy name for this fella so I guess he's kinda nameless ;) . For FDM printing print this fella on his back for best results. Presupported files attached for resin folks. Full files are in Adventurers - Barbarians - Human Barbarians.

Monster Manual 2025: The Elemental Cultists & bonus Female Aberrant Cultist!

Hello friends! Today I had a blast working on the Elemental Cultists! For both the male and female I recommend printing them on their sides with their fingers pointed upward so no supports are needed in their hands. There is a long cylinder inside the chains of the flails so its actually one solid piece rather than a bunch of individual chains, thus support removal from there will be easier than expected. Resin users get the usual presupported file.

Then for fun I made a Female Aberran...

Monster Manual 2025: The Aberrant & Death Cultists!

Hello friends! Today I worked on more cultists today from this amazing book! For the Aberrant Cultist, which was an excellent sculpting project, if you want to print this in FDM I recommend printing it at an angle that has the fingers and face tentacles angled somewhat upward so no supports are needed in there. For the Death Cultists, same tips, though be careful when removing supports under the scythe.

My takes on the Aberrant and Death Cultists are unofficial Fan Content permitted un...

Monster Manual 2025: The Cultist Hierophants!

Hello friends! This week will focus on all the neat Cultist options in this new book! The original cultists from the 2014 book still hold up so those are in the new collection as well. However one of the new options is the Hierophants which I had a great time working on today. The Hierophants are the magic casting supervisors of cults in the D&D realm who lead the minions in combat or through the day to day management of the groups.

For FDM printing both of these w...

Today I'd like to showcase Superhumans, an amazing trauma center in Ukraine that specializes in 3D printing prosthetics to help victims of this war, be it adult or child. They do amazing work, and are definitively worth checking o...

Monster Manual 2025: The Couatl & Crawling Claws!

Hello friends! Today I worked on more awesome creatures from this amazing book! I made:

  • Couatl - I really enjoyed working on this winged snake celestial. The original from 2014 had a more draconic look so I think that one is still my favorite, but, the snake look of this one was still fun to work on. I'm sure it'll look very pretty printed. For FDM printing you will get your best results printing it as is or on its back. You will lose some of the feathery detail...

Monster Manual 2025: The Colossus!

Hello friends! Today I worked on the massive Colossus from the new Monster Manual! This was a lot of fun to sculpt up. I liked working on the stone texture. Given how massive this construct is I split it into two pieces so at least large resin printers can print it. For FDM printing you can print it in one piece so long as its laying on its back and angled correctly.

Monster Manual 2025: The Cockatrice & Cockatrice Regent!

Hello friends! Next up in this amazing book are these to variants of the cockatrice! The regular small sized one is an angry little fella squawking at adventurers, while the regent is massive and glorious, roaring at its perceived threat. For FDM printing the cockatrice is a little tough to print given how small it is, but if you print it as is with organic supports or on its side with the tail pointed upward you should be ok. For the regent its very large, so any angle should work fine. The ...

New Requests Completed!

Hello friends! Today I worked on :

  • Halfling Male Ranger on Blue Dragon - this was a pretty neat and complex request. This is not an easy one to printing in FDM sadly, but if you print it with the arrow pointed upward so no supports are needed near it that would be the best way to go about this. For resin users the usual presupported file is up. Be careful when removing supports under the top of the bow. Full files are here and in Adventurers - Rangers - Halflin...

For FDM printing you'll get your best results printing him on his back. Be careful with your support removal under his mustache. For resin printing the usual presupported files are up.

Monster Manual 2025: The Cloud Giants!

Hello friends! Today from this awesome book I have the Cloud Giants now ready for you all! The Cloud Giant Male is a new model that was an excellent sculpting and modeling project. The cloudy mace was a pretty fun object to make too. The Cloud Giant Female from 2014 still holds up though so I just made some minor tweaks to the old model. Now she has some updated geometry, holds the new mace and has a nice glass of Riesling.

Because both models are very large you can print them as is i...

Monster Manual 2025: The Clay Golem & Cloaker!

Hello friends! Today I had a blast modeling:

  • Clay Golem - this was a fun sculpting project! I liked sculpting the clay goopy nature of this. Given how beefy this model is you can print it as is in FDM but on his back works too. For resin printing the usual hollowed presupported file is up.

  • Cloaker - the original from 2014 still holds up, so I just spent some time today sculpting it up so it lines up with the 2025 version. Easy pe...

Monster Manual 2025: The Chuul! Also some Art Friends Shout Outs!

Hello friends! Today I had a blast working on the new Chuul! This was a fun creature to model, sculpt and rig up! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I made two versions with one being more FDM friendly than the other. The key is to print it with the tentacles pointed upward so you don't need supports in there. Resin users get the usual presupported files for both versions.

Monster Manual 2025 - The Chimera & Chasme!

Hello friends! Today from the new Monster Manual I have a Chimera and the Chasme demon! For the Chimera this was a pretty wild sculpting and modeling project. I made a version that's smaller for a regular resin printer that is pressupported. But for FDM folks I made a bigger version with its wings as separate pieces for easier printing. You should use organic tree supports on this and be careful when snipping off the supports under the variou...

Monster Manual 2025: The Chain Devil!

Hello friends! Today I proudly present the Chain Devil! This was a wild project to work on that involved a lot of modeling and sculpting. I'm really happy with how the chain skin came out as well as his chain whips.

I made two versions with one not having arm chains and one with. The one without the arm chains will be easier to print and you can attach hobby story chains to it which would look wild. But if you don't have a hobby store nearby and want a crack at a more complex model the...

Monster Manual 2025: The Centaur Troopers & Camels!

Hello friends! Today I worked on the Centaur Troopers! Thankfully because of my prior work on centaurs I had some base models to help save a little time. But the armor pieces and equipment still required a lot of modeling and sculpting time. For FDM printing given how thick these are you can get good results printing them as is with organic tree supports. But printing them on their sides with the spears slightly pointed upward works too. Resin users get the usual presupported file.

  • The Weeping Colossus - This was a fun terrain piece to work on! You see this in the Princes of the Apocalypse campaign.

Full files are in this campaigns folder and here too.

Monster Manual 2025: The Centaur Wardens!

Hello friends! Today I worked on the Centaur Wardens from this amazing book! I really enjoyed working on these given they gave me a chance to make some base centaur models that I can use in the future. For FDM printing given how thick and big these are you shouldn't have too much of a hard time printing these. But I recommend printing them at an angle where the fingers are pointed upward so no supports are really needed in those areas. Resin users get the usual presupported file.

Monster Manual 2025: The Carrion Crawler! Also "King Honk" a patron made 5e Supplement plus a gift from Lychee!

Hello friends! Today from the new MM I have the Carrion Crawler! Its a gross beast that I really enjoyed working on today. Is it weird I swear I can smell this thing? lol. For FDM printing you can pretty much print it as is but angling it upward so the claws don't need supports should be fine. You might lose the antenna but that's nothing some green stuff can't fix.
