Samus Aran Checklist

With the help of fellow patrons Rodrigo and Olius, test printing and issue correction is still underway, The sockets on my test print came out very tight even though the boolean size is much greater than the previous projects. I was stumped at this issue but went ahead and redid the socket size and I think it will be good to go this time. FDM/PLA printers should be fine still, but resin printers might need a bit of sanding still (less so than before). The next test wave is still in process an...

Term 3 2020, Poll Round 2 (Corrected)

 Correction: Added Shampoo. Thank you Jim for pointing that out. Hopefully everything is good now. Other poll will be deleted.

All characters with 7 or more votes have moved onto the next round. The list shows the reverse order of lowest votes on top to highest votes on the bottom. Lets see if this trend continues. After sculpting mechanical parts all day I think I will probably make the next one more lewd. Top 3 characters will move onto the final round, choose wisely. 

Samus Aran Term 2 Charge Post.

This is the post that will trigger the payment for year 2020 Term 2 Samus Aran. Patreon will process the payment on the 1st of next month.

Here is the final WIP image of Samus (excluding the final renders). The green/orange colored bits are going to be removable and the idea is to print these parts in transparent resin. The solid version will also be available and more FDM filament printer friendly. I'll be spending the time today to finally cut/key the figure and prep ...

Samus Aran WIP 009, Last Call On Nominations

I will be creating a charge post for this term in a couple of days, but the project will extend a little further into next month for test printing.  I've already test printed the Metroid for fitting so that's good to go. However I may take up on some of the volunteers to help with the rest, we will see.

Still much to do on the armor, but getting close to the end. I will start cutting/keying the character in a day or two after I finish refining the rest of the character. The base wi...

Tier 3 Reward Structure Future Change

Hello everyone, I am going to make a new change for the next term. I have been getting a lot of requests for old projects and discounts as a perk, so I am going to test out coupon codes. I will be removing the additional previous term project, however the reward of the additional Lucy Heartfilia along with Samus Aran still stands for this term. The coupon code change will go into effect on the next term with the TBA project, so this will benefit all current Tier 3 supporters if you choose to ...

Submit Next Character Project Suggestions

This post is to compile a list of characters to be voted on to become the next project. Go ahead and type in comments of the name of the character and from what series they are from. If it's a more obscure character then you can post a link to an image. You can suggest more than one character, but we should avoid making the list so big that we have to create multiple voting posts at the same time.

Samus Aran WIP 008

Finished with the zero suit version! As I mentioned in the previous post working on Samus armor and zero suit have been like working on two different projects at once. I still have a lot of refining to continue on the armored version so that work will continue tomorrow. Once I complete that then the next thing to do is key/socket and test print. I almost forgot about test printing the Metroid on transparent resin so that's another to the list. The base stand will be much simpler for this proj...

Samus Aran WIP 007

Hey all, another update on my progress and thoughts. The majority of the comments in the previous post mentioned the green pose so I chose that one, I actually liked that one the most myself. First thing I started on was the naked body first by correcting the anatomy and making sure the silhouette is readable in all angles. Armor pieces were added once the body pose was done, but the proportions and silhouette did not look as good as the T-Pose version.  I ended up changing many things l...

Samus Aran WIP 006, Need Patron Input

I got a second opinion on the initial pose and they brought up a valid point of big poses taking up a lot of shelf space as a figurine collector. Personally I like dynamic poses with a lot of action and story, but I value critiques because it helps me create better pieces. Artistic taste is subjective so I created a bunch of different shelf friendly tighter poses and would like everyone's thoughts on this. Type in the comments Yes or no for concern in shelf space. Also type in the color of yo...

Samus Aran WIP 005

Hello again. Added the helmet and color scheme of the Varia suit to see how the figure looks compared to the original from the video games.  I've also tested a bunch of different poses and decided on this one. The arms and head still needs a bit more tweaking, but the gist is there. The armor in general is probably the biggest challenge for me in all aspects. Samus will look very stiff once she is suited up and I like my poses to be as dynamic as possible, so I may have to abandon the id...

Samus Aran WIP 004

Hello again everyone, hope you are all in good health. I got the majority of the secondary forms for the armor done and will start refining and adding smaller details next. I might add little things like screws, bolts, bevels, and wear and tear for more visual story telling. Improved the poly paint a bit on Samus' eyes and face and hair to make her more appealing. The hair is also more defined now and I've added more strands to adjust later during the posing process. Stay safe and be nice to ...

Samus Aran WIP 003

Hey everyone in this update Samus suits up. Still in the rough concept phase and things could change as I figure out more interesting shapes as I continue tweaking, but overall I think it's coming along well. Fitting Samus into the suit with the original proportion itself was pretty challenging. It's actually impossible because the proportions from suited Samus in the original games and zero suit Samus are no where near close to each other. Armored Samus has an extremely wide shoulder and her...

Samus Aran WIP 002

Once again hope everyone is doing well. It's been a pretty eventful week to say the least, but I've managed to scrap together some time and get things done. Samus' body proportions are mostly figured out, but there may be minor tweaks here especially once I get started on her armor. Her hair should be next on my list and I'll be fiddling around with that to see if I can alter her original hair design in some way to bring something new to the design. After the hairstyle is done I will start th...

Samus Aran WIP 001

I hope everyone is doing well. Here are the first set of images for Samus, and friend! There are a couple of experimental ideas in testing before I decide which one to persue. One thing that is for sure is that the Metroid is a key character/creature in the series so I feel like I have to add it to the scene. There's no way to make the Metroid look good in the final print unless its printed in transparent resin, so I will separate the spherical part from the fleshy pink parts. I hope all you ...

Term 2 Project Poll March 2020, Final Round 3.

Top 3 contestants! I've got some ideas already for some of these characters, but we will see which idea I use in the end. One vote per person this round and the round ends on Saturday, March 7. I will not vote in this round, but if there is a tie in the poll results then I will choose.

Lucy Heartfilia STL Checklist

These are all of the contents to the download files for Tier 2/3 Patrons.
Tier 2 will receive all parts in purple and Tier 3 will receive everything on the list.
Tier 1 Patrons are getting the lower resolution main version figure in full with the base and glasses separated.

I've also finished rendering and compositing the images and those will be posted along with the STL files. Once Patreon is done processing payments then I will send out links and passwords to dropbox.

Lucy Heartfilia Term 1 Completion Charge Post.

As the title says this is the post that will initiate your payment for the completion of the Lucy Heartfilia term project. Files and passwords will be distributed through dropbox links the first week of March.

I will post the diagram of all the pieces that will come with the project once the test prints have been completed.

Term 2 Project Poll March 2020, Round 2.

I picked the notable less than top half of the last poll result. Same rules as round 1 apply, vote for as many as you'd like but voting too much may bring multiple characters to a tie. I will bring over only 3 characters for the 3rd and final round. In the event of a tie for round 2 I will refer to round 1 and see which of those two tied characters got more votes in round 1 to pick the one moving on. If there is still a tie then I will pick the character that interests me more. Thanks everyon...

Future Charge Post Notice, Lucy Test Print

The charge post for Lucy term project will be made on the second round character vote polls, just a little notice ahead of time. Round 2 polls will be shorter than the first and I will ping everyone on discord to make sure you get your votes in, same for Round 3.

As for the progress of the final STL files. I'm still test printing and found some difficult parts to print for Lucy so I have to go back in and edit it. The chains are too fragile to print on an FDM PLA printer so I ended up ...

Lucy Heartfilia WIP 008

Refining process mostly done and the next thing to do is to key the pieces. Here's an overview of both versions of Lucy and all 3 hair styles, also the no horned head. The planned interchangeable parts are the heads and boots only this time. Not all arm versions work as interchangeable parts because the shoulders may be slightly shifted back on certain poses. So each version of Lucy may have their own arm right arm pose. The seat is planned to be universal to all versions to avoid having to r...

Term 2 Project Poll of March 2020

The requests are in and it's time to vote! I see some popular returning nominations, overall a lot of characters that I'd love to work on. The page ran out of polling spaces, but luckily we had the EXACT amount of characters so we only need to worry about one poll page this time. There is no voting limit for round one so pick as many characters as you wish. This poll will run for one week, looking forward to see which characters go into round two.

The Nominations, Polls tomorrow.

This is the list of suggestions so far.  Any last minute suggestions you can comment here. The format will be the same as last time with the 3 rounds of voting. First round you can vote on as many characters you want and half of the top voted characters will move onto round 2. The top 3 of round 2 will move onto round 3 where the voting will be limited to one vote per person. I will participate in round 1 and 2, but will not vote on round 3. If the results show a tie then I will be the t...

Lucy Heartfilia WIP 007 NSFW

Lewd version of Lucy  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) . Too lewd or more lewd, or artist choice. I'd like to know your opinions and reply with a thumbs up or post a comment.

Still in the refinement stage and reorganizing some subtools in Zbrush and reassessing the deliverable. Stay tuned!

EDIT: Oh yeah, don't forget to spam me your characters in the suggestion post.

Lucy Heartfilia WIP 006

 This will be the alternate version that Tier 3 Patrons will get along with the main Capricorn version. Still need to create the proper hairstyle that the anime portrays with this costume and create her other accessories. So there will be 3 hairstyles and 2 facial expressions in the final, this mixture will create about 6 different heads to print and I am aiming to make them all interchangeable with any body. Some parts like her right hand were reusable so I just had to make minor adjust...

Submit Character Ideas For Next Project.

Alright everyone I need your ideas for the next project. Go ahead and spam the comments with anything you want and I'll add them to the next polls. We will probably go with the 3 round polls again. You can resubmit characters that didn't get chosen last round.

P.S. WIP of Lucy will come a little later today, going to work on here a bit more before I post.

Lucy Heartfilia WIP 005

Getting close to completing the Capricorn costume. I think I like the glasses with the frames only so I'll make that an option in the final, but printing that could be a pain. Still thinking about the next steps to do stay tuned...
