Apologies for the censorship, Patreon are apparently very offended by the existence of the human body.
The full release for Bonnie, The Claymore of the Night on May 3rd will include:
• 1:10 and 1:14 scale dynamic model of Bonnie hacking apart a zombie with:
• 2 head options - bald and with hair.

Bonnie is all finished up so here's a preview. I'll be doing a full release preview soon and there will be a NSFW preview appearing soon too.

Sharp, pointy, choppy things. Always fun to model. Both will be available in 1:1 scale for anyone brave enough to print them. The Claymore will have two variants, one as you see above, and one with a plane handle so it can be leather wrapped instead of printing the leather. Same goes for the axe too.
Bonnie is a bit too high poly to render out at the moment, but an update will come soon.

Zombie dude is finished up and I've spent the last few days arguing with the armour of Bonnie so should have something to show on that soon. Not much to say about this WIP tbh. Just it's coming along.

I was in two minds whether to put this WIP up or not as I realised I kind of buggered up Bonnie's pose so I'm in the process of redoing it...which means redoing the block in of the clothing too, so I'm basically starting her again. But then I figured, hey it's part of the process and who needs sleep anyway?
Zombie Dude is more or less done but due to the polygon count I wasn't able to easily get a render out. I'll post another WIP of the zombie when I figure out what parts I'm definitel...

Getting started on the zombie that's having it's ribcage busted open by Bonnie. Pretty basic at the moment but getting the pose right has been quite fun.

March Content - Now Expired
The links for March's content have now expired. Getting two figures interacting in some small way in one piece and trying to introduce a more expressive...expression was a bit of a challenge but it was an enjoyable one. Medusa will be available on my website today for anyone who missed her.

Tanis and her dino dogs are all finished up. Here's a quick preview - the full release preview will be coming in the next couple of days after getting the bonuses and extra pieces rendered.

Lots of WIPs for this one this month. This will likely be the last one though as I've only got the hair, headdress, chest piece, shin piece, arm band feathers and a few other pieces left. Getting the base right to support the dino dogs and be printable will be a challenge but let's see how it goes.

I may have put too much effort into something the size of a thumbnail...but I enjoyed it! Looks like a 1:1 scale dagger with functional sheathe is going to be a bonus item.

Dino Dogs all posed and finished. Can focus on getting Tanis herself done now. I'll likely make separate bases for each of these guys so they can be printed separately.

Blocking in Tanis so I can scale the dinodogs correctly before posing them.

Detailing on the Dinodog is now finished. Time to get him rigged up and get some poses sorted.
Enjoyed sculpting this a great deal, makes a nice change to have some fun with creatures

I figured I had better start with the dino dogs for this sculpt as I will have to set up a rig in order to pose them and it's been a long time since I've set up a rig for a quadruped so I'm expecting it to be a bit of a time sink. Now that i've got the main form, structure and anatomical details in I can begin detailing it. Having fun with this one so far.

So here is the full release preview for Medusa, being released March 3rd. Getting two figures done was pretty taxing, but I think it was worth the effort to tell a different story of Medusa that is very rarely represented by minis and such.
In this tale Medusa is a victim. Betrayed by Athena, the goddess whom she served, thanks to the actions of Poseidon. The story goes that Medusa, a priestess of Athena, was a woman of amazing beauty. Her eyes and hair were so beauti...

Hey folks, here's a preview for Medusa being released on March 3rd. I would have added a few more WIPs but having two full resolution figures in Keyshot isn't a great idea even with a RTX 3090 so I had to wait until I decimated them down to more sensible polycounts to render.
Full release preview showing the extra bits and pieces will be coming soonish.

Still got a lot of work to do but the majority of Mr Soldier Dude is now in place. Just got to sort out his armour, shield and sword and then can work on bringing everything together. The base for this is going to be a lot bigger than usual with the two figures.

A lot more work on the cloth and accessories and lots of work on the expression. It's difficult to sculpt a crying face and have it still be attractive! Fixed my rig for Mr Soldier Dude so there will be some WIP shots of him soon enough.

Blocking in going well so far even though I broke the rig for my male model so had to use a placeholder for now while I make it useable.
For any wondering, this version of medusa is based off of an alternate story where Medusa was the victim of the vindictive and capricious gods. For those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6VqJUmZLI0

It seems Cassandra has been extremely popular, so I thank you all for your support as she was quite a difficult model to get done. She will be available on my website today for anyone who missed her.

So I kind of got a bit carried away and forgot to do a third WIP shot. I ended up simplifying the board due to the basing and I didn't like the overall shape so I made it more streamlined. She was good fun to work on overall, enjoyed sticking mechanisms inside the augmented elements.

Been a bit slow as I've been taking a bit of a break to recharge and see if I can remember how to relax (spoiler alert: I failed). Mostly been working on the board, but not really liking where it is right now. I'll likely simplify it and make it more streamline, feels a bit wrong at the moment and putting so many things on the underside will likely cause issues when basing it when I come to it. Worked some more on her suit, trying to find some pleasing shapes and panel patterns. Still l...

Getting things blocked in right now after modelling up the machine pistols. Suppressors will be optional on those. Big difference from the concept is the overall pose. After getting it into 3D the original idea didn't really have much dynamism too it without a low camera angle so I've altered the angle of the board and turned the pose into more of a skidding stop/sharp turn than just a straight trajectory which enabled more dynamism in the coat too.
Still loads of work to do obviously. ...

Well...we made it. 2020 is done. At least, I think it is. I'm writing this on New Years Eve and the posting is scheduled for January 1st so there's still time for an asteroid, or the awakening of Azathoth I guess but I'm choosing to be optimistic. Let's hope 2021 heads in a better direction. Happy New Year everyone!

Firstly, I just want to say a massive thank you to Sylvain and Ambrose for acting as judges on such short notice. It sucks that voting had to be pulled, but I guess I should have expected cheating to happen. But thanks to Sylvain and Ambrose the entries were judged fairly using the same methodology and scoring system as each other and the scores are in.

Edit: It has become quite evident that cheating has been happening with the polls that I posted and thus I have removed the poll.
Instead the entries will be impartially judged by master painters Sylvain Aubut and Ambrose Coddington (The Bug King)
