By popular demand, I read something about things like kamishimo, tabi and tō, and here's my version of supportless samurai. Grab both in the repository, one is also on Thingiverse.
Coming right up - kabuto, sode, kusazuri - I mean, armoured version.
Androctonus crassicauda, or the Arabian fat-tailed scorpion, is dangerous even when it's a few centimeters long, so you can imagine how fearsome it can be when it's the size of an ATV. Only the bravest (or the craziest) warrios of the Scorpio clan can use it as a mount.
This model is inspired by a comment from Patron Auston. Get them (both with and without a rider) in 2020-02-02 23:21:00 +0000 UTC

Here come the ladies. Long slim necks, abundant bosom and some attitude. Might be NSFW in some conservative areas. Loosely based on a sculpture on a 19th century tenement house.

I was very sorry to hear the sad news about Terry Jones, who passed away a few days ago. I decided to pay homage to the great Python by quickly sculpting a miniature of one of the characters he played in The Holy Grail, Sir Bedevere. It'...
I think everybody agrees that female elves are the main reason teenage boys become fans of fantasy.

Here's a pair of ghouls, to keep you company during those picturesque strolls on a cemetary or an old battlefield. They used to be telemarketers, but had higher aspirations.

Finally, some non-humans. Those long-eared, tall, beautiful creatures. Some people say they are divine and don't have rectums (I'm sorry the models are not detailed enough to verify that information). You can find both in the repository (new address!), and one is also on Thingiverse.

So, since I'm getting more and more signals that it would be good to see more ethnic diversity and include models related to Asia, I will be looking into that direction as well.

You have to be careful with your kids. If you don't pay enough attention they might end up on the street, if you're too protective, they might start wearing weird clothes and casting spells.

A sneak peek of something I'm working on right now and will be releasing soon.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and a warm hello to all new Patrons!
I have to admit that I never liked the idea of skeletons using bows. How do they hit anything without eyeballs? Yeah, yeah, I know, evil magic. But if you've ever tried to nock an arrow then it'll make you wonder how those skellies manage to do it with their bony fingers.
Anyway, here is a skeleton archer in chainmail and a 2019-11-28 16:54:10 +0000 UTC View Post

When I began making minis for 3d printing, I had two things in mind - that the minis are table-ready when taken off the printer bed and that no extra filament is wasted. I never liked supports and all the extra hassle with removing it. Well, the supportless models always need some basic cleanup (and, well, painting) but at least one can avoid throwing away all that support material. I still haven't finished the filament spool installed in June (!), although I've been prototyping a...

This smaller breed of goblins is armed with primitive, yet quite annoying ranged weapon - the sling. Do not underestimate these stone hurling urchins.

Here's some more dwarves - inspired by another architectural detail, a metal dwarf that used to guard gateways to tenement houses (to keep them from being hit by a carriage wheel). An axeman and an armoured variant with sword.
No self-respecting demonologist can go without one. Or two.
Imps, tiny demonic minions, to help you in your daily chores. Inspired by a sculpture on a tenement house in Łódź, Poland. One hornless and a horned variant.

Well, I have been sick for a few days now. An exeptionally nasty form of tonsillitis, which left me incapacitated for a few days, when I practically couldn't eat, drink or sleep.

It's always good to look around and up for new inspiration. I based this Dwarf porter loosely on an atlant sculpture found on a beautiful Art-Noveau villa located in Łódź, Poland . There will be more fantasy creatures minis based on interesting architectural details.

I'm going away for almost two weeks now, taking my sketchbook with me to draw some new ideas. See you back again in October!
So, I started to turn your ideas into minis, six of them. Let me know what you think about them! Sadly, I did not have the time to paint them yet.
Three of the six can be found on Thingiverse:
