Hello everyone!
Update March 3rd
This is probably the last WIP post. I Have added details to the miniature. Almost done with the staff.
To be done: pose his right hand and add details to it. Add details to the spell effect. Fix a few intersection problems with the cape. Add a bit of battle damage to the Gloves, Boots, and Tabard.
I made a version of him without the hood but it did not turn out that good (simply because it looks like a random wizard) th...

Hello everyone!
This month was short and intense, this was the first month of the Defenders of the Glade Part2. I started the month with a schedule and did things out of schedule because I thought it was cool. One miniature turned out into six, they had everything to be a simple repose but, they all look different.
Miniatures released this month:
- Patron Commission: Orc Blademaster
- DOTG: Urza Fairbreeze
- DOTG: Kerissa Autumnfire

Hello everyone!
Today I have added on the google drive additional variations of the bear.
These miniatures will always be available on google drive, they are unsupported and untested but, they should be fine. If you have any problem printing, please let me know.
I made a few modifications to accessories but nothing too fancy so it should look a bit less night elf and a bit more something else.
Since I won't be having more time this month to sculpt a new Bear pose, test...

Hello everyone!
I won't spam Patreon page with the post for each so I grouped them together.

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
I have finished the test print of the bear.
I forgot to add another miniature on the side to make a comparison... but it's big.
The printed version it's not bad looking at a tabletop range but it's strange looking up close. Analyzing the model I could realize that this happens because the fur is all aligned forming clear lines.
To fix this I will redo the fur on the arms and legs with less strong and organized furs (at first, the torso seems ok to me).<...

Hello everyone!
Today I have finished printing the last part of the Druids/Barbarians.
While printing Branthir I had a problem, nothing came out in one of the miniatures. The thing that happened was when I did the supports for one of the bear hat, I reused the supports for the hair one and since they have a bit of size difference I had to shift the supports to the new center, until this point everything was good. What I didn't notice was that some supports were shifted beyond what...

Update February 25th
After trying other fur methods I decided to stick with the old fur because it had more volume. I worked on the blend between the fur clumps so that they looked less awkward and smoothed front and back legs.
Now I will export the files and start supporting them, hopefully, I can test print later tonight.

Hello everyone!
Today I have finished printing the previous male druids.
I have added them in the WIP folder but, their supports are OK and I won't make adjustments to the models. It's not released because I haven't supported and printed all weapons yet but they are safe because I have printed them nicely on the Female.
In this case, the male hands are 10% bigger than the females.
I will work on the last Druid, let's see If I can finish him and the Bear before March.

With the pose defined, I started to sculpt the head. To keep that look of our wild yellow superhero-clawed friend I picked a bit of his hairstyle.

Finally finished printing and assembling the models.
I tried to make different combinations from the renders to show some options and I printed mirrored to give the "illusion of choice", since they are kind of unique they don't actually look like an army.
I will be uploading them on MMF now and make the delivery later today.
You will probably see me posting them again separatelly on MMF and Instagram but thats all to reach out the maximum amount of peop...

Sharing the Defenders Of The Glade - Anadyia Bearrage renders.
She is my favorite from the 3 female druids, initially, I was planning on making her render with the ax and shield but, since those are druids and I had none with the staff I changed my mind and made her render with the staff and an Entangling roots spell.
Looking at the miniature right now, just thought that she would be amazing with the Sentinel Spear and Kite Shield... just saying lol.

Another share of a render from the Female druid Kerissa Autumnfire.
On the production side, I got failed support problems, so I will reprint again, nothing serious but still, it takes time.
The female druids that were printed ok, I could test them out with some previously printed weapons, so they are compatible with: Yari Draenei Demon Hunter, Fallen prince weapon and since Fallen prince I used my standard male human hand she should be compatible with Edwin a...

Hello everyone!
Today while working on Urza Fairbreeze, I realized that a lot of armor pieces I can rescale and reuse in a Male version. This kept me wondering since I got requests for a Male Druid of the Claw.
Since it's possible I just need to know if you are interested in this. I can add a few pieces of armor as variations on both male and female to turn them into kind of "unique" miniatures.
What would happen? with one additional week, I could add 3 additional male minia...

Today during the Patron Commission Request post Maria has asked me to make modular female Draenei.
Hands are not compatible because Male is a bit bigger than female, and I have taken this into all my designs.
I don't have any AG model at my disposal but seeing their models it feels that those hands are compatible with female and male models.
My question is, from now on when possible should I increase a bit the diameter of female forearms so that they ar...

Another month has passed, and I have concluded the Defenders Of The Glade - Part 1. This month I discovered how the lack of attention during printing can be dangerous, and took a bath of resin. Always check if the bottle is really closed before shaking, let my mistake be a warning, and stay safe.
