Defenders Of the Glade - Sentinel and Wild Saber Panther Pose 2

Hello everyone!

Today I have uploaded on MMF and GoogleDrive the Sentinel and Wild Saber Panther Pose 2. I had a few printing problems with the model and I had to resupport and send to the printer again.

There are two versions of the sentinel with and without helmet, 4 head options for the Saber Panther (2 from the previous release, they are compatible).

I have updated the Sentinel hand weapons to V3 (added support to the moonglaive+Hand).

Best regards,

Ivo

Defenders Of The Glade - Felenor Wildleaf

Hello everyone!

Update January 23th

Can't believe I could finish him today, but it's done. I am currently preparing files to put him in the printer later tonight.

The pose was not the one I was imagining because his Ears got in the Way, I lost my morning trying but I gave up and went with this pose. 

There will be 2 versions of Him, Mohawk, and Bun. On the Bun version, there is a blindfold that can be removed using Blender or Meshmixer. For Hand o...

Defenders Of The Glades - Wild Panther and Sentinel pose2 (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update January 19th

After struggling a lot with the pose I decided to go with this pose for the rider, the right hand is ready to go for a weapon swing the left one is balancing the rider holding a shield but it also looks good with an alternative weapon. If mirrored and using different weapons or even the same weapons, could be like a charging pose or a flag carrier.

For the Sentinel, the side skirt and the small cape can be removed with Ble...

Welcome Pack 01

Hello everyone!

Today I have created the first welcome pack. This pack will consist of past releases, if you missed you should be able to download them on MMF.

I haven't prepared a group picture and haven't fixed it on Googledrive yet because I thought that having those miniatures are more important than pictures.

I was planning to update this in February but it's available now this month.

The pack consists on the following miniatures:

• Draenei -Kaila

DOTG - Unmounted Sentinel's

Hello everyone!

Today I am organizing the files to release 3 miniatures:

DOTG_SylanaiWildleaf

DOTG_Unmounted SentinelA

DOTG_Unmounted Sentinel B

There are only 3 releases but, 5 minitures. I had some failed supports on the back of one miniature and I had to redo (it's good to use but not for me to promote, at least the back). Since I had to reprint, I mirrored the models and gave them different weapons to give a feeling of different miniatures.

What files d...

Defenders Of The Glade - Unmounted Sentinel A & B (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update:

I have added the images of unmounted Sentinel A & B, B was fast because an Idle pose is a bit more simple to make, but in the end, it's a solid choice.

Both of them are modular and compatible with weapons released previously, the weapons used are only examples. They also have unmerged heads so you can swap or repose them using blender or meshmixer.

I have added the two-handed spear, unfortunately is only compatible with the ...

Defenders Of The Glade - Sylanai Wildleaf (WIP)

Hello everyone!

I went back into the Defenders of the Glade theme, and the first miniature was the unmounted Sentinel, I decided to make a different thing (not that different thou), so I have created Sylanai Wildleaf.

She is the Elder sister of Merion Wildleaf and also the Captain of the Sentinels guarding the glade outpost.

I created her pose using the spear in Mind but, looking at the Image again, I think she would look cool with an elven long sword, so that's what I will ...

Patron Comission Models now available

Hello everyone!

I have finished printing the 32mm standing position, I was thinking on making different posts but decided to make only one.

The files are now available on Googledrive.

I will be uploading them on the store later today and should send to you guys tomorrow on MMF.

The balcony version has a 32mm scale model

Best regards,

Patron Commission December - Elven Queen

Hello everyone!

We are almost there. 

I have placed her on the printer to test print yesterday but my supports were not strong enough and I had a failed print. Never seen something like this, her leg snapped during print and took the whole model with it, added a few more supports, and sent it to the printer again.

If everything goes well I will be releasing her tomorrow.

Note: 

I ask for your forgiveness because of 2 things: The request...

Patron Commission - January 22

Hello everyone!

It's time to start our poll to decide the January Patron Commission Model.

This model will be delivered at the beginning of February and will be available only during February. After that, it will become only available through loyalty reward (Instead of a monthly release, and will not be sold at the store).

Loyalty Reward 06Months: Elven Queen 75mm

Hello everyone!

The test print is on the printer. I will upload it on google drive and MMF as soon as I like the print result.

She comes with:

60mm round base, the render version as in the split. As for extras, I have added a 32mm version of her in the sitting pose, a capeless body (It will require something to fill the gap between the balcony and her butt).

Off-Topic: When handling the resing make sure to use proper gear and pay attention to your surr...

Patron Commission December: Elven Queen

Hello everyone!

Update January 8th

I have created a monster! Hahaha this is by far my most daring project lol.

The build plate is completely full with a single miniature, 6cm Base, the character is taller than 75mm because she is in the 75mm scale (for a Human), I guess I should scale her a bit down to leave her a 75mm size instead 75mm scale... too late for regrets.

I am scared to hit the play button on the printer lol, but I must face it.

I am Back

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delay but, I am back and I will start the December Patron Commission ASAP. I will manage time to make things right.

Something came up this weekend, so here is what is happening behind the scenes:

Well, the thing is, I got a little bit more support and sales than what I was expecting (I'm not complaining here, I am quite happy), this extra support went above the minimum safe value to pay taxes in Brazil.

In order to lower my taxes rates, I ...

Monthly Report - December

Hello everyone!

This is the last report of the year, it's impressive how fast time flies! So many things happened this month so I think this will be a long post.

This was a special month decided only by-poll, each miniature was requested by a patron and voted on an open poll, and things were so dynamic that I had no time to get references before starting to sculpt but it was awesome.

Released this month, by order of release:

• Judgment Paladin, 2 b...

Changes for 2022

Hello everyone!

I was thinking of adding this post to the monthly report but in the end, I decided to create a separate post for this because it might be too much info to add to the report.

I know that the poll is open but even still It's pretty much decided.

I want to keep releasing them as I finish sculpting and test printing, however, I want to have time to promote all the monthly releases as the final push of the month ...

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

If you missed one Patron commission/Loyalty reward I have sent them to you as a Christmas gift on Minihoarder! If you don't have an account, don't worry, there is a feature added in the last month where Minihoarder will wait for you to create an account to complete the delivery.

The last time we spoke about MMF and Minihoarder, and there was some great feedback, I took those to the Minihoarder owner and on the following day, ...

Loyalty Reward 03M - Elven Druid Lady (Test print)

Hello everyone!

Today I have cleanned her. She is now available in the Early access google drive folder.

Since I was using a mixture of resins and the miniature turnued out to be a light gray, when taking pictures with the black background it was hard to see details.

Looking at the printed miniature a few small details are so tiny almost hard to see, so my guess is that if you scale up this miniature it would be possible (but not too much because of the poly count).

Th...

Patron Commission Request - December

Hello everyone!

Update: all 7 slots taken.

Since this month we had the Special Patron Commission during the whole month, opening a request post felt kind of wrong since I was still sculpting miniatures and people could ask for the same miniature, so I decided to open this request a bit later than usual.

There are 7 requests slots to go to the Commission Poll, to decide which will be sculpted. The first 7 to reply to this post will go to the Commission Poll, so reply with som...

Loyalty Reward 3M - Elven Druid Lady (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update 22nd December

Almost there! Just finished the final sculpting. Now I will manage the files, support, and test print. 

I was supposed to finish her but the idea I had in mind for her hands did not work out as I would like so I kept trying and later on I abandoned part of the idea. In the end, I have placed a spell on her left hand as if she was gathering energy and creating a plant. In truth, what I really wanted, was to give her a...

Loyalty Reward 3M - The Fallen Prince (TestPrint)

Hello everyone!

Today I have uploaded The Fallen Prince in the early access folder.

His supports were without a doubt my best so far, guess I have learned a lot with the Female Elf Archer Hero. Of course, it's far from perfect and I still have a lot to learn.

Best regards,

Ivo

Special Patron Commission - Poll Result #4

Hello everyone!

With the Fallen Prince printing, I reached what was planned initially 3-4 miniatures, and right now there are 2 day left of sculpting to shift my activities into promotion and render material but, I guess I am all fired up for one final push, after that, I will take a break.

That being said, let's not waste more time and announce the winner of the next poll result!

With 38 votes the winner is (Single) Ysera in human form!

I have done a bit of exploration on MMF and I am ready to share what I figure out from the platform. We have to decide which platform to use and what can happen, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Myminifactory Test

Hello everyone!

UPDATE: 

Thanks, everyone for the feedback!

I have figured out why, but I don't agree with the process, I will open a support ticket, to see what can be done to improve.

The thing is, MMF has Group and Subgroup,

My idea was to make Group based on tiers and I attach miniatures according to those tiers

And subgroup would be the source Patreon and Catarse users, this would help me manage user lists easier and have a single miniature list a...

MMF Store Open!

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I have finished uploading all fantasy miniatures on MMF and today I have paused the Patron commission sculpt in order to open the store and put a price tag over the miniatures.

I won't lie, it was a pain to deal with MMF structure. Yes, it is a beautiful interface but, all the commands I need to manage my sculpts are inside them. Even to group them up I had to get in as a user and create a collection to add them together.

I haven't found a way to gi...

LR03_FemaleElfArcherHero (Early Access)

Hello everyone!

I have added the Night Elf Archer Hero to the Early Access folder.

I have printed those miniatures using those supports, the way they are they work just fine (a bit hard to remove but doable).

I will change the flying stand, the way it is, it's small and all but a bit hard to glue on the base and easy to miss (almost threw mine away thinking it was support material).

On the Owl I will reduce the strength of a few supports, she does not need that many. I...

Loyalty Reward 3M - The Fallen Prince (WIP)

Hello everyone!

And done! Finished the Fallen Prince. I have managed to position the sword in a different way so I added modular hands to him. I am managing the files, soon I will do supports and should be printing him tonight and he should be cleaned tommorow.

We are almost there! Made a simple block for the hood. I will now Sculpt the Sword and start posing. After posed I will finish the Hair...

Changes for 2022 (Miniature releases)

Hello everyone!

I kept thinking about what should I improve for 2022, the list is big. There are so many things I wish to do.

Let's start with miniatures:

• Patron Commission

I got feedback from many of you about the miniatures released as Patron Commission, it will take a whole lot of time to give them again (1 year), that's too much time.  To compensate that you would not need to be subscribed during this time to receive the miniature (only that you ar...
