Special Patron Commission - Poll Result #3

Hello everyone!

I have sad news... today I woke up feeling happy and ready to take the night elf hero from the print bed but, there was an error message on my printer, regarding the USB drive. I formated it and done again, for my surprise 3d printer USB drives are a lot more complicated than FDM USB drives, I could not see a single file... So I followed a tutorial on how to fix this and it did. So I plugged again and sent it to print... again it stopped at 10% I believe... I cleaned and...

Tutorial - Simple Kitbash Using Blender

Hello everyone!

Yesterday someone on Instagram asked if Judgment hands were compatible with Modular Draenei weapons, short answer is no but, they can be.

I love miniature and I know that everyone has different preferences when it comes down to miniatures, so that's the reason I add variations and modular pieces so that everyone can customize their miniatures. I sometimes have problems deciding which variation to print (my problem is way bigger than this, sometimes I have problems ...

Loyalty Reward - Night Elf Hero Archer (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update December 12

Sorry for the delay in the news about the WIP but I had a reason for this, as you might have already seen above, I have uploaded 2 new pictures. The first one is the request, the second one is because I really wanted her with the owl.

She will come in 2 poses, you can remove the shoulders and bow (You can use the tutorial to guide in those steps). There is also a Quiver that I sculpted but in the end, I haven't used it on h...

Special Patron Commission - Poll Result #2

There was a tie for Tyrande and Arthas, with 14 votes each, since the rules to break this tie in order of request, Tyrande wins the spot.

The full request was:

HOTS style Tyrande

No more info was provided (I guess it's unnecessary), but I will take the liberty of choosing the pose.

Even though she is not the best hero I think she is a cool hero, and I hope to do some justice to her.

She will be the Third miniature to be sculpted as Patron Commission but since Nov...

PC2111- Judgment&Storms (Judgment Early Access)

Hello everyone!

Update:

Finally, I could print the Judgment set, after taking a closer look at the printed model I am happy with the end result and won't change anything on this model. To create a different model I have removed the shoulder pads on the no hood option to create a DND cleric style. I will add this extra on the final zip file.

To officially release this I will finish the Storms, my storms print was awesome, for a war veteran that lost his arm! ...

Useful links and posts

Hello everyone!

As mentioned in the Patron commission I will pin this post with the link to other useful posts so things might be easier to spot, I won't overpopulate this post with links because it would be completely pointless having this.

Patron Commission November: Paladin X Shaman (Wip)

Hello everyone!

Update December 5th

Sculpted more details on the armor and the head. Added a blockout for the hair, I decided to change the hairstyle because after trying the long braids at the side it looked silly, instead I will do double braids like a famous Shaman...

While blocking the hair I realized that I had completely forgotten the helmet lol. After doing the Helmet I will probably go to posing before the last sculpting phase.

I have decided w...

Monthly Report - November

Hello everyone!

November is coming to an end and it's time for another Report! Instead of a group shot, I decided to work with renders and do a picture of all the things that were made this month, that will be available on the miniature Vault as a welcome pack. Preparing these renders will help to make the front page updated so that people can see what there is in the welcome pack.

Personally, I am not happy with the group shot because I am in doubt whether or not to include varia...

File Management (Merchant POV)

Hello everyone,

Today one of my Patrons from Brazil asked to organize my files from now on. Since I don't have a subscription to other Patrons I don't know how they organize their files or how to organize mine better. After he showed me the mess that it is to set up the whole store starting from scratch, I finally understood his point of view.

So from now on, every miniature will have only one ZIP containing a folder with the model name with STL files inside and one render without...

November Patron Commission Poll - Result

Hello everyone!

As many of you know next month things will be a bit different but, I think it will be in a good way!

There will still be a November Patron Commission model that will be available to all tiers of supporters. 

The other models won't be available to the supporter tier but can be unlocked as a Loyalty reward. They will still be available to all other Tiers only in December, after that they will become Loyalty rewards.

This was a close call 14x13 votes ...

Next Theme Selection

Hello everyone!

First of all, sorry. I have said that I would open this poll later in December but, the truth is that I can't hold myself.

Defenders of the Glade it's almost at its end and because of that, I have to start planning the next theme. Every time I picture something in my head I take notes and try to assemble a theme and a story for it, of course, If I hold that info for too long it might be lost.

Unlike last time that I threw a bunch of vague themes then went to ...

Defenders of the Glade - Saber Panther Pose 1 - Test print

Hello everyone!

I have printed the first Saber Panther from the Defenders of the Glade. I am really happy with the results, however, I was thinking I was getting good at support but that's not the case, the tail got some weirdlines, the basing was a complete mess, the shield and sleep bag did not printed. I will adjust those supports and test print again, probably once the sentinel is ready (to save time since I have room in the buildplate).

One of the reasons for those failures m...

Defenders Of The Glade - Sentinel (WIP)

Hello everyone!

-- Update November 26th --

Added 3 WIP pictures.

1- Size comparison with Saber panther

2 - While picking the moon from the bag to reuse, I got this Idea, you can add the released bag + the sleep roll to the back of the elf to add a few bits of variation, I don't know if it will work with the printed version.

3 - Weapons. While sculpting the shield I decided to add a smaller one, at first it was supposed to be just a smaller version but ended being...

Defenders Of The Glade - Saber Panther Pose1 - Render

Hello everyone!

I had a nice breaktrought yesterday. I was happy with the pose at first glance, the other parts missing came out fast so I could finish today.

Sadly I won't be releasing for now... My resin run out and I only have another bottle from a manufaturer that I haven't tested yet. So in order for me to testprint this I will have to test this new resin and I will be able to do this only on monday.

Another point that kept me from releasing this miniature is the rider,...

Defenders of The Glade - Elven Archer Running

Hello everyone!

Today I have uploaded on the Googledrive the Elven Archer Running pose.

The plan was that this was my first idea for Leanna Gentlebreeze but, I was not happy with how this pose was looking on her. I was going to discard this pose but, I looked again and thought it was not that bad and might be interesting for someone.

So I added the hood and kept the pose to release a generic running archer. Since the arm position is not favorable to the Dagger I reposed the ...

Defenders of The Glade - Elven Archer Leanna Gentlebreeze

"Good archers like to say, one shot two kills but, that's not good enough for me."

The first birthday present that Leanna asked her parents was the bow, and ever since she got one, training is part of her daily routine. She is extremely skilled but she is unable to see that and is always seeking to improve her mastery of the bow.

Hello everyone!

Today I have uploaded it on the googledrive folder Leana Gentlebreeze.

I am finishing uploading the store and once she is upl...

Defenders of the Glade - Sabertooth cat Wild and mount (WIP)

Hello everyone!

-- Update November 19--

Added more detail to the body and to the face. 

In the pictures, I have added a Closeup of the face and the props that you will be able to glue on the finished model. I also added a picture of the body, changed a few parts, and added a few hair clumps.

I wanted to create something between a Phanter and a Tiger but, the truth is that I did not like how it was looking with lots of hair. I am still trying to figure out how much...

Defenders of The Glade - Elven Archer Lunae Moonseeker

"Darling, this arrow won't miss your heart."

Lunae is a flirty woman that likes to use double-meaning phrases. Like a hunter, loves the thrill and effort of a wild hunt, the harder it is, the better.

Hello everyone!

Lunae Moonseeker is Available on googledrive, she will be available on Minihoarder later this week.

I have delayed this release for a few reasons. During my print, I was not happy with how it turned out. The ears and feathers broke for being too thin, chang...

Loyalty Reward 3 Months: Night Elf Illidan

Hello everyone,

To contine the other post, read there before continuing.

While making him, I left the hoof for last and while doing I kept Imagine maybe I should print him with foot and then make a bigger version for metamorphosis.

Then I decide to keep the foot and the Hoof but a problem came out, the posing would be different because of the bone structure. So I went for a second pose.

So I had two Illidans what to do? I saw some other Patreons and they are working wi...

Patron Commission October: Demon Illidan

You are now prepared!

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to tell you guys that the test print of Illidan came out amazing! Unfortunately, I took the pictures of the unassembled with bad quality and did not see the Image, after I glued the model I took some more pictures and saw how bad it was. The reason the lens was dirty...

Defenders of the Glade - Night Elf Archer Lunae Moonseeker (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Today I have placed Illidan to print, we are almost prepared! It just takes a while because I do it at 0.02mm. While he is printing instead of working on promotional material I decided to work on the second Night Elf Archer from the Defenders of the Glade.

Meet Lunae Moonseeker, I decided for this pose to allow to equip her with daggers (or short swords). I am still deciding what combinations to make for her, I wanted to place 3 options, but because of the added we...

Special Patron Commission: Request (Christmas)

Hello everyone!

I was going to Open the Special Patron Commission on the 5th day but, honestly, it makes no difference if I open early, besides I am curious to see the requests lol.

Unlike normal Patron commission, this one will not be time-related, meaning that is not fast, every subscriber can make a request as long it is before November 20th.

About the requests, you can ask for any fantasy-related thing (Object weapon, prop, scenario object NPC, Hero, Monster, etc), th...
