An update on sales tax/VAT/GST


Hi everyone,

Patreon sent me a message about this, just to let you guys know.

I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand, Florida, and Kansas. ...

Hello everyone!

How are you guys?

Thingsi3dprinted finished testprinting Ragnaros, it went awesome. He was modeled in a 32mm scale but, Thingsi3dprinted made it 230% bigger, it worked and the details were amazing.

Bahsuur The merchant (WIP)

Hello everyone.

This is my current status on Bahsuur, when sculpting him i tough of an NPC that could get any item that the party wanted (for the right price of course), he is a tradesman by birth, that lived in stormwind and learned from the most talented businessmen.

He does not care to who he sells, as long as he is making a profit.

I was imagining a pose with him trying to sell that weapon on the picture 2, but it did not looked right with the kind of personality i wante...

Commission Draw June: Ragnaros (WIP)

"By fire be purged!"

Hello everyone!

First of all, sorry for the delay. I was intended to release Ragnaros on friday but, the development took longer then expected. Well, it's ready but, as i told before, i will only release once test printed, so that you guys have no failed prints (Not because of the model, print failure happens).

I made did not made a 1:1 copy, kept only what i thought it would be cool, the classic hammer i made a few changes to the inscription runes. Ma...

June Report

Hello everyone!

Today is the last day of the month, with that i believe it would be nice to do a report or something of sorts to show all the miniatures done this month.

The list will go on in order of release:

- PK-100 - modular droid with 5 torso positions, 5 legs, 2 backpacks, 1 head and 1 drone. (It was the result of a commission draw, it will go to the miniature vault because it was not decided then).

- Lady Audra - Draenei mage with 2 body options and 3 hand opti...

Comission Draw June: Ragnaros (WIP)

Hello everyone,

This is my current WIP of Ragnaros, it is still on blockout phase, things might change alot.

The base i'm using as reference is a 25.4mm (1 inch).

As previously mentioned he will be Patreon and Padrim subscribers exclusive, available only for July.

While blocking him and deciding his size, i kept wondering about miniature bases, so the conclusion was this, every Draenei (my copies at least) i will be placed on a 32mm base, and every WOW race that is big...

Commission Draw:Round 2 update

Hello everyone!

Fraser replied to me. He asked for a Ragnaros.
Well there are 2 rules it should be considered
- a medium or smaller 32mm, so it won't be large but he will be print at larger scale.
- i won't model Batman or political figures... Well it's not Batman, I'm afraid of copyright problems, so i intend to add my own touch to it, not an exact copy to stay in the gray zone.

If any merchant could leave a comment about this Ragnaros and copyright would be a great h...

Comission Draw: Round 2

Hello everyone!

I could not get in touch with Ryan for the commission draw this month, i could wait for him to reply but, that could delay the delivery of the model next month, that is why i created the rule of the five days. I'm sorry Ryan but, rules are rules.

So for the second round, the time is 2 days and i already made 2 draws, using the rules described before. If, the winner does not want anything or goes beyond the time planned, the second is the round 3.

Narluu - WIP

Hello everyone.

I have finished deciding what Armour she would be wearing so here is a progress of the blockout, those poligonal lines are there because i had to hide subdivision modifier to keep working. I have a feeling it is not translating WOW vibe, maybe is the chest armor since wow armors have zero volume. Any sugestions? should i keep going as is?

I really liked the glove pattern i did.

Next work

Hello everyone!

Made this poll to help decide what to work on after the Draenei, is not close to end but, i need to plan ahead and test the methods of voting. I will try this poll if does not work as i intend i will do a google forms.

Change of direction

At first i did not wan't to accept this, but i knew deep down that this day would eventually come.

I have begun modeling using blender in 2013, trying to make games in unity with a friend, he gave up and so did i, in 2015 we tried again he did gave up again. In 2017 i begun to try to make games again but this time solo using unreal4 and blender, it was hard to see any progress so i forgot to make virtual games, and decided to learn to sculpt and do boardgames, it was then that i bought ...

Narluu - Warrior (WIP)

Hello every one,

Just sharing a little bit of the ugly phase of my process of creation.

The first picture where every bit is colored by a random colour is me test posing the miniature before sculpting. She is carring a sword and a shield like a pro (lol it's just for testing purposes because she will be modular and i have to think how well it will work dual wielding). I'm going for a charge stance, a classic move for warriors in WOW.

The other image i join all the pieces and...

Kaila - Mage Apprentice

"Magic is not hard, chanting is the hardest part"

Kaila is the apprentice of Lady Audra, she is a shy teen that loves to read books and decipher inscriptions, dreaming of one day become a Archmage but, for that she must face her fear of speaking in public.

I was expecting to release her on friday but i got really excited to share with you guys.

She has 2 versions, Long hair and short hair. If you need a bag-less version leave in the comments.

I will send her by e-mail ...

Hello guys, hope you're all doing great.

Only five days remaining for our next Comission Draw. I ask that you look at Patreon, to check your messages on the 21th day of the month, if you are the winner i will contact you from Patreon, it would be awesome to give a thought of what you want to ask (following the rules), if you are in doubt or don't want anything in specific you could ask for a remix from an older model (things like, changing the Hair, pose, weapon, convert to fantasy/scif...

Kaila - The mage apprentice (WIP)

Hello everyone, how are you guys?

This is the WIP of Kaila the mage apprentice.

i still have to add a bag on her right side, scrolls on the left and sculpt details, alot of things are still on blockout phase. You probably can't tell from here but i added a volume blocker between her left leg and the skirt, i added this because it would be impossible to reach there to paint plus it will save material during printing.

There will be 2 versions of her, one with the bag and the o...

Aprentice and Draenei Warrior

I have decided the pose for the draenei aprentice (later i will share a WIP), she will have short hair and will be holding a large book with both hands using a coat and a large bag, she won't have a combat pose. I can't decide if i put goggles on her (to be like a nerd), hair band similar to Ruka Sarashina (from rental girlfriend anime), if i put or not a cape.  What i'm trying to achieve is a Cute nerd shy girl, please tell me what you think.

Resin printer on the horizon

Hey whats up guys!

So i have 3 news, two good and one bad.

Let's start with the good news: 

I have decided to buy a resin printer, it was one of my goals once i had more patreons but, i have decided to make this investment so that i can improve as an sculptor and also to gain more post on Instagram and possibly increasing the number of patreons. I am thinking to go with Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, any tips or suggestions?

I am almost finishing the Draenei mage, already pos...

PK100 - Peace Keeper

Hello everyone. 

The test print of the SRO was somewhat successful. Since i use a FDM printer to test print a few parts were thin and broke during cleaning. So a had to reinforce it with armor, that's why it now has a protection on the foot. I have changed a little the design of the drone to make it more cooler.

It is modular, but i have decided to not place the arms separated because since this is a 32mm miniature they could be really small. So in the end there are leg poses...

SRO -WIP

Hello everyone,

The Free Comission Draw this month was requested an SRO but, i got carried away by the idea and made it somewhat modular. I ended up not doing something like adding a feeling or a will to it, making it more droid and less Sentient, if you know what i mean. 

I know this was also not in the request but i also used the assets and made a drone...

This is almost finished, i'm test printing right now, after it's done i will upload the models. Also i will add a...

Future Updates

Continuing

Patreon Workflow:

As you might have realized i'm not like other patreons, i don't do batch releases. I like to get done with a miniature, release it and go to the next one. For now i believe i can sculpt 3-4 minis a month, once i have more patreons i could dedicate more time into sculpting. More minis don't mean i will rise the price, i love minis and i would give them for free, but i still have to pay the bills. 

Do i change to Batch or keep releasing as i g...

Some thoughts about Works and future updates

Hi everyone, how are you guys? Hope you all doing ok or better.

I was sculpting and kept thinking about a few things on my mind and decided to share with you guys, this will be a long post so bear with me.

About scale: I do miniatures at scale of 32mm, that means that from the botom of the foot to the center of the eyes there is 32mm (for a average human 1,70-180), so that means taller races will be a little bigger. 

Why i chose 32mm, because i think it has a little bet...

Comission Draw: SRO WIP

I wanted to share my current status on the SRO request i am still blocking the hands and backpack (i will make 2 or 3 options), and hear your opinions.

What do you guys think? Should i redo any part?

When i begun to model this SRO i had the idea of making it modular and compatible with future SRO so that when you print parts you glue them in the position you like, or should i make it with the poses ready to print?
