Hello everyone!
Yesterday I finished Ergun, he is supported and ready to be printed, but I haven't printed him yet. I decided to start working on his mounted pose before going forward with the print process.
I posed the Gryphon and adjusted all the feathers. I currently can't decide what type of wings to use. To my perception the closed wings pass forward a more regal stance, contained that portraits something like Ergun telling the explorers to march in that direction. The Open w...

Lavia is compatible with previous released Dwarven Expedition Hands (I included a Zip folder with previous hands, if you have already downloaded there won't be any need to download them again).

Hello everyone!
Next month I will start the Corruption of The Glades Part 3.
I still have one last miniature from Part 2 a Keeper, this will be the first miniature after the Patron Commission model, then I will start the Corruption Part 3. It won't be possible to make the Scouts + the Satyrs at the same time, therefore, in the first month, I will focus on the 2 Night Elf Scouts and their mounts (Hippogriffs).
Regarding the scouts, I started collecting reference materia...

"Say ahhhhhh....." - Lavia
Hello everyone!
I have taken out of the printer with success Lavia and all Gryphon nesting box.
Saddly I've taken the wrong approach to this miniature, the Box I should have splitted in two, the frame and the tarch+Gryphons. I only realized this when I was finishing the supports... What is done is done, and would take more time to make this better than print the way it is.
All theses miniature were printed on Elegoo Mars 2 pro using a Gamer R...

Hello everyone!
I had a printing problem with the printing of the Gryphon Nest Box, I fixed the supports and placed it in the printer again. It should be done by tomorrow.
While the printer does her job, it's time to work on Ergun. My first Idea when creating Ergun was to make him a Priest, but after seeing some artworks I thought it would be cool if he was a Holy Paladin. Of course, I don't take things easily and decided to make him usable as a Paladin or a Priest lol.

After a while, I created a Flight Master for the forward dwarven Expedition. In the picture, you can also see the finished Nesting box with the Gryphon. Lavia will be compatible with previously released dwarven hands.

There will be 2 weapon options for her, a Hammer and a Large Shield. The shield will be new.

Hello everyone,
Over the weekend I worked a bit on the Gryphon. I have blocked out the basic body shape to see the proportions and sizes. To save time I reused the wings of the Giant Eagle but, this will be later replaced or reworked.
Today I will refine the shapes of the head and torso.
This miniature will be compatible with 50.8mm round base.
I will keep updating this post as I move in the sculpting process.

Yesterday I started the Fallen King. I focused primarily on the face and blocked some armor pieces.
I still haven't blocked all the armor pieces, but I might need to bulk him up, according to the reference.
Today I will be blocking the rest of the armor pieces.
I will keep updating this post as I progress in the sculpting.

Today I have taken the last dwarfs from the printer. I had 100% success in this printing (0 issues).
I took pictures of every dwarf and their variation with Hood up. I mirrored some of them in the build plate in order to get more variety out of them (and I also printed multiple types of hands so they do look different), now I have 16 dwarfs ready to explore the Ruins. Of course, to explore, they need to find them first, that's why next month we will go Dwarfs again...

I wanted to share some progress on the Bases for the Dwarven Expedition.
I will still adjust the smoothness of the top 3 and bottom right base.
I started making that simple snow base then moved to some wildlife style (the ones below), then I realized that this might not work because snow is fluffy (not that I ever see real close) and your foot would probably sink if you step on it. This means that a 3D-printed snow would probably not look good unless I make a...

Finished the Dwarven Explorers B yesterday, supported them and printed along with A.
I had a small printing problem on the Ax (Belt) on the Dwarven B, nothing bit but still requires me to print me model again.
After I was done printing I remembered that I completely forgot about the bases and I was Imagining how awesome it would be to have a snow base. I will try to sculpt a snow base but I also want to try out these tutorials for crafting purposes.
