Hello everyone!
It's almost time, in the following month I will be making 2 years of Imagine Minis.
Do you guys have a suggestion on what we should do?
I have an idea of what I want to do but, hearing from you might be a better idea.
Best regards,
Ivo

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I blocked both Dwarfs that I will be using as base for the Dwarven Expedition. I'm still going to refine the Male body shape and face. The male hand will be decreased a bit so that it's the same as the female's (this will happen to ensure the modular hands work properly).
After making the block for the models I decided to make a block of what I was thinking. At first, I only wanted to have an Idea of where the models would be placed but I got carried away...

Hello everyone!
I have successfully printed the Red Assassin.
She was printed on an Elegoo Mars 2 pro, Layer 0.02mm.
Her details are tiny, meaning that printing on a bigger scale should work great.
I will work now on the renders and probably release her today.

Today is the last day of the month. This month I had the help of Fraser (@Thingsi3dprinted) he did the support for The Overeager Paladin, Dryad A, B, C, and Ashela. Thanks to this huge help I could focus a bit more on sculpting (and cleaning my printer after failures).

Hello everyone!
Dwarven expeditions are getting closer and I'm already going crazy in my mind hahaha.
Since it's been a long time since I have done a Dwarf (last year, I guess it was not that long) I will start from 0. This means that I will focus mainly on the body of the characters and this gave me some ideas.
Since I will start with the nude body to figure out proportions I wanted to use these models to make something, my first idea was to make a pin-up but while thinking...

I was planning to release the next keeper as the last release however my printer has not been kind to me.
Today I took the last two out of the printer, it was impressive how nothing was on the build plate, this kind of thing had never happened to me before. While cleaning the VAT, I made a mistake (don't know how) but I pierced the FEP.
While changing the FEP my Allen that came with my printer got damaged and was not able to unscrew a single bolt. I run...

The poll is closed and it's time to announce the winner.
With 33 votes the winner is... The Red Assassin.
A female blood elf assassin who is a sworn body guard of the human king. She uses her two signature magical blades to cut down her enemies with ease. She wears skin tight armor, thigh high boots, large spikey shoulder guards, and a hood that her long blonde hair sticks through the top of.

It's now available on MMF the Dryads, you can find them in your Library under objects shared with me.
They have modular hands and 5 hand options, you can mirror left and right before printing to increase the versatility of the model.

These miniatures have different colors because I just changed my resin manufacturer (To a cheaper one), the reason for taking this long was to ...

Hello everyone!
I'm sharing some progress on Ashela. For now, I just blocked the armor pieces with some rough shapes, giving an idea of how it would look in the end. Every brown piece will be wood
The green part of her armor will have some leaves over it, like a camouflage cape (not that this will be its function).
She will have 2 body options, visor up and visor down.
I haven't blocked the bow yet but I also feel that I will need to make a quiver for it.

Hello everyone!
Finished the Dryads yesterday.
There will be 5 hand options for them: Spear, Reversed Spear, Whip, Closed Hands, and Open Hand.
I will now start Ashela, champion of Thorns (Armored Dryad), for this one I think I should go with wooden armor instead of metal, just to be more into the forest theme, what do you guys think?
Her hands will be compatible with the normal Dryads release, as options I will add:
Hello everyone!
Before I get into this month's Patron Commission I would like to talk about two things:
Hello everyone!
Today I'm releasing the Killer Garden. A set of miniatures requested by the first Imagine Minis Painting Contest winner @Minimanateenz.
This set is a modular ent/Leshy/killer flower miniature. Consists in 5 bodies and 6 heads to choose from.
If you wish to create more variations and print a lot more, I suggest mirroring the bodies when printing.
These were all printed on Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, Layer 0.02mm.

Hello everyone!
It's now available on MMF the March 2023 Patron Commission - Overeager Paladin.
He has modular hands and a 25.4mm round base. You can use any base you wish, it's not glued to the model.
There is also an Extra Egg that you can you for other projects or glue on the base.
He was printed on Elegoo Mars 2 pro using a Brazilian Resin.
The supports on this miniature were amazingly done by Fraser @thingsi3dprinted.

Finished detailing the model. Today I will pose him and add the finishing details.
I will also work on the base. If everything goes well, I will finish him today.
