The split version of the Nightwalker has had a few tweaks made to fix some assembly issues. It was a pretty tight fit and it wasn't able to sit correctly so I've pushed out the tolerances to hopefully fix the problem areas.
I'll report back when some more prints are tested. If you find anything else just let me know.

Alright so from that mini vote it looks like a fair few of you would like some NPC type designs thrown in the mix. I know monsters is usually my thing and that's what many of you are here for, I wont be ditching those so dont worry!
That's why I've gone with these options over more 'normal' townsfolk types, these should have a wider range of use in your games whether you choose...

This guy is big - really big. He stands at 20ft tall which works out at 120mm for tabletop scale (with the files reduced to 60%). It's hard to get a good angle for images because of the contorted pose, you really need to see it.
There is both a whole and keyed version available along with a b...
2020-06-17 11:12:18 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I get too far ahead of myself posing the Nightwalker I wanted to chuck this out before the next official vote starts.
What do you want to see in the next one? Continue with more monsters or change it up with some NPC's? I'll let this run for a day or so just to get a good idea.
Let me know any ideas you have either way you choose!

I think the big guy is at a stage where I can start posing now. I know it doesn't look like a lot has changed from the previous update but a heap of detail work has been done across the entire sculpt, the torso has been lengthened and his overall stance/posture has been refined as well.
Hopefully I can have something posed and ready to print in the next few days.

Well this is moving along way faster than I expected... pretty much everything is blocked in and it's already taking shape nicely. Some areas have had a lot more love than others at the moment but I needed to get a more solid idea laid down before I could move on, it can be tricky getting proportions looking right if certain details are missing.
As always let me know if you have any feedback or ideas!

Just a little preview of that scatter I was playing with, I still want to rough it all up and add some extra bits but I'm keen to get started on the Nightwalker so I'll probably just jump back and forth between them. It wasn't planned but the theme lined up well!
A few tweaks have been pushed out as well:
- Manticore wings are now a bit thicker, some areas got very thin when at tabletop scale.
- Drider leg tips have been fattened up a bit and some gross geo errors have been ...

Damn the Nightwalker is some nightmare fuel creepy pasta shit! He's a big boy as well at 20ft tall, that works out to around 120mm at tabletop scale.
The official art is pretty cool, I really like the head and especially the jaw. I'll start off going in that direction but you all probably know by now that the designs evolve along the way once I can see what works and any feedback you all have. In general I'd like it to have that undead emaciated look with the creepy stretched skin but s...

A version with folded wings had been added to the collection along with a version of the original that is completely whole. Enjoy!

Just wanted to share the pose progress. There is still a bit of cleanup to do and a little bit of corrective sculpting but I'm loving this design so far. I'll have to find a good place to split the wings off for the larger version to keep any visible gaps to a minimum but it should be fine for tabletop scale as a single piece.

Let's start the next round of voting! I've carried over the Nothic from the last round as both it and the Dissimortuum were a very close 2nd, I'll put the Dissimortuum in a future poll so this one isn't so loaded. All the others were requests I've had through discord or instagram.
There has also been a request for normal humans/NPC's which I'm happy to do. I think that would be...

Alright! He is ready for a little bit of cleanup and then a pose. Really happy with the way he looks just standing there so it should shoot to life with a nice powerful pose. I'm going to continue working on him tonight (it's only 6pm here) so there may be another update and I'll get a new poll up as well, sorry in advance if you get spammed with emails but I'm having fun!

Bit of an update to the big guy, he's had a full re work of the wings for some actual real world anatomy, reduced the thickness of the tail and started on an idea for a hybrid scorpion and spiked tip which I'm liking so far.
I'm much happier with the wings now and can move onto more of the final detailing for the overall design. I'll keep you updated as I go!
2020-05-26 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Alright here's where I'm at with the Manticore. The biggest change has been moving the wings back so the insertion point wasn't directly on top of the shoulder joint, I wasn't sure about the change before I tried it but it's definitely an improvement. While I was messing with that I integrated all the 'fingers' properly as well and gave the wings a blockout sculpt.
I've started to play around with spikes through the mane and the tail, I like the direction the mane is going but I need to...

Just a quick one to update you on all this new tax crap Patreon are bringing in next month. All tiers need to be updated with 'benefits' that you all receive as patrons, I've done a bunch of reading through all the docs Patreon provide about what each type of benefit means and the resulting tax.
The good news is I can class all tiers under the 'General Support' benefit which should make the pledges tax free in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and Swit...

I know, I know... you're probably wondering why this isn't a Manticore update.
I got asked for a commission from a local printer but he needed it asap, part of the deal for getting it done so fast was adding it to my collection for everyone else.
So here it is, added to the collection and ready to go.

Off to a good start on this one! I used the Displacer Beast as a base, removed the extra legs and bulked out the proportions. He has much larger feet, thicker legs, tail and a bigger head. The face is coming along nicely (it took a few attempts) and like I said in the previous post I'm not a huge fan of the official face and going with a straight lion head is a cop out but I'm liking the mix of humanoid and feline so far.
For the tail I think the best bet is to have both spiked an...

So that was much closer than I was expecting it to be, the Manticore just edged out by only 2 votes. Seeing as the top 3 were so tight, do we chuck the Dissimortuum and Nothic straight back into the next round?
Alright so I've got 2 moodboards going, one for the overall and another more focused on the head/face. It's described as having the body of a lion, dragon-like wings and a somewhat humanoid head... a lot of the mini's I've found seem to ignore that part and just go with the head ...

These bits have all been added to the collection under 'Scatter'
This is the little request/small job I mentioned I'd be playing with while I waited for the vote to finish. Would you guys be interested in more random scatter stuff? It could be semi themed like these and wont steal time from the actual minis designs, just for when I have a bit of spare time in between things or when I'm not feeling the heavy sculpting.
Let me know what you think.

Alright let the next round begin!
We have a few requests and a few I just thought looked cool from the list. As always let me know if there is something specific you want to see done. The troglodyte is about 90% through the posing stage and just needs some final tweaks and should be ready in the next day or so.
Any more thoughts on a discord server?
2020-05-05 09:22:02 +0000 UTC View Post
A little bit of cleanup and polish then he will be moving into the posing stage. The jumping/lunged attack idea was a clear winner and really cool so that's the direction I'll be taking.
I'll get the next vote up shortly as well, I've had a request from the Tome of Beasts that I'll throw in and maybe 1 or 2 others I found cool from it but chuck out any other ideas you have!
Also would a discord server be something you would like to have? It looks pretty simple to integrate, if the...

I was able to re-use most of the Lizardfolk sculpt as a base for the Troglodyte, which saved a bunch of time. I think the proportions are pretty much there now and I can start working on more specific details next, like always I'll still push shapes around if something feels off so I wouldn't call this final just yet.
2020-04-19 11:16:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Well the Troglodyte won by a landslide! Here's the mood board with pretty much what I'm thinking. I actually really like the official art, it has that bulk that I cant help but put in everything and that long creepy finger is really cool.
Does anyone have any inside info on the chin/elbow/tail growths? It looks almost aquatic but I cant find much info other than they tend to live in caverns, it would be cool to take ideas from some real world reference if there is anything close.<...

This one came together way faster than usual, it was a lot more fun to design than I originally thought it would be and came out pretty damn cool. I'm hoping to have some more resin shortly so I can catch up on prints and share some pics.
Seeing as the all the madness in the world still hasn't calmed down I'll leave the current collection link up for now just in case the few people that had to leave for financial reasons check in.
Enjoy!
With the Ankheg just needing final prep work we better get this next round underway!
As many of you have mentioned there is a lack of low tier creature designs available so that will be the focus of this poll. These are all taken from suggestions but if you have any more just let me know!
2020-04-10 01:21:02 +0000 UTC View Post
The legs have had a bunch more tweaking of proportions, length and angle, I think they are finally in a good place now. The feet/claws I'm still undecided on but they can be finished off while I polish the rest.
For the pose I'm thinking of doing some sort of reared attack similar to most of the artwork that's around but without having half of it buried. I'm open to suggestions if you have any ideas!
