It's been longer than I thought since the last drop so just a quick update to keep you guys in the loop!
I had a hectic weekend but the Grells have been fully prepped and sent over to Lance for supports. I didnt exactly make it an easy job so it might be another day or so for these depending on testing.
I've literally just finished the abyssal chicken sculpt as well. Posing should be pretty simple for that one and I can probably knock it out later tonight. I've also got the ...

Just 2 poses for this design, they dont carry any weapons so the options are pretty limited but we have one on the move and one inactive/shutdown.

I've spent A LOT of time messing with this design and I think I can call the overall base modelling done. I can move onto all the additional panel and trim details now that the underlying shapes are there.
The main design idea I ran with was based on the fact these things are 'Inevitables' and don't stop hunting until the job is done. So in my mind it would be designed to do that efficiently, which would mean freedom of the movement constraints flesh and bone creatures have.
So th...

All those flames took some extra time to get the supports right (and pose) but after seeing the test prints it was well worth it. Thanks again to everyone for the feedback on the first pass, we have some much cooler minis now because of it!

I didn't realise these things were so big!
They have changed quite a bit through the editions with the recent version being the most unique so that's the path I'll go with this design. The earlier versions are cool but there isn't really a whole lot of visual difference between them and any of the giant races, which was probably a factor in the design change.
Getting back into some hard surface work will be a nice change of pace as well, at least this will be much easier to pose t...

Better?
This is exactly why I show progress pics, the feedback was great and pointed out the lack of that elemental feel. The flames are definitely a step in the right direction and will only be enhanced with posing and being properly integrated with the body.
I went back and checked the lore again as well just to make sure the other aspects are also on track. Salamanders are described as elemental, reptilian humanoids and also serpentine creatures with a humanoid torso, head, and...

This is where I'm at so far with trying to make some sort of sense out of the varied concepts. I've leaned more into the reptile aspects and tried to have some sort of correlation back to the larval form as well.
Still needs work overall but I'm not hating it, the first experiment wasn't that lucky.
2023-03-09 07:28:57 +0000 UTC

Doing some research on these guys and there isn't a whole lot of information or art around other than "spiny reptilian with a spear"
The official art isn't too bad besides the face, out of all the pics I much prefer the look of the top right but it doesn't really tie into their fire snake larval form either...
So like usual I'll just start experimenting and see where we end up, if you have any suggestions let me know!

This was a fun group to put together! All the suggestions gave me a good path to head down and we have some great variety because of it.
We have a more historically traditional cleric type with a requested female version, an artificer with more of the current pop culture ideas of what a plague doctor is and lastly another request for a small version which turned into a little potion hording goblin/halfling/kenku?? or whatever you'd like it to be.

MMF have been at me for ages to start a Tribes and I finally got around to it. New stuff will be available here a few days earlier just because of the MMF approval process but everything is essentially the same, other than I haven't updated all the listings with chitu files yet (aussie internet sucks and there is HEAPS to update)
I guess it's just personal preference as to which you'd rather go with but the option is there now for those who want it 👍

Dropping off a few extras that have been running in the background!
- Flumph is from the normal bonus schedule thanks to Barthels Marvels
- Pathfinder style Ettercap was a request to make tweaks on the existing designs, it was quick and seemed like it would make a cool boss variant so now it exists.
- Lost Sorrowsworn has been on my list for a while to complete that group, not sure what inspired it to happen now but it did!

A couple examples of what can be done with the parts I've been blocking out. The idea is to layer them together in different combinations so we can have a variety of looks across the final designs. It's all pretty rough at the moment but I think there is enough of a base to start refining things and building out individual sets with more detail and props.

Alright!
It will be a nice change of pace to get back into some NPC designs. The general plague doctor look is pretty well flashed out so there isn't really a whole lot major design decisions to make. Lots of layered clothing and tools etc so this process will be more about chucking stuff in and combining the different elements until it looks cool.
Also - The scarecrow was a very close second and looks like a fun idea to play with so I might have a go at it if I need a chang...

I wasn't convinced in the beginning but I have to say this definitely won me over and they look even better printed! I also made a slight tweak from a great suggestion over in discord, the tail tip is now split off so you can have the stinger or a snake head.
The demon version is on the backburner until I'm happy with the sculpt but at the moment it doesn't want to play nice so I'll mess around with some other stuff and come back with fresh eyes.

Quick update on the posing for the traditional versions. These are pretty close to final and just need some general clean up and refining work done but I think its looking pretty slick!

First of all thanks for all the ideas and feedback on the moodboard! There was so much that replying to everyone individually would take forever so I'll try to cover the general idea here.
So, I think the only way to tackle this beast is with completely different variants. The traditional look is a must have and the demon direction is also very popular which will let us get a bit more crazy (like having a snake head tail as well).
Now to the kitbashing

So many ways to approach this design and lots of room for experimentation, it could get very weird if we want to push it.
Before we even get into the possibility of other animal options I need to mess around with the design of the traditional 3 and the overall layout. So here's some quick thoughts.
- The standard side by side head option is ok but the dragon feels oddly placed, especially being the only scaled creature. Bottom right could be a very extreme take on this setup.

These are some of the weirdest but most fun creatures I've tackled in a while. They aren't supposed to be overly aggressive so I went with some more neutral poses and gave them fishing themed equipment instead of more serious weapons.
I ran some test prints myself and they make for a unique little group! The little guy with the fishing net is a winner for me, it's cool to have something so different.

I've roughed in a general idea so far, I like where its going and this definitely feels like it will be one of the bigger variants. I chucked some colour on to help the process along and while it looks cool there is still lots to clean up and refine.
I also done a quick experiment with a hermit crab type but I just couldn't get any proportions I liked and it was deleted as quickly as it started... I need to approach that from a different angle, I have some other ideas to try but if you ...

So first of all I'm thinking we can approach this like the Owlin and have some different sizes/types of crab for the designs and we definitely need one with the asymmetrical large claw.
As far as overall design concepts, I much prefer the look of the larger body with shorter legs and I really like the look of the leg setup in the bottom left image. It's a good mix of upright humanoid form while still keeping all the cool crab aspects and it makes more sense to me anatomically than some ...

Little update on this slimy mess. The main body is all made up of a bunch of parts at the moment to make messing with the shapes easier to deal with, most of the stringing bits still need adjusting but the overall idea is there. I'll keep adding teeth and eyes while I tweak the rest of the forms, then it will just need to be combined into a single mesh and have all the joins smoothed out so its one big disgusting mass 😅

The big boys are here! I'm really happy with these designs, they needed some extra attention through the entire process just because of the final size but hopefully it was worth the wait. The top spot on my print list definitely has some new challengers!

The creepy ball of death tentacles wins.
Lots of carrion vibes with this, I'll definitely be pushing into the slime tentacle/arm/spike direction with this over a more muscle based approach which will help to keep this and the gibbering mouther visually separate. It can also change form at will so having any set structure is pretty pointless.
I'll start making a mess with basic tentacles and see if we can get some cool looking shapes to refine.

Sorry for the delay in between updates, it's a crazy time of year for all of us and getting some good consistent work time in is harder than usual.
In saying that these very big boys are almost ready, because of the size they needed some extra attention but it all paid off with the end result. They are BIG, the stone giant looks small in comparison which fits in with the lore pretty well and my chonky universe as a whole.
I still need to make some additional split variants, probab...
