Kenku Moodboard

The Kenku took the early lead and never looked back, these will be fun batch to play around with!

As far as direction I'll need to try a few proportions out and see what feels best, it seems to be either shorter torsos with bigger heads or a taller more elegant form. The only other thing I'd like to do is some small feathering off the arms as a reference to the wings they once had. Short and non functional, along the lines of the the first layer of feathers in the bottom middle image. View Post

New Harpies are here!

We've now got some nice new additions to our harpy line up!

I love how these came out, they were really fun to design and made for a great set. I definitely need to print these for myself!

As always the 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) along with new paper minis and online VTT tokens have been added!

Monthly Bonus + Artists Choice-ish

Ok so there is a lot going this month!

First up we have the Xorn which is part of the normal bonus design schedule but then some extras got thrown into the mix that I couldn't let go to waste.

Long story short, I don't usually take on commissions but I couldn't turn this one away. It needed a Griffin and Unicorn laying down together and they were happy for me to make them additions to the collection. Seeing as I had a horse sculpt I made a few poses and made a separate horn to glu...

WE DID IT! 700 PATRONS!! IT'S DRAGON TIME ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰

You're all mad. Every single one of you.

I cant believe we've made it this far and I need to thank you all for supporting me. Everyone from the people that have been along for the ride since the beginning to the flood of new members that pushed us to new heights, this literally wouldn't happen without you!

For that I'll be taking on probably the biggest design challenge yet, the bar is pretty damn high for a dragon but I think we can take it head on. I've been collecting general r...

Ninja Tortles?

Done another detail pass over the base Tortle then started playing around with making accessories and weapons for the group. Picked a few colours for reasons.... and layed a bunch of the parts out to see how it all comes together. 

After seeing it I'm pretty confident we will end up with a kickass set! Each one will get it's own custom treatment and arrangement of bits like usual, you can see the start of that in the last 2 images with the beginnings of a permanent sword holding so...

Tortle beginnings

Quick little update with this chonk of a tortle. 

I think I've got the proportions where I like them, it's feeling nice and heavy which is what I wanted. The skin still needs to be roughened up but I can start messing around with accessories and give it some more character while I do that.

Tortle Moodboard

That was a pretty convincing win for the tortle!

I had a look around at what's been done then went and collected a few images that grabbed my attention. Most mini designs I found lean more into the monk/druid direction but I really didnt see many badass takes on them and that's a direction I'd like to explore.

Obviously there is certain group of turtles we could take some inspiration from for loadout but we'll deal with all that once a base is established.

The road to 700 ~ Patreon goals and ideas

Some of you may have noticed an update to the next goal and seeing how we almost reached it last month it's probably time to make a bit of noise about it!

When we hit 700 I'm going to tackle the big one that many people have been requesting and waiting for, a dragon! It's very possible we could hit the target organically this month but I wouldn't say no if you wanted to convince some friends to join in.


The other idea I'd like to chuck around is going back through the c...

Kobold Proportions

I've got some general proportions worked out enough to make a decision on which way to take these guys. After seeing both I prefer the shorter squashed torso version, it will help prints with how small they are as well. 

Either way they probably need some thicker legs and maybe even shorten each section a bit as well.

Thoughts?

View Post

Kobold Moodboard

These guys took the lead from the start and never looked back!

It's not hard to see why either, this is a way better design than the typical 5e look. I'll get a base mesh going, play around with the torso lengths and we can choose which way to go from there. Both the short and long proportions look cool but its always easier to compare when they are side by side.

Ettin ~ Monthly Bonus!

I know a few of you have been waiting on this big guy to drop but now the Ettin has finally joined the collection! 

While I didn't get any additional designs done I did make a cheeky tweak to the Yeti (removing the horns) to give us a Sasquatch variant as well.

Cultists Progress Updates

This is where I'm currently at with the cultist designs, I figured I'd make a female version as well while I was at it!

They are pretty much ready for posing and a final pass along with some additional details so they aren't all identical but the robing will mostly stay the same, it is a cult after all...

Cultist Moodboard

Like all the moodboards this is a bit of a brain dump for the general direction I'm thinking for the cultists. I like the idea of them wearing a mask, books and daggers are a common theme as well depending on the poses.

I'll make a start on the basics and see where we end up from there, if you have any other ideas or reference let me know!

Death Tyrant WIP

So I started with the original beholder sculpt and carved away at the meaty bits to come to what I would figure the skull would look like, which actually worked really well!

I'm playing with the eye stalks and planning to make them separate and removable with a ball joint type key so they could be positioned however you like, not used at all or printed in clear for the floating eyes look.

View Post

A single vote!

Well that was a way closer than expected, it was vote for vote right until the end with the top 4 options very close to each other.

Which of course makes the only option to sculpt the top 2!

I'll start on death tyrant first seeing as its basically just a beholder skull then I'll collect some more cultist ref to start putting ideas together for those designs.

GOOSE HYDRA RELEASED

It's here! 

I made a few versions cycling through the transformation so you can mess with people starting from a 'normal' goose and then unveil the terror as you go! This was a fun little design as stupid as it is but that was the whole point, it's always good to make stuff like this every now and then.

I followed through with the wild animalistic concept on these designs and I really like how they came out, it's way more interesting than the usual humanoid take.

Elemental Experiments

So... this isn't quite where I expected to end up after the moodboard lol

Let me explain how I got here.

I was doing more research for reference and having a look at other designs to see whats around. The humanoid thing is the default option and its just been done so many times I could see why some people weren't interested in elementals at all. 

Going down the jacked route offers something a bit different but it's still just 'jacked fire guy' next to 'jacked water guy...

Elementals Moodboard

So there are a few broad ways to approach these designs, semi humanoid with a more formless shape, semi humanoid that's more defined or even going more of a monstrous\animal direction.

I think they all have their own strong points and I'm not particularly drawn in any direction just yet but it does look like the more formless path is the way most people approach it. I'll have to experiment a bit and see what works but I'd like to hear your thoughts as well!
