Alright! the big fella has come along nicely and is ready for a pose and a nice final polish. That should all be doable in the next session so depending on schedules he shouldn't be too far away from your tables!

Thanks for the patience on this while we sorted out a few issues but we have a mob of 3 twig blights to show for it!
As always the 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper minis, a stat sheet and online VTT tokens have been added.
Nice little spin render if you want to check it out a bit closer.

First pass of proportions down and what a unit! I've got all the legs meshed in properly so it will be much easier to make any tweaks moving forward. Next will be a bit more refinement of the shapes and getting the spikes laid out which will bring it all together but I'm really liking it so far!

This month we have a collab with Grinning God and their sweet Stalker! They are fairly new to the patreon world but I've been following along while they have been designing great minis for ages so I jumped at the chance for a collab once I seen the launch!

The big boi won and I can definitely see why, it's one of those times where the official art is great and it plays into my style well. I'll probably grab some iguana ref for a bit of direction on the general look of the head and see what evolves from that and I'll be able to rip apart the base mesh from the guard drake to start piecing together the proportions of this 8 legged chonk.

He's had the bark pass and the proportions have been tweaked like I mentioned in the previous update which was mainly just shortening the torso a bit more and having longer legs. After how it looked from the quick colour pass I'm happy to move it on to the posing stage which will most likely be tomorrows session, but given that it's just a basic figure that will be pretty simple.
That also means a new vote! I've got a few requests on my list but it you have more let me know and I'll get...

Just a quick update to address a problem area on this creepy old bloke.
There have been reports of issues either with printing the lantern or having it snap off and I can see why with how small that handle was... so I've added a much bulkier handle in a sneaky way so it wouldn't need to take time out to be re-supported.
The fix has been done to all the files and should hopefully give a much stronger connection and keep the lantern in place.

Doing what a snail does this fella took his time getting here but he finally made it!
This is a pretty sizable monster which just makes it that much cooler on the table, it also comes with a version withdrawn into the shell because apparently it does that and cries when all it's flails get cut off?!

I know I forgot to put up a moodboard but things have been a bit hectic this past week (I launched an official website, it was a lot of work) but I wanted to do this one as well with how popular it was in the vote and its come up a few times along the way as well so why not.
This is mostly just silhouette work right now, I'm thinking about shortening the torso even more so it's still bipedal but moved a bit further away from reading as humanoid. Once I figure that out I'll use it as a b...

Just some more quality of life stuff I've been plugging away at this past week. Almost every file in the collection has been repaired to fix a strange issue happening outside of Chitubox.
It had been mentioned a few times that the files would throw errors when used in Lychee and would be a pain to repair. I originally thought it had something to do with how Chitubox saved the STL's as stuff obviously printed but the more I looked into it the more it seemed that Zbrush wasn't exporting f...

Another month down and another bonus drop! This time we have a large gluttony demon joining the ranks and something a little different. The owl was a competition prize with the winner getting a design of their choosing, they specifically wanted a northern saw whet owl as a bust sized miniature. It might not be of use in your games but it was too cool not to share!

Got a bunch more of the detailing in now, it just needs some final touches and a bit more of a pose. Then I can do a quick clean-up pass and get it off for supports.
Once that's on its way I might tackle the twig blight if you're keen to see it? It's almost bonus time as well so a few more pieces will join the collection in the next few days which should keep everyone busy!

First of all apologies about the silence since the moodboard dropped, I never would have expected a snail could put up such a design problem!
I cant even put a number on the amount of shell designs I attempted and different techniques I tried to produce them. I was going for a more segmented approach but trying to make what seemed like a pretty simple shape follow that spiral was far from simple...
So what we have here is the first version I actually like enou...

Just a quick update about some re-organising of the Dropbox structure.
I've gone through the entire thing, both unsupported and pre-supported directories and consolidated everything into their specific folders. So now everything you need for a specific design is located within it's own folder which should make downloading stuff much easier.
I've kept the general gallery and stats folders for quick scrolling but those images are now all in their folders along with the tokens and pa...

He's finally here! I hope I done this one justice and brought in something different from the usual way they are designed but messing around with skulls is always fun regardless!

Ok so I didn't realise these things were so damn big! I can understand the excitement about it more now. There aren't that many parts to the design so I might take on the twig blight as well if I can get through this fella quickly, it was quite the popular choice as well.

Had a busy weekend but got him all polished up and ready to be posed which should be pretty quick given how he's put together but I'm not sure what it will be yet, so if you have any ideas let me know!
I'll have a look through the ideas/requests list and get a new vote going shortly as well.

Got a few more updates on this one you all. The more linear style heads was the preferred option from everyone I've asked so I continued in that direction and blocked in all the major parts. I'm liking the overall silhouette and positioning so next up will be refining all the individual pieces to a polished stage and making him some weapons!

Told ya it wouldn't take long to chuck some shapes around and try things out!
I'm still leaning towards the heads in a triangle myself but wanted to get your opinions on it, also going with a magical/mystical/halo type idea for the 'crown' but like I said just chucking shapes around right now to see what looks good.
Check them both out and let me know!

This popular dude took the vote by a fair margin!
There are a couple of cool design aspects we can make our own here. The main stuff being the head and crown treatment which I've already got a few ideas floating around for. Straight away I wonder why the heads aren't in a triangle formation giving it a full range of vision, which could also lead to some more interesting crown designs. The moulded crown in the central pic is a cool idea but something more 'magical' like the top rig...

He's here! It was a cool little sculpt to design and I think I captured that creepy murderous look pretty well with the final pose!
I've got a few bonus designs coming as well, just need to finish off some tokens but keep watch for those in the next day or so.
The usual 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper minis, a stat sheet and online VTT tokens have been added.

This cranky old bloke is ready for the next stage, I'll get a pose worked out and give the cloth a proper pass once I know where it's going, probably scuff up the boots and just add general polish to the whole design.
It's only early afternoon here so I'll go back over the requests and get a new vote out later tonight as well!

Just a quick update of where I'm at with the Redcap.
Mostly just blocking in big areas and playing with proportions but I'm liking it already which is good! He's still shirtless at the moment because I haven't come up with anything that suits just yet but I've got a few more ideas to try out.
2021-10-17 10:08:35 +0000 UTC View Post
This should be a fun one and pretty straight forward to design. I'm really liking the more wolverine-ish extended hood on the middle right image and the really sinister look to the bottom right and I'll probably stick to a smaller goatee rather than a full beard to move it away from the evil santa look as well.
If you have any other cool pics or ideas just let me know!
