Collab time! 3D Print Cleric

For the collab this month I was reached out to by a fellow Aussie who is in the beginnings of their mini creating journey. I can still remember when I was just fresh on the scene trying to get eyes on my designs so I was more than happy to lend a hand and spread the word. In return we are getting 2 designs from the Morta theme and a special mounted version of the Dire Bat!

Check out them out and leave some feedback if you have any, I'm sure they would love to see what you think!  View Post

Dire Bat has been released!

The Dire Bat has swooped down into the collection! It took a little bit of wrangling to sort out those damn back legs but it just wouldn't be a bat without them (as painful as it was). Going off the lore they can used as mounts so he's pretty chunky but I think it works well.

The usual 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper minis, a stat sheet and online VTT tokens have been added.

A fancy spin below if you want to check it out a bit closer.

Vote - Round 29

Next round is up! We've got a bunch more requests to pick from and I threw in the Redcap for anyone looking to run The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. As always feel free to throw ideas out for future votes!

Dire Bat ready for polish and posing

Made a few proportion changes and got a bunch more detailing done but it's pretty much at the point where it needs to be posed to give it some life. I'll refine it more once I get that worked out, there is no point messing with the wing membrane while it's all flat and not reacting to the pose.

I'll get the next vote prepped as well and have that out in a day or so.

Dire Bat block outs

I think I've pretty much got the proportions blocked in now and can move on to combining it all into a proper useable mesh. Bats have really strange anatomy going on with the back legs, the hip joints are almost rotated 180 which took a bit of playing around with but it just doesnt look like a bat without them.

The first pic is where I started and most likely where it will end with a pose along those lines but I've got him all stretched out and boring for now to make sculpting easier. View Post

Monthly Bonus!

When I said there was a big bonus coming I meant it! 

We now have a Kraken in the collection and this thing MASSIVE, 12 individual sections to make it up and the craziest part is this pose is only showing about 30% of the body with the rest being 'submerged'. I've chucked in a couple photos from the test prints to check out as well.

Also because it was asked for we have a Halloween themed mimic to go with the other seasonal variants. Lance got a bit excited while doing suppor...

Marilith is here!

The Marilith has taken her spot on the front lines!

This one put up a fight but I'm so damn happy with the result.

The posing and weapon choice  really had me thinking and she got a few last minute additions to suit. The trident is carried in her primary (and highest) set of arms, this allows her a full range of movement either one of two handed and also lets it be thrown, to accompany the trident she got a forearm shield on the opposite arm. Her secondary front arms wield du...

Dire Bat Moodboard

Alright! This should be a cool one to play around with. I'm thinking of going in the direction of a bulked up vampire bat, that iconic head is already a great place to start for a monster. The central pic captures the odd anatomy really well and is a great representation of what I'd like to do with this, the little guys really have minimal muscle mass on the arms and legs but we'll fill him out a bit.

Marilith is all done and just being tested before release and we've got a huge design ...

Vote - Round 28

Had a little change of plans and went with a range of Halloween themed monsters for any one shots you have coming up! Big thanks to the discord crew for helping me come up with the list!

Marilith is pose ready!

I've got the bottom half sorted and weapons prepped, she will have dual shotels, a trident and I'll work out the chain sickle in pose so I dont waste time remaking chains. 

I'll go through the requests and get a new vote up today as well, if you have any ideas for stuff you want to see throw them my way, it's only early here so I'll give it while before posting.

And thanks for being patient on this one, I know she's taken longer than usual with all the 'life' stuff going on b...

Printed Obsession Collab!

With Halloween just around the corner I've lined up something bigger than usual for this months collab. Printed Obsession have shared a full newly per-supported Halloween pack with us! When I first started looking into the world of 3d printing Printed Obsession had already made a name for themselves and were a source of inspiration to try it myself... and here we are working alongside each other!

More info about their patron and designs below!

Marilith getting close!

She's nearly done! I just need to work out the lower body but that really shouldn't be much hassle and I'll start tackling it in a few hours. 

Are there any weapon preferences? I'm thinking maybe a chain sickle could be cool to take advantage of a pair of arms and give good posing opportunities but let me know what you think.

Marilith is finally playing nice...

I'm back in the swing of things now but to be completely honest this armour design is kicking my ass. I've made and re-made it so many times now with differing layouts and segments but *I think* I'm liking the direction it's going in now. 

Sorry for the delays in getting this one out, sometimes I get in a bit of a creative slump and things just dont flow like they should but it's looking like we are over that hump now.

Dark Gods Painting Comp

Jay from Dark Gods has just launched a painting comp with a Sonic Mighty 4K up for grabs and asked me to share it with you all for anyone interested. After the recent GW hiccups with his kickstarter I gave him a hand to help replace some of the lost models. So he's also setup a special discount code just for us if you see something that inspires you to enter!

I'll put the full message from Jay below. Thanks!

Marilith adjustments and armour beginnings

I haven't made much progress since the last post but wanted to get something out for you all to see. There was a bit of an incident with my dogs over the weekend that I had to break up which earned me 13 puncture wounds across both arms/hands (dogs are fine though) so it's been a bit tough to do any decent work with bandaged fingers.

Anyway I've rearranged the arm positions with one pair now coming off the scapula like you would expect wings to originate from, I think that works a lot b...

Bonus time! The Manananggal joins the collection.

The Manananggal has joined the team with a 2 for 1 design. This actually pushes us past the 100 design mark! Absolute madness...

She is based off Asian mythology and was a previous design for Barthels Marvels subscription box (if you want to see future bonuses that's a good preview)

Marilith - Sketching Ideas

I'm basically just experimenting at the moment and seeing where it takes me. The extra arms are just floating for now while I work things out, it makes it much easier to try different positions when they aren't meshed in although I might need to bulk them up a bit more. 

Running with a more snake-ish face at the moment to push into the demon side of things, which I'm liking the feel of. Not sure what to do with the ears yet or if they will even be seen...

Overall it's not a b...

Bulezau Released!

The Bulezau has joined the ranks! 

After looking into the lore and seeing how battle hungry and aggressive these guys are I had to go with a full on attack pose and apparently their weapon of choice is the ranseur so this is where we ended up!

The usual 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper minis, a stat sheet and online VTT tokens have been added.

A fancy spin and a full time-lapse vid below if you want to check it out a bit closer.

Marilith Moodboard

So I had a busy weekend but the Bulezau has been posed, prepped and sent of for supports as of yesterday. Now it's time to get into the main piece!

Straight away I'm not to keen on the "hot chick" armour, temptation isn't the game they play and it doesn't seem fitting for the battle hardened commanders they are described as so proper protection will be one of the main ideas I'll keep in mind. I'm also really liking the more demonic versions with that creepy anatomy around the arms and e...

Bulezau ready for posing!

It's getting late here but I've just finished off the sculpt. It's ready to be posed and sent off for supports which I can sort out tomorrow once I figure out the final pose.

Once that is all done I'll do some more research and get a moodboard sorted for Marilith!

Bulezau progress

Just a quick update to share a few pics of where the Bulezau is at. Some areas are still pretty rough (the tail lol) and there are a few missing parts to come like the mane and all the boils but hopefully that can be knocked off in the next session.

More soon!

Tiger Skull RPG Collab!

This months collab is with Tiger Skull RPG who have been generous enough to share their Marksman of Death! I've been a big fan of the work Alex does for quite a while now, the level of detail across his designs is just crazy - especially the armour he creates. On top of all that Alex also does a great range of 2D supporting artwork, including 5e stats, splash art and cards.

A single vote?!

1 vote. That was all that separated these two... but I guess that's on me for loading the options and underestimating the love for demons!

There's really only one way forward and that's just to do them both (I like them both anyway and demons are fun) plus it would be a nice way to round us out to the 100 designs mark.

The Bulezau is pretty simple really so I'll knock him out asap, we dont even need a moodboard for a stinky goat dude. Once he's out of the way I'll do some proper r...

Great Wight Shark - Released!

The Great Wight Shark is now in the collection! (and he brought a friend)

This was a fun one to sculpt, the Grave Titan gave me plenty of practice chucking damage around and starting from scratch was a nice change of pace. As I had to make a standard shark to begin with that has been added as well just because it seemed pointless to not take advantage of it so now we have two bitey boys.

The usual 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper versions, a stat s...

Vote - Round 27

Time to get this one running while I finish off the final prep work for the sharks. I've had a bunch of demon requests to fill out the ranks of what is already in the collection so that's the focus this time.

If there is anything in particular you'd like to see just let me know and I'll add it to the vote list!

Great Wight Shark - Quick update

I've got a busy day today so I'm just sneaking a quick one out in between everything so you can all see where we are at. The sculpt is done and ready for posing now, I've chucked some colour on to make sure it all works and I'm pretty damn happy with how it looks!

I'll get a new vote out soon so that can get going while I finish this off.

Great Wight Shark - Zombie mode

Life has been in the way these last few days but I squeezed in some proportion tweaks to the base shark when I could get to the pc. I actually got to sit down tonight and made a solid start to the zombie mode, another session like this and I could probably finish up the rest of the body and move onto the polish and posing stage!

The last time lapse seemed to get a good response as well so here's another for those interested.

Great Wight Shark - updates (something different)

Instead of just showing a few progress pics I thought I'd try out the time-lapse feature in Zbrush while I worked on blocking out the sculpt for the shark.

I roughed in a basic shape from a sphere then converted that to a low resolution mesh to use as my base. I prefer working this way because it makes is much easier to tweak proportions on the fly (I do this a LOT) and helps for posing later on. The rest is basically just refining and checking different angles against reference, I alwa...

Monthly Bonus - The False Hydra!

We're back on to the creepy designs for this bonus round! I had a lot of fun playing around with this, there is just something unnerving about random arms coming from places they shouldn't be... then I made it worse with some faces to match. 

I've got versions with the heads split off for gameplay as well just in case.

Great Wight Shark Moodboard!

I'm not even going to pretend I didn't want this to win, it's such a cool concept that I cant wait to get started on!

I think the pics speak for themselves for the general direction, big, brutal and unstoppable. If I'm smart about it we can end up with a normal shark as well which would be a nice little bonus.

Speaking of bonuses, the current drop for this month is almost ready to go so and should be sorted for release tomorrow. I've also started mucking around with transferring t...
