Aurumvorax tweaks and updates

Alright we're back on this guy tonight! I've made a bunch of proportion changes from the initial sketch, the main things being lengthening the body, tweaking the feet to be more suited for digging, some overall thickness and a more aggressive jaw area.

I've played around with the position of the fur treatment as well and ended up moving it higher instead of the original idea to bring it down. I think it works pretty well and will give some good contrast to the main body once the all the...

FINALLY..... The Grave Titan has risen!

It's finally here.

There are probably quite a few of you that didn't even know about this, it's been in the background for quite a while now. It was an epic reward sculpt for hitting 325 patrons, done on top of all the normal votes and other bonus designs where ever I could manage to sneak time in. 

Well we are deep into the 500's now and I think it shows just what a huge amount of work this has been. It is by far my biggest and most detailed design yet but it was 100% worth ...

Aurumvorax quick wip update

Just a quick one to show where I'm at and the general idea so far, nothing is set in stone yet and it's all a very early blockout but I think the proportions are working so far.

The blob mane down the back will get a proper fur pass and I might even increase the coverage of it so it reaches more onto the shoulder area and down the sides further. I'd like some nice fur on the cheeks as well so all that could tie in nicely.

I'll get back to it but if you have any suggestions let me ...

Aurumvorax Moodboard

So there really isn't much art around for these guys (or minis), I've had a look over the lore and I get a real honey badger vibe from it. They are around the same size, do similar things (digging etc) and the general body composition is much the same so I'll use that idea as a starting point and see where it takes me!

Glabrezu Released!

The Glabrezu has been summoned to the collection! Will you make a deal?

I really like how this came out, it has a very menacing feel to it and to not take away from that the scroll is a separate piece so he can be used both aggressively and for making those evil deals.

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

And a fancy spin vid below if you want to check it out a bit closer. 2021-07-02 23:53:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Vote - Round 25

I'm hoping to finish off the Glabrezu tonight so it's time for the next round!

Another batch of cool suggestions with some little guys making an appearance (which could get interesting) but you lot know what you want to see more than I do. Feel free to chuck ideas at me, that's what makes up 90% of these votes!

Glabrezu pose ready!

Alright so I've tweaked a bunch of the proportions and posture, reducing the overall weight of the legs and standing him up taller as well which feels much better. Also introduced some crab shell type plating to play off the claws and make it a more cohesive design with all the different elements. Done a quick colour pass as well just to check things out and it seems to hold up pretty well so I'm happy enough to get him posed.

Any ideas? I'm thinking he could be holding a skull or scrol...

Bonus Time!

We've got a few bonus designs this month!

Hezrou is from the Barthel's Marvels subscription box and the Zombies were made as part of an upcoming design.  Both have the usual 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) as well as paper versions, a stat sheet and online VTT tokens.

Glabrezu First Pass WIP

Here's where the Glabrezu is currently at, I've been going back and forth playing with proportions and posture trying to get a good balance so it at least looks feasible for a body composition like this to work (those huge claws would be heavy as shit!). The stubby tail thing is an attempt to add a bit more visual weight to the back (again for balance) and also just to make it have more monster-ish features.

I've been meaning to get this posted sooner but I've been finishing up a desi...

Glabrezu Moodboard

This big guy is gonna be interesting!

The concepts vary so much even from one edition to the next, the only consistent design features are the canine-ish head and the 4 arms so we basically free range to experiment with the rest.

Since it's a demon I went looking for demon dogs to find some head inspiration and really like the exposed skull idea, it instantly gives the demon feel. The overall look of the middle concept is very much my style and with a few proportion tweaks and mas...

Vrock joins the collection!

The Vrock is here! Both 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) have now been added as well as paper versions, a stat sheet, online VTT tokens and just like the Griffin the wings have been split off for easier printing.

I've also done a bit of a clean-up with the dropbox structure, I've moved the stats into their own folder and done the same for the Paper minis/tokens. It makes more sense to me to have them together rather than digging through individual folders.

DM Stash Collab!

This months collab is with a fellow group of Aussie creators - DM Stash and we are lucky enough to get our hands on the Master of Soundless Wings – Etherian!

The team are a group of long time players and DMs with a passion for tabletop gaming! Each month they create full STL & Campaign packs for tabletop RPGs that include:

- 10x Highly Detailed Miniature STLs (including 1 premium/large model)
-  1x Hand Drawn A2 printable map of a whole kingdom

Vote - Round 24

The next batch is up and as usual there are some crazy options that have all come in as requests, remember you can always pick more than one if you don't have a clear favourite!

Vrock - Ready to pose

Alright so I think this creepy dude is ready to move onto the posing stage. Those extra feathers really added to the overall look, he's had some more embellishments and details work done along with a quick colour pass. 

I know I've been a bit quiet this past week and this doesn't really seem like a weeks worth of updates but I've been putting a bunch of time into finally finishing off the Grave Titan as well (about time right...) getting the big fella split and prepped has been a h...

Griffin joins the collection!

The Griffin is here! Both 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) have now been added as well as paper versions, a stat sheet and online tokens.

It's a fairly large print and being in such a stretched out pose made it near impossible to fit in a standard printer so split versions have been made to separate the wings and tail. It comes with a flight base as well to make the most of the diving attack pose!

The usual fancy spin vid below if you want to check it out a bit clo...

Vrock progress!

Got a few pics for ya of where the Vrock is at so far, it's coming together pretty quick! I'm liking the proportions but I'll look at it with fresh eyes next session and probably experiment with a feathery mane like some of the moodboard art had or some demon-y trinket embellishment stuff... I'll have to go back over the lore and see if it inspires any ideas.

Also the Griffin is already off getting supported so that wont be far off either!

Bonus time! ~ Cloud Giant

There's been a few of you waiting for this one to join the collection but she's finally here!  She towers over the Stone Giant standing at 24ft tall and is the biggest design yet, as always there are 32mm + 54mm versions ready to go and split to fit in the smaller printers.

On top of that I've been experimenting with some more uses for the designs that I'd love to hear your thoughts on.

I've created some templates so I can make stat sheets, online tokens (for stuff like roll2...

Griffin - Ready for final prep and posing

I've got the rest of the feathers sorted out down the back and onto the tail and done a bunch of clean-up work along the way. I just need to combine all the feathers into a single mesh to help control the deformation while posing but its 90% there already. I'll knock that out, get it off to Lance for supports and move onto the Vrock.

Griffin - Feathers for days

Just a quick update to show you all some feather progress and how the design is taking shape. The much requested ear feathers are in place and I've change the wings a bit to continue them down into the elbow which I think really helps to bring it all together. I'll run more feathers down the back and possibly into the tail if I can come up with something that looks cool.

Griffin WIP

I've had a busy few days without much time on the PC but I have managed to get a first pass done for the Griffins proportions . I'm liking the more sleek feel to the body instead of being overly chunky, it does still have to look semi believable that it could fly. I also want to soften the transition between eagle and lion, probably by adding more feathers down the back and chest area but that will just take some experimenting to see what works. 

Hopefully my schedule has cleared u...

Creature Armory Collab!

I've managed to line up another mid month collab and this time it's with a talented creator who deserves some more attention. He has been generous enough to share his epic Demogorgon with us!

They have a similar background to me with being an artist from the games industry that has taken those skills to the tabletop, you can check out more of their work with the links below.

Moodboards x2

Ok so that was the closest vote we've had in quite a while.

The Griffin and Vrock were basically vote for vote the entire time with the Griffin only slightly pulling ahead in the last day but the Vrock seemed to be winning all over the comments...

So with that much enthusiasm behind them and if I'm going to be messing with wings again I might as well just tackle both! I've already got a decent base I can work with from previous designs to get a head start so why not.

Now as ...

Animated Armour joins the collection!

The Animated Armour is ready for your tables!

Both 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) have been added.

The plans changed slightly once I started started prepping for the final pose and I didn't end up doing a damage pass. I figured adding texture is something you can do to suit your own taste (and we still get a clean version for anyone who prefers that) so instead I made another pose with a more traditional stance. This way the designs can be used similar to a mimic...

Vote - Round 23

The Animated Armour is off to be supported so it's time for another vote!

Got another pretty varied one here, all options have come from requests and again I've been hit with a few new subjects for me. The Grippli and Vrock are definitely interesting (vulture Aarakocra?) but sometimes you cant go past those classics...

Remember you can pick more than 1 option if you want and keep throwing...

Armour updates + pose tests

Alright so after some testing to make sure it can actually be posed I've done a detail pass and got it to a point where I'm happy with the overall look. I'll play around with some wear and tear, make a sword and pose the updated version. 

That all shouldn't take too long so keep an eye out for a new vote in the next few days!

Monthly Bonus!

There have been quite a few new people join this month and it's around that time so I felt like dropping these a bit early.

First up we now have our own Spectator to match the Beholder thanks to Barthels Marvels! 

Next is something a bit out of the ordinary, a few months ago I was involved in a competition with the winner getting a custom design sculpted. They chose to have a piece of art from ...
