One 🅿OLL to bring them all (ended)
🇵Another poll, the first of 2024, we are more than 400💣, so this will be an open Poll. I'll make another one just for supporters. But in this moment i would know a global idea.
🇵The upcoming release will be regarding a non Marvel character, from a famous manga but with my realistic style. I'll show you (tomorrow i guess)
🇵But here some character advices i've received through DM here or from Instagram giovanni_panarello.art
🇵Someone suggested the Fantastic Four to me, and it's doable, but to make it cool, we'd need to create all four characters. I need a moment to coordinate with another person; otherwise, it could become an endless task. Two of them would work well based on my concept of pose and action, while others, not so much (like the Invisible Woman). :) Also, Spider-Man is highly requested, and I'm reconsidering that one. I have other ideas for that character.
🇵Lesser-known and secondary characters pose a great challenge for me, but it's an exciting opportunity to bring them into the spotlight without completely overhauling their deisgn, as I did with Man-Thing.

In my final reflection, regarding my Patreon, Our Patreon, it's gaining recognition, and unfortunately, I've noticed STL models being stolen and shared freely on various sites, as you're likely aware. I understand that such actions exist in this world and in this community, but please recognize that I am an individual, not a corporation. If this behavior persists, Patreon growth will be hindered, and it will become unsustainable.
The price I've set, as well as other artists, is low. We've somewhat adapted to market logic. However, even this isn't enough. If I had set it at 5 euros, people would have found a way to get it for free. However, I opted for this way to have more freedom because I enjoy the idea of many people having access to my creations, and I value the exchange with others. I aspire for this to become a full-time endeavor for me. Those who join are seeking premium-quality work, not just limited to the character, given the abundance of options available. I hope this message resonates. Currently, we have 58 active members, and our community has grown substantially. I believe we will continue to grow. But it also depends on you all :-) Let's make a difference, let's give it a try!💪🏼
Write other characters idea or consideration in comments. i will read them with pleasure 🏋🏻♀️

Have you ever given any thought to doing original characters? I know that would be extra work on your part, but man some unique models would go a long way to make your business stand out among the crowd! It’s a gamble for sure, but this same discussion/vote is taking place on every subscription service (it seems) on Patreon. Everyone is voting for the same things. 😂. I would love to see some original creations for a change. There is some great stuff being created in mini form every day, but if you did it in your STATUE scale with the level of detail that you produce…. WOW.
Not original but more non common not over-done characters. Ones like Kaine when he first appeared or doppleganger, carrion, puma ect that have never been done esp within the print community
ugh please not another storm
Ahah. A cool storm and a cool venom
Hey! 👋 Here are my thoughts on model choices, a bit of Text to read 😉 1. Venom: i fully agree that there are plenty of Venom models out there.Some are better then others but still there is a demand for a truely great venom model. Whats important for a good venom model? Glad you asked! He should be muscular but not hulk like monstrous. His spider logo has to be accurate.Also skip those weird modern Symbiont tentacles and Symbiont goo on bases.Speaking of bases, the base should help to tell a story/scene that makes sense. Not to pick on ZeZ Studios venom but just to give a example (no hate here) The base has a green Rocket/Nuke or whatever this thing is on the base. Why?! Makes no sense....instead there could have been a daily bugle newspaper reporting over Spiderman.That would have made sense in the sewer. Pose: Venom is like Spiderman very dynamic. A Captain Morgan pose has already been done to death also the crouching/lurking pose. This is a tough task for sure. Head: most Venom models have multiple head options. Like toungue, without toungue etc. Which is great! Switchouts are always welcome😉Most painters would love to have the mouth a seperate piece to paint like in Sideshows how to paint venom YouTube video. And now the last point, a McFarlane Style Portrait of Venom.Classic Venom 👍 2. Choice of models: i know most people (includes myself) like to have some Characters that are not very common BUT those alone wouldnt reel in many new Patreons. Man Thing is one of those great rare Characters,which you did wonderfully, who has become more known due its appearance in the D+ special. So having a main character and a rare Character is the way to go i guess. 3. Including Patreons in the process: In some cases its great to get Feedback from your Patreons but also its Impossible to please everyone. Its the best indicator of what people want so you should use that in your Advantage. You dont have to do this all the time cuz its time consuming however in Community Feedback are golden Nuggets to be picked 😉
I appreciate your detailed feedback. I agree with you on many points. I seek the community's opinion to understand the overall sentiment and taste, but I try not to get too swayed. In the end, I have my vision of the statue that will hopefully please many and disappoint some, but fortunately, there are many offerings about model. On Venom, I'm agree with most things (the idea of the newspaper is nice). To be honest, I wanted to recreate a fight with Spider-Man, playing with the body and symbiote effects, giving the impression that it's in motion – a significant achievement for an artist. I like less the idea of switching heads, but I understand that for painters and collectors, it's a cool feature I hadn't thought about. :D However, there is also Storm, I believe we will prioritize a heroine, which would be the first.Tonight or tomorrow, I'll update you on the model I'm working on, which you may have seen in the Instagram stories.
I hope some of the more obscure characters make the cut. There are so many Storms and Venoms out there (and do hope to see them in the Panarello style eventually).
Crazy how many people just vote for the same popular characters on every Patreon. I think if you just make what you like the quality will keep people coming. Dont pay attention to polls.
Ahah. No worry i imagined. I also take popular and less famous into consideration, so I intend to do them all. the important thing is to make them look cool. On venom I will do something original.
Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Red Hood, Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes, Darth Maul, Alan Scott Kingdom Come, Iron Fist, Kenshi, Commander Shepard, Thane (Mass Effect),
Oh yeah thane from mass effect could be cool!
Masters of the Universe💪💪💪
My vote is for Tank Girl. You're work is stunning. With that in mind, I'd be interested to see your take on a female character. The male ones have been outstanding.
I know gherr are a TON of venom and carnage out there so how about other symbiote characters. More villians. Mostly heroes are done but stray from the ones that are constantly done IE magneto, doom etc
Lois Lane, there are a million Superman models but never seen Lois depicted before 🤷🏼♂️
Grifter from Wildcats
Professor X
Here are some characters that don’t seem to get much notice that would be more unique and could be awesome coupled with your style:
My personal advice is to flip flop each time between popular and not as popular characters. You'll bring more people into your patreon with well known yet you as an artist don't want to lose the fun and enjoyability of making art. It's great to get paid but keep the passion by doing what you want. Make a spiderman but if you feel you want to do something original and unique or more of an unknown charecter than do it. I'll support you!
🫶🏻
It would be cool to see what you did with something like the Crow or Pitt. Also, some movie characters would be cool.
So many ideas if your looking for an unusual ideas you could go with the monsters of the marvel universe
I love this Patreon and will continue to support! I just picked up a new resin printer and will start promoting your prints on social media in hopes of growing this community! Side note, I would love to see more comic characters, Wonder Woman, Batman, Wolverine, X-23, Venom and Carnage in your style would be amazing. More Star Wars characters would also be a great addition as well 🙏
oh i forgot to add star wars!!! thanks Ashley for kinds words
Agreed, how many are needed?
For model ideas? Any suggestions you have are welcome :-)
Hey ! Merci pour ton travail qui est d’une qualité incroyable. N’est pas peur pour les modèles volés et distribués sur d’autres sites. Si les gens aiment ton travail, ils voudront payer pour te soutenir dans tous les cas ! Continu comme ça tu vas être reconnue
Guys. There are a lot of Venom models why pay for what you already have. Why not vote for the same Nick Fury, for example?
You're absolutely right. Maybe they want to see how i make it. However, I create more than one model per month, so working on a more famous character doesn't take away from the lesser-known ones. Regarding Venom, I had something more unique in mind. Also, Zez Studios has done an excellent model in my opinion, for the rest.:-) thanks for feedback
