July Updates :)
Hello my friends. First off, thank you so very much for your continual support during these difficult times. Jen and I are doing fine and I'm still on track to make free miniature models for the world to enjoy. I do understand the pandemic is a financial strain on most, so I'll continue to offer access to the Google Drive even to former patrons until November. I know it isn't much but if it helps even a little its something.
The Monster Manual Revisited
This month's project will be heavily focused on revisiting my oldest but also most used models. I'll be going Alphabetically, however, sometimes the "Rule of Cool" comes into play and a surprise might show up here and there. Either way it'll be great to touch up these old fellas. I gotta say, even I can see I came a long way as some of these pieces really really needed an upgrade haha.
Presupported Models
The process to make presupported for resin models is coming a long. I've already covered 600 models last month so hopefully I can get more done in July. I'll go down the Google Drive alphabetically as well. I wanted to make these for FDM, but given almost every printer and slicer is different its not a realistic goal. Resin machines come in all shapes and sizes too, though when it comes to print settings they're generally more uniform.
The Printed and Painted Contest
I'm going to post soon a poll for last months entries. They're all really amazing so don't forget to vote. Winners will get custom minis by me, while all other entries will get stickers by Jen :)
Requests, Commissions and Rewards
I'll continue to stream modeling Commission pieces, Tier Reward modeling, Contest Winner Rewards and eventually Request Board models every Tuesday and Thursday on Twitch . Expect a message from me soon to those who were selected. I'm very excited to see what you all request!
Once again, THANK YOU!
Seriously, the fact that you're supporting an artist is really amazing especially during these difficult times. Thank you all so much. I only wish I could do more. We're all doing our best getting through these times together, and I'm confident we shall walk away from this stronger than ever. Eventually we'll be with our friends again around the table and wowing them with new pieces that seem to just come from thin air. Keep being amazing and expect new pieces from me soon!

While I love all the work you do, i gotta know, how are you pre-supporting files so quickly?
Prusa Slicer has a very good auto support set up and I have the settings tweaked out. However while 90% of the time its good as is, I have to manually inspect the model to ensure all over hangs and tough spots are covered. I know what to look for at this point after doing this for years so I'm pretty efficient with my processes. Once its good to go I can export it as the stl and move onto the next model.
Keep up the good work. Finding your patreon got me back into painting minis which I whole heartedly appreciate.
Thank you friend
