Changes to the Poll System
We have been doing this since November and you guys have been amazing enough to support us and keep this Patreon growing!
We are constantly looking to improve our services to you as a thank you for the trust and support you give to us.
That said, we think it’s time to change things a bit with polls.
With the current polling system, after each poll, we have around 30 days to draw 2D concepts, sculpt those in 3D, test print and pre-support them.
This means we do not have the time to go “all out” on some releases and follow some more innovative ideas.
We sometimes have to make more hasty decisions to keep the ball rolling and that comes as an expense to creativity.
In this poll you showed us that following a different path is a choice well received!
That is why we are moving away from theme polls now as you guys and gals know it.
We want to keep asking you for suggestions both on themes and separate units but choosing the theme ourselves will allow us to work ahead of time and follow our creative instinct during the process.
You have already given us some amazing ideas that we have put down and we are already working on. That is why we will keep counting on you for awesome ideas for our miniature sets!
We are positive that this way of going forth will make a great impact on our creativity and on the final result you will be getting!
Changes to the Recurring Villain Reward System
We also wanted to make staying on our Patreon more meaningful to you, this is why we are moving from a bi-monthly loyalty reward scheme to a period of 3 months.
This means that in order to get the Recurring Villain Reward, you will need to stay with us for 3 consecutive months. However, we intend to create way more unique models that will reward you for staying with us!
The next Recurring Villain Reward starts counting on September and will be released to all patrons who stick with us till November! And.. its gonna be BIG!
Demogorgon is staying!
We are pleased to announce that we are keeping Demogorgon as a model for next month too as it was amazingly well received by the community and we want to continue conveying our thanks to all of you for helping us get here!
Again, we cannot thank you enough for supporting us!
Cheers,
The Archvillain Team

*le gasp This is so much more than I was expecting. I can't wait to see the finished sculpts.
WOW.... it's beyond wow...
This will fit into my dnd world and campaign perfectly. So excited.
Love love love!!!
That is one baller polar bear! excited!!!!
I also think it is weird those half-naked on ice. They should be totally naked! By the way, is this Goobertown guy some game designer? Why is he on the project?
He is everywhere right now xD
Wise decision to step away from the polls. Wish all artists would do that and design what they really want to. Also can't wait for the next release. Keep up the fantastic work.
Really?! A shaman summons a bear spirit from a skull? This is why I love your modells over others :D You have story behind your characters. The Yeti... OMG! The A version of the big monster, boss whatever it is :O FANTASTIC!
:O
awesome as always!
Are we going to get another Brent mini? (He has 2 from other patreons but his goal is to have 100)
Holy crap yes!
I was too busy the last release to really focus anymore painting in addition to what was on my agenda. I’ll be be going all out on this next release. Between the concept art and your previous releases, I’m already hooked on these. This brings back memories from one of my favorite MMO game Everquest.
These will be great in my Nord army for Conquest!
I know this will be better than the Titan Forge colab! It must contain a cat in some form!
These look amazing! Super stoked about version B of the monster at the end. Kinda wishing there were dudes riding polar bears. Awesome work!
Next month looks good! I love Circle of Orobos from the Hordes game.
I wouldn't expect this right on the heels of Septembers release, but it would be nice to see a cloud giant and stone giant themed release sometime in the future. I like to print the giants LARGE and none of the other D&D giant models are big enough to my liking. Either way, great work and keep doing the art style that you enjoy creating.
Seconded!
Simultaneously loving the idea of you guys choosing your own theme/following the muse, and HOPING fiercely that your muse leads you to create a Halloween-ish October! :P
Choose the theme yourselves just give us lots of variety so i can have every monster and hero imaginable for D&D. Next months theme looks AMAZING
I just have to ask who does the concept art. I need to borrow them for a couple of months if that’s okay. So many projects that an artist of that caliber could do. On a side not Frost Giants have always been my favorite Giants. Last months Fire Giants have brought those feelings into question. I need you to put the universe back in order by blowing this away. Just Joking, we already know you will.
I really like the look of those yetis.
I am sp bloody excited for this
The Artwork is great! I assume some of those are the Giants? I can't really tell, since their Anatomy is basicly exactly like a Humans. There is nothing that gives me a sense of their scale or let's me think 'Woah, that's a big creature' But maybe that's just me. I'll fix that one way or another :)
Well, level of detail in a 10 cm sculpt vs 32 mm sculpt will definitely show size! Also, bear in mind that concept art is a guide to the sculpts, sculpts always differ in the end :)
I'm really getting stoked for next month's models... Outstanding artwork...
Looks Awesome!
looks awesome!
Just something that always bothers me... Why are they running around half naked in freezing temperatures? Doesn't make any sense....
Probably because ice runs through their vains😛
Why did you start the vote on Facebook instead of here on the platform it is about?
Because we do a lot of Q and A and polls on Facebook :)
