February 2020 Trailer - Abyss Demons Set
Hello friends, and welcome to all the newcomer!
We are really happy to show you what we have been working on the last 15 days!
Now it's time for us to start actually transform these "half-gigabyte sculpts" into proper light STL, starting the testprint phase and correct the issue that might happens between a print and the other.
As always, the plan is to finish the sculpting phase before day 20 to have enough time to test and makes adjustments... honestly we didn't think we could finish it in time, those sculpting nights have surely helped!
The Abyss Demons Set will be live day 3 February
With the new year plan of +2 modulars, all-modular heroes and 1 Scatter Terrain the sets are looking really big, we can't wait to see the combinations you'll obtain mixing models and equipments!
Double Pinup month: meet the Lust Demons Vanos & Aya
If we have to make a male pinup, this was really the month to do that! Succubus and their male counterpart are really useful in most tabletop games, so not only we have 2 Pinups in february (lady and guy): both also come in their alternative "hidden form" version,without horns and wings. There's a third version of the female Lust Demon Aya, a topless demon version.
This is really the exception, we are not going to make a male pinup during another month ;)
There's definitely not enough space to show all the variants and the modular options (and weapons), so here a brief summary of the set.

I'll be another voice in support of the male pinups. I have no use for them myself, but it's cool to see the equal opportunity eye candy.
Same, there's not quite enough man meat minis, and I know my players will be elated to finally have a mini for the incubus they summon routinely for comic relief.
It look awesome, as always! Love the double gender pinups! Just in case Creators need some ideas for becoming races, what about dragonborn, gnomes, halflings or catfolks? Also, it would be great if we could have a little more variety in the models "classes". Usually we have a lot of "warriors", but there are little casters or stalkers or non from other classes like clerics, bards or monks for example. I know some of this classes won't fix in all the races, but in the ones it do, would be great if we could have some of them.
We have 2 Troll bards xD
Any chance we may one day see an alternate pose for some of these pinups? Something less dynamic and more standing or striding?
Is there a tier that i can join or a way to buy all the models? I'm not interested in selling them, but i am active in 3 D&D campaigns and i make the mini's for all of them lol. The Artisan's Guild mini's are the best ones i've found! i have purchased a few on myminifactory but it seams easier just to get everything in one shot.
No there is no tier such as this. But if you join the patreon you will get a discount for the myminifactory shop. For most sets it's 20% I think and for the epic bosses it's even 50%. Watch out on Kickstarter campaigns the last one provides a huge amount of miniatures for only 50$ 😉
Please consider skeletons and zombies !
I'd love to see humpy warted witches, twig golems and pig faced men 😍
I would like to something along the lines of "Arcanist" as a theme.
Are you taking suggestions for another theme? I'd love to see a "Street-tough Halflings" set. Would work well with the eberron setting
How about "Warforged" as a theme?
I will say it's a bummer hearing that you guys won't ever be making a male pinup again. I'm all for sexy ladies but it really is cool and refreshing to see male characters getting the same treatment. It would also make for making taverns be a bit more "lively" if you know what I mean.
If ladies get nude versions, I'd love to get male nudes haha! But I guess I am good with Topless. I so need more male pinups for my games of all lady gamers!
as always Love you guys and glad to support!
I'm excited for the portal. Really good addition.
Similar to Tiefling, i need Tiefling good.
Dang, for a moment I was really impressed. We need more male pin ups!
I love the comming Release! I'm glad I voted for demons.
I usually don't like demons, but your work help me to change my opinion ! They are just perfect ! Congratulations ! Just one question : is the terrain with the vortex will come in two parts ? Printing the vortex in transparent resin (green or red !) and the rest of the terrain in grey can be absolutely gorgeous ;-) !
I'm sorry the vortex is not separated. The way it's made doesn't really allow us to put pegs to glue it afterward
Great stuff, love it!
I know this is probably a LOT to ask, bit for the demon pointing and holding the flag, is there a way we can get a variant with just a gnarled staff instead of a flag? He looks very spell caster to me and would love to have him with a staff instead. Thanks for reading this rediculous request.
Pretty sure that's one of the modular minis, which means the hands (and what they're holding) are interchangeable. Which means you could find a suitable staff (from this set, another set, or somewhere else entirely) and swap it out.
I rather like male pinups as they're hardly made compared to female
"Now it's time for us to start actually transform these "half-gigabyte sculpts" into proper light STL..." Much appreciated, one of my other Patreons publishes STLs around that size, and some programs don't much like working with those. ;)
our sculpts are around 5-15 million polys each one (super heavy!) but we optimize the mesh to the maximum to obtain around 180K - 250K polys each.
Ok, and if we get those dwarf ranger, it's definitly time for a male dwarven pinup.
In DnD terms they are tieflings, not demons. Would've loved to see an ape-demon or a fly-demon... but I am not going to complain about a perfect set of tieflings either. Great job!
A lot of them look reasonably similar to the Baatezu demon pictures in my 2E Monsterous Manual, which was before Tieflings were introduced.
Fantastic Job guys
Love your creative vision. Fantastic work as always!
It's unfortunate to hear there is absolutely no possibility of another male pinup.
I'm so completely in love with this set
What machine do you test print on? And, yes, what are you support and resin setting on that machine?
we have a small circle of volunteers including Greg Kourakos and Steven Howland, so we are not officially using any support at Artisan Guild (so me and Francesca will make fixes but not print)
They look great. Any recommendations on orientation and supports for printing?
Another amazing set of sculpts!
Demons arnt even my thing, but these are so cool
Sweet looks great!!.. just a note when looking at the video the armoured female demons head looks a little too tilted to me.. just a note.
I think you guys nailed it. The sculpts and poses are excellent...especially the far right smaller modular demon that's running...he looks half crazed and that's spot on. The portal is super and I like that you're offering a version without the magic swirl because that makes it more versatile as scatter. Awesome job guys...can't wait to get my hands on these! :)
*pather
I'd love to see them do a panther and patjer mount
They already did in the Kickstarter, it was the princess on the panter.
So far, I am extremely impressed with absolutely EVERYTHING that Artisan Guild has come up with. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have a Patron for life!
The mount reminds me of a baby cat learning to pounce. Or someone jokingly going Boo. The abyss guardian with tentacles looks a bit misplaced, like it is sea based or something. Succubus looks good, especially like the pg(ish) version. Portals are cool.
I think the tentacles look OK. The sculpt reminds me of the Draeni from WOW, and they had nothing to do with the sea. In fact, Draeni ARE of demonic origin, so I think the tentacles are totally appropriate. :)
Awesome, wegonna see humans up next?
We just had humans a couple months ago
I really love the portal! But all the others are great too.
Oh wow! That set is awesome. You guys never fail to hit it out of the park.
I wasn’t too keen on demons when they won the poll. But I love what you e done with them. I especially love the jumping demon and the tieflings. Fantastic work as always!
This is absolutely amazing!!! So excited for these. One small tiny favor. Can you give us a man thong demon boy version? You're so close to a full blown male pin-up that's on par with all the awesome female ones you've done. Thanks!
This is amazing! I can't believe the value here!
well hawt dayum... epic work as always! <3 that succubus is amazing, and like the incubus too :D and that portal, omg! love all of it, and really chuffed daemons won :D
Ps. trailer and pic both say january :P (should be feb right?)
Wow, stunning
Well, I’m glad we got a male pin-up this month, and I can barely Wait to paint the demons ^^ as lovely as always
That 2 handed hammer looks really amazing. You guys never disappoint on quality.
An Incubus!! For the ladys
The Portal looks nice
Amazing as usual.
Very much yes.
If the female pinup has a topless version, shouldn't the male have a bottomless version?
I tought you were asking for a male version with bra.
