January Models UPDATE!
I've had a lot of people ask about why I chose to replace the models for January, so I wanted to be as tranparent as I can. I don't pass off AI models as something I would send to my patreon members. Period! I don't support AI taking over artists hard work, nor will I offer anyone one, much less two. The two models at question were either made or rendered in AI. It's very apparent after looking at the actual model themselves, then looking at the renders. You can see in the pics where Hawkeye has only 3 fingers, ot the fact the base in the render versus the actual base are different. Notice the robot laying down, the trim on the base, the rubble he's standing on, etc. All different. Or look at the base for Hobgoblin render versus the actual model. No textures, sloppy and not sharp; just awful.
Now the reason I'm bringing this to light is because the artist is offering them free on his patreon now, and I do not want anyone to affiliate me with them. These are not the models you'll get this month. Also, I promise you that you will get a real model, from a real artist, and not some AI garbage.
So thank you all for reading this long post, and I deeply apologize once again for the mishap. As they say, lesson learned. I will have updates on the new models very soon and I'm sure you will see the difference in quality and integrity.

Where can I find a general chat and/or discord? I’d love to bounce ideas off like minded people. Questions and painting tricks. I’m painting the Val Kilmer doc holiday and have no idea how to attack the thin pin stripes on his slacks. Besides lots of coffee and a steady steady hand.
This is one of my favorite patreon. I would rather have quality any day over trash & thanks for being one of the good guys with integrity. So hard find these days because greed drives most anymore, they just want make a buck. Far as me, idc take your time thank you for all great models. One of my favorite patrons.
Glad I just joined.
Just saw the Patreon that offers these sculptures, free if you join and I see the renders look convincing but if you’re not convinced, then I’m not and will just mean disappointment when printed. Thanks for maintaining your integrity over filling our HD with garbage to make a buck. I’ll gladly wait for quality over expediency.
Henry, I just saw these crap renders posted on another patreon. Sheesh! Thanks for saving us from this AI slop!
And I just got an email l from black owl customs patreon that I was a free member of. They are offering those models free when you upgrade to a paid Patreon sub. SMH
Man… there is tons of crapolla out there and it’s crazy…. I am glad that you are holding the line on models and quality. I’d rather wait to get a top notch quality model then get served a crap model right away. Much appreciation for what you do Henry…. Best Patreon by far!!!
Thank you Henry, appreciate the honesty and looking out for your Patreon members. 👍
Keep it real Henry, you always have my friend, 👍👍
