Middle of the Month Update for September
Added 2018-09-15 17:20:52 +0000 UTCHey Everyone!
I hope September is treating everyone well! We're half way through the month and I figured I'd put together a little update of what I'm workin' on and where things are at.
Xanathar Goal Reward Released
This guy is out and available through the DMs Guild here. Because he's a beholder and a specific WotC character I can only make him available through the DMG, however it's "Pay What You Want" so still available for free :D
Ruined Arch Goal Reward
We just hit the Goal Reward for this Ruined Arch prop and it's been released here. Next up is this giant pair of mushrooms,
I've gotta finish up the back view, do some alternate colors for Patrons (planning on a "creepy forest" and "glowing Underdark" version in addition to this base red), and run a set of test prints, should be ready to go once we hit the next goal reward.
Waterdeep: City Watch
I got my hands on Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and was inspired to create some City Watch minis. They're still in the works and I have a few more I'd like to do,
I plan to release the Waterdeep City Watch versions on the DM's Guild and then have a bunch of off-brand color options available through Patreon like normal. A few WIP color variations below,
Speaking of Waterdeep...
I'm loving the new adventure and couldn't help but do some quick scribbles for potential minis tailored to the initial quest line. I'm looking forward to eventually DMing this adventure and would love to have all of the specific minis for it. Just one more plate to keep spinning XD
Sea Reavers
Been plugging away at these Sea Reavers. Back views are drawn/shaded and just need to color them, then I'll finalize the color options, and run a round of test prints.
After that I'd like to do some alternate Pirate-y themed reskins for Tier 2+ Patrons,
I haven't sunk much time into figuring out what elements will make up the outfits/weapons, but I'm imagining lots of tattoos, bandannas, and weapons strapped everywhere.
Elf Ranger
Did a round of test prints on the Elf Ranger and decided to add a bit more armor to her torso as the bikini thing was just too weird - hazard of reworking a design from years ago is I sometimes stick too closely to whatever random bad idea I had way back when.
The Tier 2+ reskins for the Elf Ranger will be a ranged assassin type. Back views are done and I'm just playing around with color options.
Seasonal Content
I'd like to get in the habit doing some Seasonal minis starting with this Halloween and I want to get the community involved with suggestions and then voting on what the mini(s) will be created for this year's Halloween. I still need to get the process nailed down, but watch for an official suggestion post and more information kicking off Monday.
In Other News
I failed to prep any shoutout/news for this update (sorry!), but I'll make sure to have some stuff lined up for the end of the month summary as I know that was a popular feature.
Cheers and thanks everyone!

2018-09-19 18:03:01 +0000 UTCIs dpi the pixels per inch?
2018-09-19 17:21:52 +0000 UTCHey Artur, if you're getting mixed scaling when pulling the PNGs into Photoshop it's likely caused by the PNGs being set at different DPI. Older PNGs were saved out at 600dpi while newer PNGs were saved out at 300dpi. You can check this when you check the Image Size of the individual PNGs and just reduce the 600dpi ones by 50%.

2018-09-18 16:11:26 +0000 UTCHey can someone help me? What should be the size on the photoshop file so the PNGs stay the correct size??

2018-09-18 11:38:55 +0000 UTCHoliday minis would be totally awesome! Like pumpkin golems or scarecrow warriors or even the legendary headless horseman for a halloween appearance?!

2018-09-17 01:13:57 +0000 UTCSo excited for the City Watch release!

2018-09-16 17:58:59 +0000 UTCYES! In the making of a campaign adventure at sea and pirates and sea reavers are just the thing I am missing. Just hope now these babies will hit the page at the end of this month. Gonna take some pictures of the other minis and ships in action and show ya'll later :)

2018-09-16 13:39:41 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love your work. When my wife and I found out you had the silouette files available we didn't hesitate to become a tier 4. We've been toying with the idea of miniatures with our d&d group, but didn't want to spend the money to get a good amount of to start with. When we found about paper minatures, and realized we could use the silouette my wife uses for her work here at home, we couldnt wait to start making them. We're trying them out for the first time next weekend!
2018-09-16 00:53:28 +0000 UTCWell, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a full array of miniatures for a WotC adventure, so that anyone can have at least the basic stuff to play it. You almost have every elemental for Princess of the Apocalypse, and some of the biggest demons for Out of the Abyss. Man, now that I think, there is a ton of miniatures to be made! Haha, good days await us ahead Marshall!!

2018-09-15 21:46:24 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah, I'm really excited to start getting to flex my workload a bit more, looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve. So stoked for Dragon Heist, gonna have a hard time not just doing minis for it all the time lol
PrintableHeroes
2018-09-15 21:34:28 +0000 UTCThank you! I tend to work on a lot of things in parallel so I'm finding it's a natural fit for updates every two weeks or so. Yeah, I should be able to include a mask-less version.
PrintableHeroes
2018-09-15 21:29:10 +0000 UTCThanks! Yeah, I'm really enjoying how they are turning out. Should be a fun set.
PrintableHeroes
2018-09-15 21:27:57 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah, I'm already finding it's helping me define and focus a bit. Plus it's fun sharing my in process thoughts.
PrintableHeroes
2018-09-15 21:27:32 +0000 UTCThanks! It's a learning process XD

2018-09-15 21:25:27 +0000 UTCMy GF is going to love that elf ranger assassin once it's released, she is by and large the textbook definition of a murder hobo. Also part of me feels like PrintableHeroes is reading my mind, i was just thinking of having a high seas adventure for my players after they finish ToA and lo and behold i see sea raiders being produced.

2018-09-15 21:22:16 +0000 UTCAwesome update man!! Such a great time to be your patreon! I really love the updated armor for the elf ranger, and the pirate reskin of the sea reaver was the perfect idea! I'm eager to see what comes next, especially those new characters for Waterdeep Dragon Heist.
Ariel Sosa Visconti
2018-09-15 19:25:15 +0000 UTCI am thrilled with how much content you're packing into this update! You've got a ton of sensational designs in the works! And thank you for adding some additional armor to the elf ranger. Do you think we can get this resin with and without the face mask?

2018-09-15 19:03:54 +0000 UTClove the update. your work looks amazing. all the variants on the sea reaver are absolutely the bomb.

2018-09-15 18:01:45 +0000 UTCOooh, I like these update posts! It's fun to see it all laid out like this, and get your thoughts on what's coming next :D Also: thank you thank you thank you for the stomach armor!
