Quick general update
🕑 Added 2019-12-17 15:37:37 +0000 UTCHi again!!! I've had a few messages requesting updates on certain models, so I just wanted to give you all a bit of an update and let you know whats going on, plus a bit of an apology from me too.
With Christmas approaching fast the Kelly household is in disarray! presents piling up in my mancave/studio making access a little difficult at times. A bit of residual DIY stuff finishing off the utility room is also on the go, and then my wonderful wife for her sins is a teacher who is having to do her end of year data input (a somewhat ridiculously massive job!) using my PC as the software she needs isn't compatible with the OS on her Chromebook laptop. All of this stuff is having a knock on effect on my sculpting and admin time, and is essentially reinforcing the fact that I've made the right decision to take it on full time.
In terms of the current months files:
Male Druid - STL files are all generated and need to be processed/fixed in Netfabb prior to upload
Male Monk - I've done an unarmed variant of him and am just about to prepare the STL files, so just one step behind the Male Druid.
Female Monk - Same stage as the Male Druid - all files generated and just needing processing.
Female Druid - I've been making some sculpting tweaks to her as shes a little thin in places and was prone to breakages. The revised version now has an Elven head and Tiefling head too and has an optional thorn whip by request. Once I've finished the last bits and got a test print run off to make sure she works I'll get the files uploaded, but you'll have renders before then anyway.
Female Treasure Hunter - unfortunately for some reason I'm just not feeling this one. Not sure why but the thought of working on this fills me with a real sense of dread! I've deviated from my normal working practice which may have something to do with it as I normally pose first and then sculpt. the last few attempts to pose her have failed because she's too high resolution and my attempts to reduce the resolution have failed resulting in a system crash. I'm determined to finish her but I feel it may be via a resculpt in my usual method rather than a pose alteration. Please bear with me - she'll go up on MMF as a free download for everyone when shes done. I'll put her to one side and focus on the blade dancer for now and revisit with fresh eyes.
Drizzle and the Bear - both currently uploaded and available now.
Target is to get the files that need prepping done this week and uploaded for you all. The female druid should be a fairly quick follow on early next week, and the likelihood is I'll do the blade dance over the Christmas period.
All of the new weapons and heads will also be added to the component library.
There is also a little Chrismas surprise I'm working on which I want out before Christmas for you too, so fingers crossed that one comes off! it'll be fine afterwards but better if it lands on time!
On a final note, there will be no tutorials this month, but once I'm full time I'll be live streaming so will record them and do Q&A and address tutorial requests in them. I'm also planning to build the tutorial library significantly to make this a great resource for trainee/newbie/hobby sculptors.
Thanks again for your support and also your understanding over this busy time of year!
Cheers!
Dan
