Re-opening in July + Preview

About those big changes...

I wanted to make some big changes to my Patreon tiers, but I have to admit to not being able to figure it out. If it wasn't some technical issue courtesy of Patreon (like not being able to have multiple rewards of the same monetary value without allowing people switch between them for free and grabbing all the rewards), there were issues of fairness (won't go into that), or just making a total mess with too many options.

So screw it, let's just keep on...

Suspending payments for June (last time; promise!)

All right, let’s do this one last time. Most of you know the drill, but the short version is:

• If you have paid this month, you won’t be charged on June 1.
• If you paid last month, or the month before that, and haven’t cancelled your pledge since then, you won’t be charged on June 1.

I thought I would be able to re-open my Patreon in June, but I need a few more days sorting the details out since the changes I am making to my Patreon are big, and you guys...

Suspending billing for May, too.

Short version: Existing patrons with an active pledge won't be billed on May 1st.

Longer version: I have decided to suspend billing for May, too, since I'm not quite ready to get back to producing things regularly. While things haven't been quite as bad as I had feared work-wise, the added stress surrounding literally everything I do once I step outside the door has taken a toll on my creativity, which I'm working on overcoming day by day as this situat...

RELEASE: Old King Thor bust (2 variants)

This download is available for the Supporter and Kingpin patron tiers, who can find Onedrive download links by click here. 

So here we go: Marvel's old King Thor. You can probably also pass him off as a Odin since he's got, y'know, one eye and all. I've been debating with myself whether or not to release this one because no matter what I do I can't get him to that point ...

Downloads: Temporarily back to Dropbox.

Quick update: The Wordpress plugin I use to let users login with Patreon has somehow overlooked someone pausing billing, so anyone who paid last month, but wasn't billed again this month, is now looked upon as an inactive patron, and can't log in to the Patron Zone.

Anyone who is a new user this month can however login and use the Patron Zone as normal.

This has forced me to bring back Dropbox temporarily until the developer of the plugin fixes this little oversight (thou...

IMPORTANT UPDATE. Please read carefully.

(Clickbait title: MY PATREON IS NOW FREE (NOT REALLY, BUT YES IT IS, KIND OF, BUT NOT? IT'S COMPLICATED, BUT NOT REALLY.)

First of all, I hope everyone is doing well, and follow your governments' recommendations and self isolate if you are feeling sick. I know some of you have lost your jobs, and some have even lost loved ones, and you have my sympathies and condolences, for as much that is worth. Everyone try to stay safe out there, and keep informed.

Some of you know my day jo...

RELEASE: Alien Bounty Hunter Bust

Supporter tier and above patrons can download this release via THE PATRON ZONE. 

Coming in at the tail end of February is this pretty guy. An alien bounty hunter type of... person? There's a bit more micro details in this one than I usually put in, so it might be fun for the resin guys and gals out there to try it out? The inspiration for this one is in part from Mass Effect, as I've been thinking...

What's cookin', good lookin' (SNEAK PEEK)

Hello there, my dear patroneers! A little update on what I'm currently working on amidst all this Holiday craziness that is currently surrounding most of us. When I say "currently working on" I mean "these are the three things among the ten or so sculpts I am actually working on that I feel most confident to show at the moment". So let's move on to these three beauties:

Firstmost (is that a word?) we have Babu Frik, whom I started working on in my head right after I ha...

RELEASE: Rogue Bust

I was convinced I would be able to release her sooner than this, but I kept doing some changes here, and some changes there, and I remade h...

PREVIEW: Rogue Bust

COMING SOON

So up next is Marvel's Rogue, which will complement the previously released Gambit bust from last month. I'm nearing the end stages, but I still need to finish up her hair band, give her hands with gloves, and come up with a base! Also her face doesn't seem right, so a bit more tweaking there, too... 🤔

She's on her way, though. Stay tuned!

PREVIEW: The Mandalorian Bust

Hello, hope everyone has had a good weekend! I've been toiling away at this here Mandalorian guy, and I'm finally at a point with him where I am starting to become satisfied, and I'm starting on the base, and thinking about the engineering (how to best cut it up and orient it for printing -- I want to avoid supports, but with this one that might prove challenging).

One of the issues has been which pieces of armour to give Mando, since all the information we have points towards him upgra...

Thank You

This is around the time of the month when someone like me, who runs a Patreon, sends out a message to his/her patrons with enticing and alluring previews of what is coming in an attempt to keep you from canceling that monthly pledge, and it is something I have done in the past, but I'm not going to do that, not this time (except for maybe a little, tiny, teaser in the end, we'll see...)

Instead I want to give you all a big thank you. Regardless of your reasons for suppo...
