[April Release] Lorcor [LOR] Lord Class VoidFrame

Edit: Both raw and supported Files for the Lorcor and the BiggerStetson should be live on PWG now.
No preplates on this one yet, and I'm still figuring out how I want to do them with there being so much variance in the kits.
(And I won't be getting to them for a little bit as I'm taking a little jaunt up to Texas with some family for the eclipse)
The Vacarsield Turret is now also in the Vacarsield kit, so if you have that and want the little turret guy, he's there now~

Lil Gap Month bonus guy~

So I wanted to get a quick image set of the march bonus stuff for the people who were/are subbed for the March gap month~

I'm also gonna try to get that lil' skull head from the concept art to if I can manage it~

For the folks that were subbed for MARCH to the VoidCrafted/VC and Re-run tier, I'll have this one ready for you as thanks for subbing through the Gap month~
This will be a mostly pre-posed kit so you don't have to futz with getting it to lo...

April Work in Progrss 2

Just a quick turntable with the WIP Red Lorcor Protag added xD

April Work in Progrss 1

Wanted to get up some WIP pics to start of the Alt pieces based around that concept art from before~ I've got a few more pieces to make off of that (shoulder pauldrons/feet/try that head) but then I can get into the weapons/gubbins/bits~
Everything can be swapped/mixed around so there's gonna be so many ways to build one x'D

PWG Hotfix

A fix was implemented last night on PWG that looks to be stable, and it should take care of the issues from February that folks were having. It should be pulling pledge info now, and If you hit the "Check for new items" on your downloads tab it should pull things in. If You are still having issues with after the patch implementation please pop on over to the PWG discord so they can give you a hand~

[March]: FishMech ReRuns: Melee Set & Hindsight

Next up on the ReRun Docket is the Melee Set and accompanying Hindsight Frame~ This one just has a ton of options for various melee themed weapons and such~ I just had a lot of fun with this one. The buildguide is important for this one~

Fully poseable, and for the most part, interchangeable parts wise~ Over the years these kits have been out I've seen some phenomenal kitbashes, and I always enjoy seeing more~
FlightStands are not included, and I recommend using a 1/8" acrylic rod o...

This is JUST the base frame.

Multi Month releases and you~

I wanted to make this its own post so it doesn't get too lost, and to temper expectations~

I've been thinking of a way to make releases that take more then 2 months to model out that don't "Feels Bad" for patrons/new patrons, and I've been idea bouncing with the discord for a little bit. So for this kit (and most likely future kits that take more then 1 month to complete) I'm going to structure the release like this:

March/April Work in Progrss 3

Last bit of WIPs and test prints, for this month before I do a few renders of the final Base frame/s and such

March/April Work in Progress 2

Wanted to make a quick update image set on the Lord base (the first three images are the current). I'm gonna be getting into the standard legs and head next. I've got most of this test printed for fitment/assembly/IRL posability/etc~ And so far it's on par with any previous FishMech frame koi or larger in those terms~

Progress is good~ And I *really* like this so far.

~Pipes

March/April Work in Progress 1

This set's gonna be a whole thing. Like the Narwhal/Orca kits from the Fishmech line, I'm gonna be breaking this one into a two month set. First month's going to be the actual frame, and the second month is going to be *everything else* for it. Weapons/alt pieces/armor/etc. (The second month will also have the turret set for the Vacarsield finally as this kit requires me to make all the main line weapons~)

Now the intent behind this kit is to do something like the Commander Frame from ...

[February]: FishMech ReRuns: Commander Frame

(Edit: Files for the Commander Re-Run should be available on PWG now. As always the "Check for new downloads" button in your downloads tab should pull things in if they aren't showing up yet~

Next up on the ReRun Dockett is the Commander frame. One of the more...conceptual models where I wanted to see how much I could magnetize on it xD

[February Release] Skorcian [SKOR] Class VoidFrame

(Edit: Pre-supported files are now up on PWG~

~Pipes)


This set very rapidly grew out of the initial scope x'D It was however, a lot of fun to model and I've been looking forward to this one since Kabewski sketched up the initial concepts for it~
This should add a bunch of melee themed bits to add to existing VoidFrames, as well as being a fairly large standalone kit too~ I also tried some more wispy energy stuff for supporting the tippy leg poses, I figur...

February Work in Progress 3

(Just wanted to sneak a base example in here for the tippy legged poses)

Last set of WIPs before I get all the final renders together and fix things to bases~
There are gonna be...a lot of bits in this one x'D

Lil' MonkeyFish update

For anyone that has the MonkeyFish kit on PWG. I've added a handful of MonkeyTaur pieces (Mainly just the torso piece that's important to it) The build guide was tweaked a bit also, but it's really straight forward. This is mostly just a little thing I threw together a few days ago~
THIS UPDATE DOES NOT INCLUDE Corydora pieces or Koi pieces.
(This set will offi...

February Work in Progress 2

Just wanted to get another work in progress image set of the Skorcian frame~ I've got most of the base done, and am gonna be moving onto all the weapons after I wrap up a variant or 2 for the head~

Really liking how everything's progressing, and I think this was some of the most fun I've had working on a head yet xD
(The heads in the .gif were prior to me modeling the actual head)

These guys are gonna be a ton of fun to pose I think~
~Pipes

February Work in Progress 1

New Year, new month, new work in progress pics for the next kit~

I wanted to get a quick photo set up of th current WIP, I've started working through the Skorcian class VoidFrame, and this is another one that from just the concept art I've been pretty excited about in the background~ Puttering through the frame now at a pretty good pace, so I'm hoping I can include a bunch of different melee themed pieces for it at the end of things~ (they'll be usable on the previous frames of course~...

[January]: FishMech ReRuns: Guppy Kits

Drones pack is up on PWG~ AS ALWAYS please hit the "Check for new Downloads" button in your downloads tab~ It might take a bit for the filesets to populate the website though as I've just uploaded them.

(Edit:01.07.24)
Supported files for the Aracort are up on PWG~

As always the "Check for new downloads" button is your friend, but give it a bit if things are a bit slow as it's almost a gig of compressed files xD and I just uploaded them~

January Work in Progress 2

Just getting another WIP set up of the Aracort frame. The base frame is basically done at this point, and I'm gonna be workin' on the weapons and optional bits next~ Not sure how many alt weapon bits I'm gonna work in, but there should be at least one or two heavy (with a smaller compact version for the squad leader), a melee option or two, and probably the pistol in the sketch.
I'm loving how this one's going and I can already see me using the bits/themes for other things down the line 2023-12-22 03:42:41 +0000 UTC View Post

January Work in Progress 1

Heyyo! Just getting a work in progress post up for January's Aracort Fileset~

Aracort [ARA] Portal class VoidFrame
(Arachnea/Portal/And an excuse to make it's short hand "[ARA]" xD )

We went back to the digitigrade for this one, and I'm really likin' it x'D
So standard units will have two arms (with possibly supplementary limbs for the main gun (Probably out of the PortalPack), while the Leader will have four. I don't want to give it the same loadout as the analogue, which...

Quick update:

Two things~
Nulphos files are on the printer and supported files should be up sometime tomorrow~

Second Thing:
For anyone that was having issues with PWG not showing OCT/NOV/DEC's filesets in your downloads library that haven't reached out to me in DM: Patreon has a habit of breaking my Refresh token API Key. This is what PWG uses to pull tier info and the like to then populate the downloads tab with your filesets. When it's broken, it doesn't do this. I've gone ...

Project Morningstar:

I've been waiting for this one for a minute~ Had a lil' NDA so I was pretty quite about it, but a bunch of my work made it into this as the basis for some of the Shigue Diaspora. You might recognize a few things in this~

I'm very excited, and stupidly proud to see some of my stuff in motion like this and the whole things a little bit surreal to me.

December Work in Progress 1

Wanted to get some pics of the Nulphos Construct up cause I've made  some pretty good progress through it now~ This set will cover the base Vacarsield skimmer as well as the Luminora variants. (With more variants being worked on for other releases, I just want to cover what I realistically have time for xD )
Front cowls are magnetizable, and the dual weapon systems are magnetizable (2x2mm). I have plans for a Luminora variant of at least one or two for the Luminora with that crossing ...

[November]: FishMech ReRuns: ArcherFish Kit

Edit(11/04/23): SubPack for the ArcherFish rerun is now up on PWG.  It might take a sec for them to show in your downloads library, and as this is an older release will be towards the back of your downloads, so be sure to check there as well~
