All 3 are complete!
Auril's second form has made it's way into the collection with 54mm and 32mm files ready to go. That finishes off all of her forms and the 250 reward! I'll go through the ideas for the 325 reward and get a new vote going for that in a few days, if you have anything epic you would like to see be sure to let me know!
Enjoy!

Alright I think we are just about ready for a final clean up, polish then she's off to be posed. I need to blend all the ice spikes into the collar and the dress/cloak thing and she needs a proper pass on her hair but we are very close to having the full set ready!
She should look pretty cool all in ice, hopefully as good as her third form does! That print is from Zach over at 2020-10-29 04:58:56 +0000 UTC View Post
I've got the initial proportions blocked out so far and have it all meshed together now so I can continue to refine the shapes. The lower body might need to be slimmed down a bit more but I'll look up some real world lanky cats for reference.
As for her overall look, is the Egyptian direction where we want to take it? A lot of the art leans that way and I guess it makes sense seeing as it...

Done a bunch of 'sketching' for Auril's second form today. It's a point where I'm pretty happy with the direction and can move onto a bit more refinement (all the spikes are just slapped in)
One thing that has come up is the horns... personally I like them and the way it ties back into the previous form but just having the mask also has a cool look to it. Ultimately I think the solu...

I don't think we have had a closer vote than that, the top 4 stayed pretty close the whole way through but the Lamia came out on top.
There is a far bit of art around for this creature but they mostly go one of two ways, either a more slender lower half where the joint of the hips to neck dictates the overall proportions or a version that's more true to real world scale with a much larger...

So there is a LOT of new people around lately!
I did not expect to hit this goal so soon, only a month ago we were 100 less with the Auril reward in our sights. I'll get the 2nd form out of the way before moving to this but I'll start collecting ideas for the vote (I've also just tweaked Auril's 3rd form to allow trapped resin to escape by increasing the size of the snowflake)

I know it's a bit of a random drop but I had an idea for this one and it came together pretty quick so I just ran with it. I wanted to carry the owl theme through all the forms and having this one just be a normal looking chunk of floaty ice seemed like a waste, it needed some kind of indication it's special.
Thanks to some clever ideas in discord there is a special feature for anyone usi...

I said I would get it done asap!
The Draegloth has joined the collection with 32mm and 54mm versions ready to go. This release actually marks design number 50, which is kinda unbelievable, I never expected things to go this far and it's all thanks to you lot!
Plenty more to come yet, here's to the next 50!

Finally back onto this beast and making good progress!
I've spent a bit of time tweaking the proportions across the whole body and its made big difference overall. The legs and waist have had a good bump up in overall size and filled out, both sets of hands have been shortened with the fingers slightly bulked up, he has proper canine feet now, the secondary arms are meshed in and the gene...

She's here!
Auril's Crone form has been added to the collection in 32mm and 54mm scales.
I decided to push through and just focus on getting this sculpt done before continuing on with the others, the schedule is pretty tight but you all deserve to get at least part of the 250 goal reward now. I'll get back onto the Draegloth and make a start her next forms shortly.
I hope I do...

This is the first pass at the blocking in the basic shapes, still plenty of tweaking to do but I think it's in the right area and just needs to be refined. The hands and feet are just slapped in for now, more of a size reference than anything but they will change. His legs might need to be bigger and maybe lengthen the neck and pull the head up and out as well, I'll just have to keep playing ar...

The Draegloth won this round!
I thought there would be more art around for this guy, it's a cool concept but luckily the official design is pretty nice already. I do really like how the bottom 2 have a more vicious animalistic feel to them.
I'll make a start on the design over the weekend (it's Friday night here right now) I'm juggling a few sculpts at the moment and I'd reall...

Got a few update pics for where I'm at with Auril. Trying a different approach with the feathers/fur to give a softer more downy look, it's still in progress and will probably need a bit more exaggeration and separation between the softer inner areas and the larger stuff but I'm liking the look so far. We've had some interesting ideas about posing over in the discord with some weirdo owl inspir...

Had a special request for a bust version of the Succubus, it seemed very suited to one so here it is! You can find her added to the collection in the Busts folder.
Now to get back to Auril,

She's done! Added to the collection in 54mm and 32mm scales.
Can I just say making a pretty girl is way harder than an evil monster thing, you wouldn't believe how the smallest of tweaks can ruin a face.... anyway I'm very happy with how she ended up. I think it's walked the line of that seductive look without being a naked chick just for the sake of being naked.
Enjoy!
We have some very underdark themed options this round with a bunch of cool requests that could make a nice addition to the collection alongside the Mind Flayer!
I'm halfway through the Succubus posing and should have her finished off pretty quick, once she's done I'll use the time until the vote ...

I know, I know.... I'm at it again with the tweaks but the legs weren't right and it was annoying me. The face has had a bunch more work as well along with some more minor proportion changes all over. In saying that the wings and tail are fully meshed in now and I've started laying out the hair so she's pretty much ready for a pose and some final detail work!
I'll get a new vote running i...

Alright! After all the feedback from the last post we got a solid direction to go in and I'm happy with the changes. The goat legs are looking much better with some more effort put in and the proportions tweaked, same with the wing size. I need to mesh the wings in properly and do the usual push/pull here and there to tweak some shapes, then it's onto some more detail work. The draped cloth wil...

Got a few different options we need to decide on before going any further. Originally I really liked the idea of goat legs but now that I see it I'm not so keen...
Wing position is the bigger one, it has far more impact on the overall look. I'm torn on this one as well, I like the traditional placement from the front but the lower placement from the back.
The tail is 50/50, ki...

Just a quick one to show where I'm at after a playing around for a while. I need to try out the goat legs and see how it feels but the wings will be the next major thing to put in place and that should help with working out the overall proportions. I'll keep pushing things around and get another update out once I'm a bit further along.

The succubus won the all female round but it was a pretty close race there for a few days!
As usual I've got my own ideas on where to take the design to try and move away from the standard approach. A few of the general things I'd like to do are pretty inline with the upper right image ~ I really like the goat legs, tail and small wings. Looking around for references I found the maj...

The pose is pretty much in the final stages now, next on the list is all the final details and corrective sculpting to get him print ready. A bunch of the cloth will need thickening and he's still missing his legs or whatever goes there but I'm pretty damn happy with where it's at.
Not long now!
