A Little Update and some WIPS
🕑 Added 2024-10-25 13:43:14 +0000 UTCHello dear Adventurers, Merchants and Collectors,
We want to apologize for our limited online presence and for not being able to respond to your messages in the last few days.
This month has been a challenging one for us, and I wanted to share some updates about why things are running a little slower than usual.
Normally by now, you would probably have seen the new trailer for the upcoming set, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we've faced significant delays.
Ani, who many of you know currently takes care of our community, customer support, and also creates the amazing trailers every month, has been struggling with her health.
Ani, who is my partner in life, is dealing with a very aggressive autoimmune condition, and over the last month, it has flared up severely, making it impossible for her to work or even get out of bed.
I'm doing my best to handle everything in the meantime, from concept to sculpting as usual, supporting Ani at home and dealing with all the rest.
It's been a really tough month, sometime we didn't had the time to sleep, but we are pushing through as best we can.
Extremely late, but I currently finished all modular figures of the month, the two heroes, and the epic boss is finally being exported.
Barkwraith Spriggan, modular D and A (Kit I)
The Barkwraith Spriggan
The following month will be about vengeful spirits of the forest of Arba, ancestors of the Alfar, the Spriggan. Similiar to dryads, these creatures born from Arba, Lady of Trees. Since the sacrifice of this goddess in the first Era of Mundus, most spriggan become vengeful spirits, and are much more agressive against those who enter their territory and threaten the forests compared to the Spriggan of the past.
The theme of the month will be about them and other inhabitants of the inner groves of the Forest of Arba. For those who asked, they are not enemies to the Lurikeen and Feythornaax, and share the same enviroment :)
As you might know I deal with the model from the early stage till the finalization, meaning that my concept are very quick and don't need much detail (I just need to put the idea on paper), I hope you will appreciate these sketches.
Extra unit attitude/pose sketches and pinup idea. Those creatures to the left will go on 5cm bases.
Work in progress of the Pinup of the month. I don't often stick too much to the concept but this month I really liked the pose.
We are still sculpting and creating—albeit more slowly than we would like—and I'll be sharing the trailer of the upcoming release soon. We deeply appreciate your patience and support during this challenging time.
Ani wanted me to also let you know how grateful we are for being part of such a wonderful community. If you could spare a moment, please send some positive energy our way—it means more to us than words can express. You can reach us here on discord if you prefer.
Thank you for your incredible support and understanding.

Whenever health comes up, if possible, don't be afraid to take a month or 2 break.

Feel better soon Ani! Never need to appologize for your personal life taking precedence over a job. We'll be here and I dont know if I can speak for others but personally you have given us so much (my favorite 3d patron by far) that if you had to take a break I'd still keep my sub until you were back! <3<3<3

il n y a pas de problème à attendre. Dans une communauté il faut savoir partager les moments de bonheur ( des figurines exceptionnelles) et les moments plus difficiles. Je suis de tout cœur avec vous.

AG has brought a huge amount of joy to me and the people at my game table. I wish yall a speedy recovery. As far as I am concerned take the time you need buddy.
MalkavianLogic
I wish Ani a speedy recovery. Take the time you guys need to balance your personal well being, the release can wait.
Grimbeard
Take care of your loved ones, they are the most valuable thing in your life. We love your art and it is no problem whatsoever to wait a couple of days or skip a release. All the best for you and Ani!
Bill Curran
Best of luck to you with your current health struggles! I’ve got UC as well and know what a burden it can be sometimes! No worries on delayed/smaller releases in the meantime, or if you just need a month off. I’ll keep you all in my prayers!
Bryon Smith
Take your time and take care of your sweetheart.
Tom Ellis
Health and family are the priority, of course! I can only speak for myself but I’ve subscribed to you for quite a while now and you consistently put out quality sculpts that blows me away. If I have to wait a few more days, a week, a month; I’ll be here. You make sure Ani takes the time she needs.
Kevin Walker
Thanks for the update and I hope Ani is feeling better soon.
JD
You have my sympathies and understanding. Take care of family. I think that having the monthly set be late because you took care of family shouldn't cause much stress and / or drama among your patreons.
Martin
Take care of you both. Family first! The sun will rise anyway even if you release it late or next month. The preview looks great tho :)
Janner
Hope you feel better soon!
Josh Ritter
Your work is always amazing and I’ll gladly print and paint them a bit later than normal if they come out late. Your guys health and happiness is more important than some stl files (even if they are beautiful). I’ll be patiently waiting.
Ted Cogley
Family love and important people in are lives are never a problem. They are the greatest thing for you they keep you coming and keep you alive. I wish all the best for you love Ani and pray for her and you alway continue being who you are and when thing happen for new model you design then they will be made with all your heart and soul.
Rick Verriest
Totally understand what Ani is going thru. I also have an autoimmune disease. And I have good days and bad days. And a year ago I was really in bad shape. So I totally get it. Hope Ani gets better soon and I love all your work. Never disappoint and look forward to this next release even if it's a little late
Jim Sørensen
Family goes before anything else. Thanks for the update. I’ll be here even if you need to skip a release. I’m a huge fan of your work, and just hope you and Ani are able to get through this.
Jess Boudrie
I'm sure i speak for many of us when i say that you've always produced quality sculpts in good quantity and have always been reliable. Life can come at you hard. A delayed release, even without a trailer, is better than you both working yourselves sick.
scott schmidt
Bro, life is way more important than a resin sculpt.. always take care of yourself and your partner first. Hope Ani recovers quickly to full health..
Bruce
Your work is worth waiting for and I hope Ani feels better soon.
