June 2021 - Concept Art Preview
Added 2021-05-23 18:04:11 +0000 UTC
As requested, I'm posting some of the concept art for next month's bundle.
We'll have:
- a sinister wizard (with mounted version on your request too!)
- his creepy sidekick
- some wild men
- lots of walking trees
- a seeing sphere
- wizard's tower perhaps?
Let me know what you think!
P.S. The bundle is not going to be early in June, due to my exams still being in progress 😪
it is so sTREEssing =P, I hope those treemen are fine =)

Hah, no no, it's just a lot of pressure to make them look awesome and proper :D

No sad faces! You're stuff is great and I'm hoping for great tree folks lol. Wasn't intended to be discouraging and sorry if taken that way.

I'll try my best :(

Please make the trees awesome..please please make the trees awesome. So many out there that just don't feel ME to me. Wizard and Creepy look really cool and the tower would be amazing!

Glad you like the two!
As for the trees, they are kinda bulky, that's true. We'll see how they look when sculpted with my style, but I'm with you on this 100%.
And thanks a lot! I'll try to get through them in one piece :D

I like the style of the wizard and his servant, a really fantastic work. The two wandering trees could be a bit more delicate for my taste, somehow the proportions are not quite right for me personally. However, I am aware that the wandering trees are really a big challenge and probably also an extremely personal matter of taste.
I wish you the best of luck with your exams!

All of the suggested sound good. Seeing sphere and creepy sidekick are top on my list, but all of them including prior suggestions I'll be pleased with (especially walking tree with halflings in it).

I'll make split bases for this reason (I also have a small print bed) ;)
Or make the default size smaller with option to size them up!
2021-05-24 15:18:44 +0000 UTC
It's a pity, I can fit a 2.5" base at the most :(

Thank you, that's good to hear. Also looking forward to the seeing sphere :)
2021-05-24 12:21:03 +0000 UTC
Ok awesome. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it.

Oh, that stuff happens usually with the Interactive Modular Mini Customizer, every 3-4 months :) Roughly 60 hands with weapons pre-supported and accessible both as pre-supported STLs and as bits in the customizer :) But sometimes I also make modular stuff (like last month, 5 minis were also modular). This month I didn't follow this route as we are planning a half-orc customizer for July ;) And it seems the wild men will be modular in June!
2021-05-24 09:56:58 +0000 UTC
Good point. Though I wanted to differentiate somewhat, and e.g. make the 4 limbed one have a 3 inch base so it fits, while some others can fit a 2 inch base just right.
2021-05-24 09:55:09 +0000 UTC
Oh nono, if something has an artwork, it gets a model, no worries ;)
2021-05-24 09:53:50 +0000 UTC
I think it would be better if the walking trees didn't have their arms on the ground, because they don't fit on wargame bases.

I like it the way it's presented in the post. No adjustment necessary. Please don't leave the White Wizard out. The concept art is really awesome.

Love the concepts. Just joined last month and enjoying everything so far.
Do you plan on doing presupported modular hands and weapons that can be changed to give the models more variety. I think this would go a long way with customization for armies and even NPCs.
Was just a thought. Again I love your work and will support you regardless ❤️
2021-05-24 02:17:46 +0000 UTC
Of course, that's the only reasonable approach!
2021-05-23 21:27:36 +0000 UTC
Removable if possible.

Hmmm, I like the idea of using the Sutton Hoo helmet for a leader :D
Though for practical reasons, it's probably better to make the horse men more viking, and reserve the saxon look for some summoned dead warriors far in the future releases ;)
I'll need to think this through though, as it's also a reasonable approach to make the wild men use the horse men equipment, just more battered and used up.
2021-05-23 21:14:18 +0000 UTC
We need you artistic touch to differentiate them in some ways 😅. Maybe the wild men with a Viking look and the horse men more like Saxons?
2021-05-23 21:06:30 +0000 UTC
I don't have one though 😁
Hmm, seems I should adjust the theme more towards the wild men then...
But their armored versions would be quite similar to the upcoming horse riding people 😅
2021-05-23 20:50:15 +0000 UTC
Nice subject. I am particularly interested in the wild men and the wizard tower, because they are not so common as model (most of us will already have a white wizard I suppose😉)
2021-05-23 20:45:06 +0000 UTC
Thanks a lot!
Seems that we'll have a modular one then :) The art will probably have 2 axes, but I can make bits for 2h axe, spear, shield and torch. Can't promise more wild men, nor heroes (though the leader is tempting). They will be more on the not-armored side for sure.
Glad you had fun with some wargaming!
2021-05-23 18:54:33 +0000 UTC
Yup! I'll probably fill in the center ;)
2021-05-23 18:47:55 +0000 UTC
Nice arts :). Well, do what you can of course. You are very kind to listen our requests (not all artists do this) so it's not a problem for me if you do less for your exams.
About the requests for wild men:
-Warrior with no armor and 1 handed axe (no shield if possible).
-Warrior with no armor and 2 handed axe.
-Warrior with scale armor equipped with axe and shield.
-Warrior with scale armor equipped with 2 handed axe.
-Their generic hero same option as armored warriors.
-Their named should wear a wolf skin upon the armor wielding a 2 handed axe.
Feel free to do what you want/can, I'm satisfied with whatever yuo'll do.
About scenics well ... the tower would be nice of course.
PS: Today I've made my first game at Middle Earth with my brother thanks to your work. Very nice minis and game.

They look great! Very excited for them! I like the wizard staff. Don't forget to make it thick enough that it doesn't break.
2021-05-23 18:42:05 +0000 UTC
Will consider that for sure!
2021-05-23 18:40:42 +0000 UTC
Maybe two little men sitting in the branches of one of the larger walking trees?
