2019-10-14 13:57:34 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a massive issue on this model with the ever present threat of Zbrush crashes, I've managed to get the variants of this figure done. I'm just exporting them now ready to run fixed and get the folder populated.
There are 4 head variants and 3 weapon variants so hopefully th...
2019-10-07 23:07:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe topic of goblins has come up this month a couple of times in the suggestions for the poll. Its got me thinking - in terms of style, how would you like to see goblins represented?
A few images here to help illustrate the poll:
A quick disclaimer - all of these pictures ar...
2019-10-07 11:41:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I'm planning another competition to run to the end of the year to give away at least one more Mars or Photon printer, but in the meantime I'd like to run a little Print and Paint competition.

I've checked my Patron exit surveys, and quite a few people seem to have jumped ship because they "didn't receive the benefits/rewards promised", or " It was too hard to find or access my benefits/rewards"
I'd just like to clarify where everything is to avoid this i...

2019-09-16 21:30:34 +0000 UTC View PostOK, so its the month after now but the cat familiar is done and will be added to the starter chest. A quick and dirty render as I'm not on my PC but wanted to give you an update.
I did 2 versions - the Fat Cat in a Hat, and the Fat Cat Without his Hat!
I've also recorded ...
2019-09-12 22:03:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Whilst the poll runs its course, I've been busy making a few variations on the Male paladin model. Going forward, I'll give this same treatment to as many of the minis as i can get through in a month. Female Paladin will be the next to get the treatment.

I just wanted to put a note out about the community groups for you to chat to each other, get printing advice, exchange tips, showcase your prints and painted models etc.
We've got the Lion Tower Miniatures Community Group on Facebook:
Hi all, the first of my "proper" tutorial files! I recorded the sculpt of the female battle mage and have isolated the section where I made the breast plate. A lot of it is obscured in the finial miniature but its good practice to do it all anyway.
Apologies up fron...

August is nearly at an end and September looms! The Magi will be retiring to the halls of the Guild for a well deserved rest, and the Warriors of the cloth will be stepping up to the mark to take their place amongst the Guild, bringing light to the heathens and smiting their f...

Apologies its taken a while to get this lot up for you. Home life has been hectic, kids have been ill and I've been knocking down a world war 2 air raid shelter to make way for a new home office/studio (which will be my new work place/printing studio) - but those things were m...

A little more progress on the battle mage. She is mostly complete now but still a few little details to sort out. I've also done 3 of the avian Familiars and over the rest of the month I'll be adding a spell book carrying familiar, a cat and another little dr...

Now that we're at the 75 patron mark, I'll be publishing a tutorial showing how I sculpted the armour for the Battle Mage for this month's extra miniature. The video is recorded but I need to record a talk over for it to explain what's going on. Bear with me a little bit on this as it...

Ok, so its not pretty or elegant, but I recorded about 90% of the sculpting process for the Dwarf "bardzerker". The whole thing is condensed from around 2.5 hours to 11.5 minutes or thereabouts.
The beginning part that is missing is basically me taking a zsphere mannequin (essen...

We're now at 30 Patrons and creeping closer by the day to the 50 mark for the next goal where the regular additions to the starter pack become a commitment.

They are carrying normal weapons, wearing normal armour, have flat boots and no unnecessary cleavage etc on display. My question to all Patrons and would be patrons - Would you prefer to see more of this "Sensible" style ...
