Samurai

By popular demand, I read something about things like kamishimo, tabi and tō, and here's my version of supportless samurai. Grab both in the repository, one is also 2020-02-09 19:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Scorpio warriors

Androctonus crassicauda, or the Arabian fat-tailed scorpion, is dangerous even when it's a few centimeters long, so you can imagine how fearsome it can be when it's the size of an ATV. Only the bravest (or the craziest) warrios of the Scorpio clan can use it as a mount.

Harpies

Here come the ladies. Long slim necks, abundant bosom and some attitude. Might be NSFW in some conservative areas. Loosely based on a sculpture on a 19th century tenement house. Grab them (before they grab you and tear ...

Ghouls

Here's a pair of ghouls, to keep you company during those picturesque strolls on a cemetary or an old battlefield. They used to be telemarketers, but had higher aspirations.
As usual, both are in the rep...

Elven Archers

Finally, some non-humans. Those long-eared, tall, beautiful creatures. Some people say they are divine and don't have rectums (I'm sorry the models are not detailed enough to verify that information). You can find both in 2020-01-09 00:23:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Moving East

So, since I'm getting more and more signals that it would be good to see more ethnic diversity and include models related to Asia, I will be looking into that direction as well. One step at a time - first let's visit the Middle East. Two saracen warriors in 2019-12-31 15:42:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Something for the battlefield and for townsfolk. A standard bearer and a merchant.

Kids

You have to be careful with your kids. If you don't pay enough attention they might end up on the street, if you're too protective, they might start wearing weird clothes and casting spells.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

Skeleton archers

I have to admit that I never liked the idea of skeletons using bows. How do they hit anything without eyeballs? Yeah, yeah, I know, evil magic. But if you've ever tried to nock an arrow then it'll make you wonder how those skellies manage to do it with their bony fingers.

Anyway, here is a ...

Support-free horse.

When I began making minis for 3d printing, I had two things in mind - that the minis are table-ready when taken off the printer bed and that no extra filament is wasted. I never liked supports and all the extra hassle with removing it.  Well, the supportless models always need some basic cle...

More Dwarves
