Personal ZBrush Lessons
Hi everyone!I had a few people asking about 1-1 lessons for ZBrush.I do offer these! It is $15 for 30 - 45 minutes. Usually my lessons are about 30 minutes of material, and then 15 minutes for questions. Payment is accepted via PayPal.These lessons would done using Twitch or Skype. Twitch has better screen resolution, but there is a few seconds of delay between what I'm doing and what you'd see/hear.I don't do 1 hour lessons because when you are learning something new, an entire hour...

Personal update!
Hi everyone!Thanks for being so lovely and interactive. I appreciate your comments and participation in the polls so much!I JUST moved into a new apartment last night! I went from living with 5 college roommates to moving in with my boyfriend of 4+ years. So I'm pretty darn happy.Moving has taken up a lot of my time so I apologize for not being as present the past few days. I also haven't released as many models as I'd like.Monthly minis will be shipped within the week as well. Norma...

Tabaxi Progress
This is how I blocked out the head in 10 minutes. Work smart not hard!The mid cat man thing is quite disturbing.I don't know what I'm going to do with the ears haha Probably cover them with a pirate hat. Every time I make the ears look like an actual cat it makes him look like a cute kitten.

New Model! Half Elf Bard
AcknowledgementsThank you to Alex Varley for this request!Thank you to Jason Hatter for recommending a harp! I ended up with a lyre, and I think it accomplished a similar vibe.Thank you to Jonathan N. for recommending a slightly thicker base. This is my first time using it and I like it!You guys seriously help make my work become what it is. I'm so grateful, and I adore this community.
How to Sculpt Hair (Artist Shout Out!)
So you will probably notice that the hair for this sculpt looks WAY different than my usual. Way better at that. So you may be wondering... What changed?Danny Mac's Hair Tutorialhttps://gumroad.com/dannymacDanny Mac is incredible. I used his hair package tutorial. I watched the videos, downloaded the brush, and here is my first attempt with it. It is $12 well spent!Essentially it is a mesh brush comprised of different fibers you can move around. Quite delightful.
New Model Organization Plan (and half elf bard WIP)
Hi everyone!I will be putting all new models released this month into a new folder on DropBox labeled "NEW". This folder will always contain that month's new models and nothing else.That way you don't have to dig for each new release. The first model (half elf bard) should be released tonight or tomorrow! She still needs to be posed. A Patron recommended a harp which I thought was an awesome idea! I ended up going with a lyre, so same vibe more or less!Thanks again to the two nic...

Fantasy only. You may send pictures to give the idea of what you would like. In fact, I encourage it! It will not be a replica h...
New Model Goals!
I decided to change my goals to something we can all get excited about...MORE MODELS! Currently I release 10 models a month. It could be more, but I need to pay the bills. So I accept a lot of exclusive rights commissions that I can't share unfortunately. My goal is to stop doing those so I can just share stuff with the community!Feel free to share this. Each person that chips in $1 gets me that much closer to having the financial stability to create more content!We are at 89% for the first ...
Undead Wyvern Pose 1 Finished!
Thanks for all of your suggestions! I did my best to include everyone's input. :D Pretty thrilled with the result! I will be printing this soon. The dead pose is coming soon!
Undead Wyvern Head REDESIGN! (Pose suggestions?)
SO much happier with this head! THANK YOU guys so much for your encouragement. I was feeling really unsatisfied with this, and I'm starting to love it now. I plan to tweak the horns a bit still.I'm ready to start posing! :) I'd like to keep the sweeping wings for the attack position, but perhaps perch the dragon on the edge of a castle wall? What do you think?
Whoops! Made a wyvern instead of a dragon.
Which do you want? Figured I'd asked since I went ahead and made both. Neither has been posed or detailed yet.Option A: WyvernOption 2 : Dragon
Half Elf Female Bard WIP
Just started blocking out the design for this one!I proportioned her like a human to try and convey half elf instead of full elf. Let me know if there is anything else I should be considering!
Undead Dragon Head WIP
Having a lot of fun with this one!Livestream is in the process of being exported to YouTube.
Undead Dragon WIP - Livestream Video
LIVESTREAM uploaded to YouTube.Here is the general idea! Pretty much no detail right now.What's to come Tattered wings More bones showing Flesh gaps Still needs to be posed Better bone definition Planning for the tail to be pretty much just bone

Model Update and Livestream Info
Models without bases folder added to DropboxI haven't made the previous bases thicker, but going forward they will be 4mm thick. I will be livestreaming the entire undead dragon sculpt on TwitchAll livestreams will be uploaded to YouTube to be watched whenever if you don't catch me live. I recommend following me on Twitch if you want to watch the sculpt live!TwitchYouTube
Undead Dragon Pose
I'm beginning the undead dragon :D The original idea was by Douglas Rector. His idea is an undead dragon laying there that seems dead. But isn't actually dead, so poor PCs may go into loot an then get eaten.So I think it would be cool to have a "dead" pose, and an attack pose. (Really the only downside of doing both poses is that it will take me longer to get to other requests.)
Poll Results - Bases
I will be adding a base and non-base option for all of my models. It will be finished and uploaded to DropBox by next week. I also plan to make the base a millimeter or 2 thicker. Thanks for your input!
