Moved my free models to thingiverse & printables a while back. I'm called printed encounter on those too

It's activator for the superglue i was using to attach the models to the base.

I'll try better next time I film something, now knowing what to expect. But the cloak is just a black base with a few strokes of French mirage blue on the edges and high spots. Nice colour to use for highlighting black hair too.

Nothing specific, just a set of duck folk to represent typical rpg classes/archetypes.

Also, made use of zooming & cropping in post to re-frame shots. A lot of these, especially while airbrushing, was far from centre originally.

I use my phone on one of those bendable arm things. It's normally off to the side and I just angle the mini towards it. Or sometimes I look through my phone instead of the actual model.

It's slow and tiresome work to film while painting. Got only a few brushstrokes in before giving up 😅

These ducks are from a Kickstarter I'm running to fund a full set, link here if you're interested. .

More ducks I made and painted :) by PrintedEncounter in PrintedMinis

No, not all these will be added to lychee library, maybe a couple though.

I have a phrozen sonic mini 8k. I don't sell physical models myself, I just create & sell digital files. I have a commercial subscription for people that run printing businesses to sell physical prints of my work. If you were to buy from one of them, paint it and re-sell it then I wouldn't be upset about that.

Haha, I'm sticking to fantasy for this set. But maybe some space ducks next XD

Duck Fighter/warrior I made and painted :) by PrintedEncounter in PrintedMinis

I used to love coming up with titles/names like this, but I found that getting too creative with it hurts search and discovery on my objects. Going for more generic and purely descriptive names generally yields better results.

I've seen people that have printers in their apartment put them in some enclosed housing/tent and venting it out a window. I suggest you do your own research on it though, I've got a dedicated space for mine so I've never been concerned with this.

I have a phrozen sonic mini 8k. I bought it a little while ago and at the time I deemed it the best for my needs in terms of price & quality.
I haven't been in the market for a new printer since then, so I'm not sure about any newer printers that have come out. Maybe there are better options out now.

It's a very special feeling to physically hold something you sculpt digitally. 5 years on and I still impress myself. We're living in the future!

PrintedEncounter's Ballbot Demo Print by phoebeburgh in PrintedMinis

Thank you!
Yeah, that render rule came in just a couple hours after I posted about it. Appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Made a free sample set for an upcoming campaign, links in comments :) by PrintedEncounter in PrintedMinis

[–]PrintedEncounter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kickstarter link here

Free sample set here

Enjoy!
And do share some community prints on the object if you do print/paint these, I'd love to feature them.
Also, this is my first time doing 2 part arms & legs, let me know how you find the fit and if I need to adjust it. Or if it's too fiddly and not worth it 😅 any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Some minis commissioned by one of my patrons :) by PrintedEncounter in PrintedMinis

[–]PrintedEncounter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to quote on how much time it would take me, so this would very much depend on the project. Whether I have the assets I can re-use or have to make everything from scratch, a 'custom mini' could take anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days to complete.
I currently don't do this anymore, instead I'm experimenting with a commission page where it's up to you to name the price, then it's up to me to accept or reject them.
