January Models Reveal (Patreon)

Hey friends,

I'm sure you've been wondering what we have in store for January and patiently waited for our announcement, and now the wait is over! As it happens, January is going to be filled mostly with guest releases. But let's start from the beginning. Or, well, from the end.

It's been a few months since we released Bulka Crustreaper, and now time for us to update our 4-month Loyalty Reward (LR). Thanks to everyone who participated in the LR poll in November, we were able to design the next character in our own Bulkamancer setting. Welcome Mocha, a coffee-addict barista and Bulka's rival. Milana will be sculpting this model and that's pretty much a "quality guaranteed" stamp.

Moving on to High-Elf Archer. Seeing as our resident anime artist is busy with the LR model, we have enlisted help from a guest artist Wes Pontes. After seeing his Eris model, I'm confident the elf is in good hands!

I hinted at the next two characters in our Discord server last week by saying they were both related to Melina from Elden Ring (one in a very silly, yet painfully obvious way), but otherwise had nothing in common. Ironically, it was near impossible to guess Godfrey at the time without knowing Totenn was joining our team, but revealing that information would've made things too easy for anyone who checked his Twitter. It's one of his long-term projects that he's been working on for months with no end in sight, and now I am practically forcing him to finish it so we could all bask in its magnificence.

As for Accord, I was surprised a few people actually managed to connect the dots after a couple more hints (a suitcase and a title we've done before). But hey, it's really obvious if you think about it, isn't it?

Unlike most models released by us, this Accord was not originally created for Bulkamancer Sculpts. I first came across it on Reddit all the way back in April and immediately fell in love with it. We have a soft spot for niche characters here, in case you haven't noticed, so for the next few months I kept thinking how cool it would be to share it with our subscribers, so as soon as our audience grew large enough so we could afford it, I immediately contacted Michail A. Sotirchos, the artist behind the model, and asked him to sell us commercial rights to it. Much to my delight, he agreed, and now, hopefully, Accord can find some more well-deserved appreciation! We've ben sitting on the files since October, trying to find time to adapt the model for resin printing, but it's finally now or never!

Lastly, we have a new bonus model with another BG3 character, Mizora, by Ulysses Finamore, who created the community-favorite Karlach for us in September. Usually, we try to search for new guest artists each month to give others the ability to show off their skills to a wider audience. However, everyone adored Karlach so much and asked for more models from the same sculptor. Obviously, we couldn't deny such a strong request from our community, especially considering how thrilled Ulysses was to sculpt more BG3 characters. So, the audience has spoken, and now you will get to enjoy Mizora soon enough!

This is all we have prepared for January. Can't wait to print all those magnificent models! Every team member is doing their best despite the approaching holidays, all so we could deliver the very best for you! And if you're wondering about Victoria, she is taking a short break in January (nah, not really, she's already working hard on a February model that many of you will surely love as much as her recent Astarion).

Cheers!
