Future of MMM (going back to original ideals) (Patreon)

Hey Everyone,

      I recently realized I've moved away from my original ideals and goal for my patreon. The first day I decided to do this, back in November 19th, 2019, I said one thing to myself "Im gonna make some cool sh*t and if someone wants it, thats all I can hope for." However, my current mindset has been "Oh I gotta keep up with these 30-50 mini releases from the bigcreators." and thats just impossible for me to do on my own. I feel like my sculpts, my communication with you all (a big one), and my outside life has declined due to this constant need to do more.

      For some reason, the STL world has always been very competitive for me and even more so between 2020-2022, during its huge boom. I noticed myself drifting away from my original ideals and tried competing with larger Patreons, even if they have a team creating their content. I need to remember, Iam a solo artist, and Im not suppose to be able to keep up with that.

      What Im trying to say is, moving forward, Im going to focus on larger creatures and more elaborate compositions. My collections will start to be large, huge, and gargantuan (D&D scale) sized creatures between 8-10 pieces for a release. 

      I've been a 3D artist since 2004 and been running my patreon since 2019. I truly want to feel a sense of pride when I look at the page after all these years. My current mindset is that this is where I get to leave my mark. I want to know Im giving you all the best I can do and not some half assed, boring and basic looking extra, just to fill up a render to look like theres way more. 

      On that note, I want to thank all of you that truly love and enjoy my creations. I handle all my social media pages every day, so I see you all. I see the people that comment, tag me on Instagram, share paintings and prints on Facebook, tag me on TikTok, chat on Discord, share on MMF, and even completely forgive me for poor communication.

     I hope you all are looking forward to the coming months and years. I really want this redirection back to my original mindset to be better for everyone!

     Much love for the support and continued support from all of you!

-Lee

I'm glad you're finding an output level that works for you. I dig your style and desire to make different stuff, plus your presupports have always worked great for me, even when I was still figuring this hobby out on my derpy first machine. But it's also worth noting that I've actually *painted* more stuff from you than from most 3D sculptors I patreon. I'm not sure why that is - maybe because your texture work fits with how I like to paint minis (washes, glazes, etc)? - but I'm happy to give you most of the credit there! Anyway, thanks for sticking with it, MMM.

Only solution I can suggest to you is multi-poses. Loot Studios has started doing this, A gunman standing at rest, then with his gun up, and a prone sniper pose for example. Maybe Monster pose1, pose2, and slain?
