Lord of Shifting dooms preview and a some discussion (Patreon)
Content
The model attached is a W.I.P., I was undecided if show it or not due the recent polemic about the last Stretch Goal (The Chosen), but I want to show you I work over more models. My actual idea is to release it to all patrons (sci-fi and fantasy) as soon as it is completed (maybe this month, but I'm not sure, as always, I'm in delay). So, it is not a stretch goal (something that will be releases as soon as we reached a goal).
Unfortunately (or fortunately), Ghamak is close to being a one-man show company. I have to divide my time between sculpting, Patreon messages, Facebook conversations, MyMiniFactory's PM, Patreon's comments and, again, on MMF. Not only this, but there is also the part where I have to correct the files (which from time to time occasionally disappear or begin corrupted, or have defects that the tight Patreon deadlines do not allow me to notice), and do not neglect the bureaucratic burdens; believe it or not, my work starts from 9 in the morning until more or less 8 in the evening, every single day.
I have to make the hard choice of choosing what to prioritize, sculpting and checking files are in the first place, Patreon comments almost to the end, I don't know if it is the best choice. I need someone that read PM, answer, update the page etc. etc. but I cannot assign this work to anyone, because Patreon do not allow me to gain a (very expensive) upgrade to my Patreon page that allows me to assign roles on the page (I need the impossible amount of 100000 followers on any social media). So, if on Facebook sometimes Paolo or Emiliano help me, but on Patreon where I accumulate even 30 PM per day, it is all my duty (I didn't know exactly how many messages I have to read on MMF, sorry). Also, comments on posts are hard to find after a few hours, I must search the Patreon email or scroll every single post to find the new comment.
To make things difficult, some of you shared the Drive folders links. It is just weird to see your work stolen, became weirder when you pay the cloud storage for people that stolen it. So, all is moved to MyMiniFactory groups, the problem is I must manually add every new patron's email inside the right group, before now was a single add at the end of the month (or first days of the subsequent month). Another issue, MMF upload is slow and I have slow internet (I hope 5G will save me), so it is a boring, long process. I must make a decision about that.
I have to update the guidepost, because it refers to the old file sharing method, I'm still unsure how to get around it, and I haven't done that yet. I know this generated confusion. A resounding "mea culpa."
Just to answer many of your questions, you need to have a MyMinifactory account with your Patreon Email to have access to the files, your email is just added to the group. If you have a better solution, please comment here.
As positive note, all the models, missed on the preview, are completed and you'll find it tomorrow or after tomorrow (remember the slow internet):
Fantasy
- Three Dragons Riders
- Pegasus
- City Guards
- Chosen with alternative energy flux
SCI-FI
- 40 and 25 mm scenic bases
All the rendering are almost ready
Thanks for your support and patience :)
