Assets for $3+ Patrons?
So I've started snipping and re-purposing parts of my old models for new models. For example, wings take forever to sculpt. So sometimes I like to import some wings I've already made, and adjust them to fit the personality of my new model. To all my $3 and higher patrons, would you like me to assemble a folder ...

Kickstarter Insider! Dog Breed Winner and Wolf Early Preview~
The German Shepherd was the winner for the dog breed poll!A few of you commented/messaged me saying the Shepherd would be too similar to the wolf.

*Update with decision* Kickstarter Insider! Similar models opinion?
UPDATE 6/30/19I will be reusing assets. They will not be identical however. This will allow me to allocate my time better to creating new, unique models. Plus, with a Kickstarter with 50 models I doubt it is going to hurt the variety hahaThe Tressym and the Cat casual poses are the most similar it will get. *Shown belo...
Kickstarter Decision! What dog breed?
I was just about to make the dog when I realized... There is a ton of variation with dogs.Like, a cat pretty much looks like a cat give or take some floof. So what breed do you want to see? I want to pick a big dog because a chihuahua is going to be way too teeny tiny. (And big dogs are my favorite)
