New Goal Reward - Ideas?

My suggestion is more minis for creatures that are common in the existing WotC adventures. Vampires, more giants, a Tiamat, etc. It would give them more 'usability'. Hmm Tiamat would be a good goal mini!

Rob

I would Just like basic figurines; skeletons, bandits, orcs, hobgoblins, bugbears, etc... More gaints would be nice too.

Bucktooth Danger McGurt

Yeah, I'd like to finish off the giant races (still need to do fire, storm, and cloud) and update the orcs/adventurers... What kind of terrain were you thinking? Like maps/tiles or props (ruins, trees, bookshelves, etc)?

PrintableHeroes

Manticore almost made the short list along side Griffons and Sphinx. There's a good chance I'll do them as regular monthly minis - they just barely don't make the cut for the level of grandeur I'm shooting for on these Goal Rewards, but they'd be a whole lot of fun to do.

PrintableHeroes

I have so many ideas for elementals and (shiver) giant elementals, they're still kind of like the dessert at the end of a meal for me - they'll be so much fun I'm kind of saving them as a reward for myself once I get caught up on my other obligations (townsfolk and bandits...)

PrintableHeroes

Hey Scott, I probably wont be able to do specific "product identity" work as a regular thing through Patreon as anything I do would have to be released via the DMsGuild and I don't really have a way to link that to Patreon's tier rewards.

PrintableHeroes

Ahh, that is an awesome idea. No promises on a timeline, but I'm excited by the idea nad have already started looking through the spelll list to see would be required token/mini/template-wise to be useful

PrintableHeroes

A manticore would be pretty awesome! It's a monster that while epic in appearance could show up in a lot of starter campaigns as well as experienced campaigns.

Spells under your art style would be sick. Or circles we could lay on our mat to represent AOEs

I would pay extra for Eberron specific work. Emerald Claw, Karnnathi undead, Dolgaunts, etc.

I would love to see another demi-god like Demogorgon, like Tiamat or a devil OR demon lord :) Otherwise, I still wish upon a digital star when you start making Elementals. Maybe even a giant elemental?

Alex Selador

Maybe a Mount theme with griffon, hippogriff and Pegasus?

Hey Tomas, thanks so much for the support :D I'm really looking forward to doing some more giants in the future - at the least Fire, Cloud, and Storm. I do really need to put a guide together and post it somewhere. I recommend for best results using 68lb or thicker glossy photo paper, use an extra strength glue stick to adhere both sides together, then take your time cutting them out with a razor. I personally use the printable bases included with my minis and just let the minis take over all my shelves, but if storage is an issue then I would recommend picking up some plastic clip bases so you can pop the minis out and stack them when you're not using them - if I traveled more for my games that is the way I'd go.

PrintableHeroes

I just threw my wallet at you big time =) A couple requests from me would be the giants and Iymrith from Storm Kings Thunder! I love your work thou! But do you have any good guide or tips on how to get those created, standing and stored?

Tomas Bubicic

I would love to see more giants, maybe a updated party of adventurers, an army of orcs, Terrain is also welcome.

Wayne Humfleet

I'd be happy with either Dragon Turtle or Strahd for after the Orcus.

The Watcher

One thing that would be AWESOME would be terrain packs. Printable things like pillars or boxes in your style would be great for designing more diverse encounters.

Sorry! I forgot to edit the body of the main post. $1000 is Beholder, $1200 is Orcus, and beyond that is still undetermined (Dragon Turtle still in the running, as is Strahd).

PrintableHeroes

So... looks like Orcus will be $1000 reward? And then dragon turtle for $1200 (or w/e), or are you still looking for suggestions for that one?

thelibraryghost

That sounds awesome! If time permits would you consider doing a zombie Beholder reskin/alt color? I ask only because it would work great for a campaign I'm working on.

Tony Kraft

Thanks! I think we must have hit it while I was asleep and then dropped below again before I woke up haha, ah well, still crazy exciting to have so much interest! That light at the end of the tunnel steadily gets brighter

PrintableHeroes

From everything I've read, I can't legally create/release a creature that looks a beholder (one eye with multiple eye stalks), I could do something similar (one big eye, no stalks or all stalks no big eye, etc) and call it something different which maybe how other makers got around it. The DMsGuild however does make it possible for me to legally create and make available official "Product Identity" content.

PrintableHeroes

Okay, going with Beholder as that seems to be the clear favorite, but Orcus was a close 2nd so he'll be the reward following it.

PrintableHeroes

Congrats on $1000! Can't imagine how exciting that is. Great work!

Mark Kissinger

Well it looks I'm too late, since it seems you've decided on the beholder. But my vote is on Orcus. Consider that for a future mini. BTW, other paper mini makers have released beholders. I know that Fat Dragon Games has a full 3D one.

Robert Nemeth (NOLA Bert)

Go on with orcus!

Alessandro Biasi

mind flayers?

A lich?

The Beholder sounds amazing! I'm currently running OoTA and I thought it'd be awesome if you could create the creatures from specific adventure books to package and sell them. I'm sure the thought has crossed your mind but thought I'd drop it here if it didn't. P.S. Love your work!

I would love a Beholder. I've never been a big fan of the offcial minis they releases. I like the unusual beholders like the White one from the new Volos guide book

Elmo K44

A shit ton of townfolk from shady to humble to rich and poor. Never have enough and they can be so versatile.

Jack Montague

the tarrasque is a good idea!

Bryan Gillispie

Another vote for the Beholder/Variants and also some more PC race/class combos! Thanks again for all you do!

The Watcher

A manticore or some mycondids would be cool!

P.R. Scholtz

BRILLIANT!

P.R. Scholtz

Looking into it further. For monsters like the Beholder that aren't covered by the OGL, I can do them as long as I release them only on the DMsGuild. The money pledged on Patreon for the reward goal is treated just like any other artist being commissioned by someone else for a published article on the DMsGuild. So what I can do is publish them on the DMsGuild and make them "Pay What You Want" so they'll still be free to anyone and everyone, and then just link from my Patreon to them on the DMsGuild.

PrintableHeroes

Perhaps the biggest, baddest monster there is: The Tarrasque!

Sean vas Terra

Nice selections! I'd get way more use from the Beholder.

Bryan Gillispie

ORCUS PLEASE!

Luke Greed

They made much of their existing monster manuals from the 3.5 edition era covered by the OGL, to my knowledge there is only a relatively small list of monsters that were not included, beholders, mindflayers, yaun-ti, and surprisingly carrion crawlers are among them.

PrintableHeroes

I'm rather surprised that Orcus, a named character, IS covered by the OGL. Huh.

Chris Stone-Bush

Dracolich maybe?

James Clark

Dinosaurs! Zombie reskins and skeletal Dino's!

P.R. Scholtz

Those are my thoughts. Call it an eyebeast or some such thing.

P.R. Scholtz

Aww rats. So the beholder is off the table? That's the one I most wanted to see. Couldn't you do a Gazer, an Eye Tyrant, or an Orb Queen, or something?

Chris Stone-Bush

That sucks about the mindflayers but again... not worth the risk. I like Imps idea of the batch of PCs but given the new info... Orcus.. I vote Orcus lol.

Kristopher S McCalister

Cant go wrong with random PC arch types and races

Imp's Corner

I guess i would go with dragon turtle cause it would be the one i would most likely to use. I would love to have some golems though. I like how you have good representation in your minis so a golem that looks like a lady would be awesome and different.

Arahmon

Orcus would be awesome!!

Luke Labatlus

If beholders are off the table (understandable so), I'd have to go with Orcus. Maybe for $1200, Gibbering Mouther?

Mark Kissinger

Id love to see a beholder mini :)

JT Hood

It's not as big but I think the beholder. You provide a kick ass service in making these minis because they are expensive. Many dms don't have access to beholders despite that being one of the more likely monsters a party is likely to see

Orcus please! After your demogorgon, I'll take any demon lords you want to make. :)

Orcus would fit rather perfectly with my current campaign :D

Ardule

Unfortunately mindflayers are also one of the few monsters not covered by the Open Gaming License :/

PrintableHeroes

A tarrasque would be really cool, or maybe a kraken... or some dinosaurs

Harrison Naftelberg

Probably not worth the risk on beholders (although that's what I want...) I'd put my vote in for some mindflayers?

Kristopher S McCalister

Orcus looks awesome!!

Sorry guys, just read through every scrap of legal documentation I could find on it and looks like Beholders are off the table :/

PrintableHeroes

Orcus i would love to have all the Demon Princess

Michael Gossage

Yeah, I've been trying to find how that applies if I release it for free, if that falls under fanart.

PrintableHeroes

Beholders! (As if that was in question.)

Frank L Turfler

If i'm not sorely mistaken, Beholders are reserved (via copyright law) by WoC.

Stephan Beal

Just adding to the resounding chorus, but beholders (and variants of them like spectators) would be AWESOME!

Beholders, Strahd and his vampire court. Awesome!! Still think we should keep the Demon Lords in thought too. For later :)

Michael

Alright, I think Beholder is the clear favorite. I do intend to do Strahd at somepoint, have no fear - well, have all of the fear actually ha.

PrintableHeroes

Agreed lol

Michael

As much as I love Orcus beholders are amazing and I would love to see you do some form of beholder, death tyrant or gauth :D

Dungeon Master Benjamin

I cant say it enough, beholder!!! and maybe some of the lesser types of beholders? Spectators, Gazers, Gauths.

Beholder would be my choice!

Alan Schram

If I had to choose between those three I'd say Beholder since it is so iconic. Didn't you already do one though? I'd actually like to see you do a small set of vampires including your sketch of Strahd you mentioned. I think given the popularity of that model it'd be really popular even if it was just Strahd himself. I know the worm was 3 parts so maybe 2 or 3 vampires (Strahd and two different thrills)?

Andrew Cartwright

I would love a new big terrifying beholder, maybe with a few subraces (specifically the Death Tyrant).
