Little update with some pics
Added 2020-12-09 16:02:46 +0000 UTCHello guys!
How's going? We wanted to make a little update to show you the progress on the Frostmetal Clan coming tomorrow, and also taking the chance to confirm that the terrain for the Sylvan Knights is live in our previous post.
Today we finally upgraded our EPIC STUDIOS. Artisan Guild "studios" is currently a room of about 2.4 x 1.2 meters.
It's pretty tiny, but we afterall we work on tiny heroes and monsters :)
Instead of having two supermini desks we made a custom plank for both, so much more space to create and work, it really feels more inspiring!
Sadly by making house quality of life updates we hit an hydraulic hose with the drill and it resulted in water EVERYWHERE :O
Here a quick sketch we did for our Orc Hero of the next month: Kentargh Grotar. This immortal Orc is a powerful warrior and necromancer, and for the first time we will have two "recently-summoned (assembled?)" skeletons.
Does this means that perhaps one day we will end up making an Undead Set? Perhaps...
Kentargh Grotar is the character I make for most games where Orcs or Half-Orcs are permitted, rocking necromantic spells, summoning skeletons and wearing heavy armors, if possible. This is expecially true for our RPG, wich is currently only a personal project started 9 years ago.
Here one of the Modular Frostmetal Ogre, a non-heroic character suited as bandit, monster, mercenary, warband members... but maybe also as player character. It looks like our huge Ogre can even be scaled down to a regular chunky Orc if you prefer so. This has been quickly "bucket" colored in Zbrush to see how it could look once painted, nothing fancy :)
The cool problem with our Ogre is that they are really big. We decided from our first month on Patreon that the Ogre of our universe are really massive. Just look at the size of this Ogre warlord Hero... the box simulate the bed of an Anycubic Photon. It doesn't fit, but we will make some cuts hidden in the fur to split the huge Rhino and shell it. This is the Epic Beast/Mount of the next month, as regular cavalry unit we will do 3 Frostmetal Worgs with Orcs on top.
And now back to work! We hope you like the progress so far :)
Cheers!

2020-12-14 07:11:27 +0000 UTCHey AG....I know this is a little off topic, but I was looking around for hoodies (and t-shirts) for artists I like to support and was wondering if you guys have considered making some hoodie/t-shirt designs (like with your logo or whatever) and putting them up for sale on Teespring. Just a thought :)

Artisan Guild
2020-12-12 10:47:25 +0000 UTCIts pretty comfortable and safe for the spine, even if it doesnt look so :)
Artisan Guild
2020-12-12 10:46:02 +0000 UTCThe office looks really stylish too. What kind of keyboards are those?
Battle Yak
2020-12-12 07:25:18 +0000 UTCI would refuse to work from that chair on the left. Otherwise the setup looks nice and humble.
Joel Dressler
2020-12-10 20:19:49 +0000 UTCRenders look amazing, but that chair on the left is making my back hurt just looking at it.
2020-12-10 17:25:52 +0000 UTCEpic! Excited for the new way you guys are doing things! Happy new studio!
2020-12-10 14:04:45 +0000 UTCThat was another concept, the Ironskin Ogre (before they went immortal). It's probably out of place on this set, but we keep the idea for the future :)
Artisan Guild
2020-12-10 09:11:00 +0000 UTCLooking awesome...really exited to get this set! It's really hard to pick my favorite sets, but I think this one might be in the top 5 at least. Oh, and I'll join the "skeletons please" crowd. Cheers! :)
Rob Leonard
2020-12-10 06:53:39 +0000 UTCThis set is looking fantastic. Keep up the great work.

2020-12-10 00:26:59 +0000 UTCI love the peek at the “offices”! You know, normally I am not big on ogres. But that is amazing! Excited to see it printed!
Erik Johnson
2020-12-09 23:01:32 +0000 UTCvediamo se ci arriviamo, abbiamo tante idee ma a volte non ci entrano tutte in un set ahah
Artisan Guild
2020-12-09 22:48:09 +0000 UTCit's a "best render", no settings :) it depends on the matcap
Artisan Guild
2020-12-09 22:47:32 +0000 UTCNice, I hope one of them is holding a sheep or pig like the original concept, maybe even the beauty :) P.S. agree with the others, get a better chair, don't want you to have bad back or neck so you can continue making awesome designs.
demonwombatofdoom
2020-12-09 22:05:10 +0000 UTCGet a better chair!
2020-12-09 20:55:43 +0000 UTCskeletons... interesting... very interesting... by the way io sto ancora sperando in quelche (notare il plurale) elmo "chiuso" come quello visto negli schizzi...

Niels Korteling
2020-12-09 19:56:50 +0000 UTCFinal preview image looks great, that's an amazing design on the ogre boss. Would you mind sharing your render settings from Zbrush? It makes everything look so good with great shading.
Battle Yak
2020-12-09 19:40:22 +0000 UTCSo gorgeous, I really wish I had 3D modeling skills anywhere near as wonderful as yours.

Matthias Schobloch
2020-12-09 17:38:27 +0000 UTCThis set is looking amazing! Just adding my voice that I would love to see an undead set in the future!
Quinn Cousins
2020-12-09 17:32:27 +0000 UTCI love the size of these! Work space looks cool might have to take notes for my own work space. If you don't mind me asking, What is your hardware(computer, drawing tablets, printers)?
Tristan Wood
2020-12-09 17:25:08 +0000 UTCThe rhino is baller! Keep up the great work and good for you for upgrading your workspace! You deserve it! Hope all is well with the mishap though. Happy Holidays! Be sure to enjoy some time for yourselves!

Jonathan Morales
2020-12-09 16:21:53 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about your water troubles! Guess its time to buy a fancy stud finder that can detect pipes and a/c wires ;) Love the ogre hero on wooly rhino! I never voted for the frostmetal but I always knew I would love them! Hope the summoned skeletons are a precurser to a future all undead release!
James Harrison
2020-12-09 16:13:41 +0000 UTCLooking forward to this so much! And yes an undead set would be amazing by the lovely talents of artisan guild!
