Some new Goldmaw Lizrds work in progress!

Hey friends!  First of all welcome to all the new Patrons! We are growing so fast that it looks unreal, we really appreciate that you like our sculpts!
Be prepared for some s-so english, the veterans already know that but the new Adventurers could be surprised about that ;)
As always, we try to let the sculpt speak for us!

The Goldmaw Lizard are under heavy sculpt and sketching, and today it was the turn of the Lizard Beauty. For this occasion the beauty will be useful as lizard priestess/sorcerer, as we had no intention to make a too explicit reptile.
Update: The model is not 100% finalized, but it starts to look what we were looking for. The Lizard beauty has been our biggest challenge so far!
We know many of you prefer to have beauties of the months more like powerful heroines, but for that role we always use one of the 2 heroes slot (when the month theme permits). For example, see Morgana this month, a full armored badass paladin!

3 Heads for the flying lizard
The epic mount of the next month will come with 3 heads. One resembling a sort of saur-wyvern, one wearking an ancient golden mask, and finally one with a huge prehistorical beak. Even the tird one is a fantasy creation, not the rapresentation of a specific dinosaur.

The idea behind the Goldmaw Lizard is that these creatures cohexists and cooperate for survival. Giant Lizards and antrompomorphic ones shares the same intellect and are basically related (two branch of the same species), they are meant to look similiar. 

Honestly we can't wait to see how you'll paint these angry reptiles!

Where's My SOL?
For some unknown reason half of the email with Sol link had failed this month. We received most of them back with a "fail do deliver" notification. We tried few more time but looks we need to find another method the next season. If you have supported us for August, September and October and you still received no Sol, send us a message here, please don't contact us in any other way. Your notification will be probably lost otherwise.
We currently answered to like 700 messages, we are doing our best comparing the list and sending the links :) Thank you for your patience!

NEXT MONTH FREE EPIC BOSS
As you might remember, next month every patron will receive the crocodile like Lizard Champio Zantharot as free Epic Boss, to celebrate Amazons! Kickstarter.
He's in fact one Epic Boss Stretch Goal of the KS, and it will be available to you even if you don't pledge on AMAZONS!
We decide to make some extra parts for Zantharot only available to our Patrons next month, something to thank you for your amazing support!
These parts of the kit will be Patreon exclusive and are not included in the Kickstarter Campaign. I hope you'll like the huge Mauls ;) and and the extra head!
By the way, the Snakes Queen Epic Boss (50K Euro Stretch Goal) has been unlocked!

We hope you like the Lizard beauty progress so far. Obviously it's still not in her final pose, still a lot of work to do on her.
Thank you!

just scale the model to the size you want, if that's say a 50% increase you just scale all other parts by the same % and you're all set...

Greg Kourakos

Wow! These look awesome! Can’t wait!

Barry Chapman

I love all your guy’s models but if there is anyway to print the figures on the bases because i love scaling up my models to 85 mm and also how do I estimate the size for the hands and weapons I’m new to this

david

I really like the lizard lady, my gripe is that I wanted the hero on an Ankylosaurus because they rock

Martin

YES!

Kady

Amazing

Chris D'Andrea

Just saw the update with the pose- excellent choice!

D W

You know what? These are bloody good!!

Dean Burling

Hips, thighs, tail, jawline looks feminine to me...especially posed next to the brutish male model.

Michael Villarreal

I didn’t vote for lizards, and when they won I didn’t vote for lizard pinup. So I don’t really have strong feelings about this “pinup” either way. If anything, I’ve a bit of “ha, that’s what you guys get for asking for this.” That said, I completely understand why people are upset. It’s a fine looking model, though in need of a chiropractor, but it’s certainly not a pinup, and there was at no point any indication this was coming based on history, what was written or voted on, or any of that. So, all the white knights need to ease up attacking the people disappointed; they have every right to be. Yeah, it’s a good model, for me it’s actually more useful, for others it’s now useless. That’s okay.

isaac kelley

someone took it too personal

troy

Personally i think its great. Pose is a bit over done maybe for her (cant be comfortable)? But other than that they both look amazing! love it!

Too many whiners in the comments about the pin up . I understand the frustration of not wanting the sexy ladies to go away with many others complaining about sexualization but I dont think artisans guild was trying not to make the lizard beauty sexy here but they were trying their best to combine the concept of the beauty with what most people VOTED FOR. I feel like people just want a sexy humanoid lady with big boobs and butt but In that case they should've just voted for the prisoner trapped or evil shaman woman. I personally like this sculpt because it is unique and there will always be more humanoid sexy ladies in the future or even in the kickstarter. I dont mind the lizard beauty because of that I even like her but I understand peoples frustration but many are being very rude and entitled to the artists who work very hard. I also dont have anything against the sexy ladies either since the reason I joined the patron was Ygrazz (cant resist a secy orc lady) next time I would Suggest A sketch of the Beauty so that people can get a better Idea of what they are going to get. P.S: The large majority of reptiles dont nurse so why would a lizard lady even have boobs

osvaldo bautista

Also "Morgana" link is broken

Kady

The gave all indication it would be, a little disappointed :(

Kady

Can't find that anywhere?

Kady

Still looks a bit masculine, I remember you saying you would give her feminine delicate features to make her look more female despite being a reptile :-p

Kady

After seeing the pose for the beauty on discord it turned out really well. The pecks were also less defined making look more feminine.

Generalnuke

I really wanted a lizard Pin up lol

Krikor Kouyoumdjian

I really like the lizard beauty she is actually a useful model that I can use and not just a "well pin-up" thank you for all your great designs

Lisa Kellogg

There are a lot of comments here... I'm excited to see the pose for this model! I think the model well portrays lizard folk and that there's a lot more than just anatomical composition that qualifies a model for that pin-up spot. The pose can absolutely make this model! The character it can add has the potential to far outweigh the sculpt. The pinup models are the ones I generally have the least practical table top use for, but they're probably my favorite to paint and I've definitely improved my own skin painting skill because of them. I also find there's a great range of both male and female models that are produced with each month's release. I don't think there needs to be an even split of which models are easily identifiable as one one gender or another - you should be able to sculpt the models your inspired to sculpt! Would I like to see more female models? Yes I would. As a long time tabletop gamer, there's a definite imbalance in what's available out there. It's one of the many reasons I happily support AG. Keep up the amazing work!

D W

aww, i was really looking forward to a "sexy" lizard :(

joshua

Beauty: I personally like the model a lot! I would love to see a collar similar to that of the illithid you did on her instead of the "ear webbing", also I don't think it needs the loin cloth if she doesn't have breasts, I assume you didn't add the other bits. Mount: Love all three heads, only hard part is picking one...

Masterwork Miniatures

Not honest? Sorry but the KS have nothing to do with this. This lizard lady is what inspired us mostly during the sketch phase, and it's the kind of beauty we want to make this round. You can't control 100% the art process. Or fault this time was probably to share a t-pose model (usually we don't even do that). The Tpose is just about anatomy of the character. Posing is another thing. Think about every other beauty we made and imagine if they were in "t-pose", basically standing and not doing anything. Pinup is about the attitude of the character, too early at this stage to jugde. Is your problem the fact that this lizard have no breast? Because it's the only thing that differentiate it from the other ladies. Yagraz had not a lot of breast either.

Artisan Guild

I think using that character for the hero would be great. It would definitely make a great sorceress. I know making a beauty or pin up for this set is pretty hard. Have you considered thinking of making her the lead singer of the band you were building? same sculpt just different outfit? The frills make a great head piece. Perhaps a slitted dress (similar to a Chinese style?) could help add some femininity... Now you have a singer for your band and a pin up...

Chris

“Beauty: Not easy but we will make it as always!” Except you didn’t. I am tremendously disappointed. This isn’t a pinup, and at no point did you indicate that we were voting for “no pinup” in the past polls. I don’t even especially value your pinups, most of them aren’t useful to me. This was probably the only one I was genuinely looking forward to having. Hopefully, once it’s properly posed that will redeem this a little but judging from your comments I doubt it. Frankly, I would have been just as happy getting a male pinup this time around. I would’ve at least appreciated honesty in your intentions on not giving us a pinup for this group during the voting phase. As it is I feel lied to, and that leaves an awfully bad taste in my mouth. This sculpt isn’t bad, strictly speaking, I’d have loved her as a hero for the group. I’m irked however that it would seem the only way we’d get a female lizardfolk at all is if they take up the beauty slot without being a pinup. I for one would’ve liked a mix of male and female units and heroes like you’ve done for most of your other sets over the past few months. I also feel compelled to point out that the fact you’re presenting this lack of reptile girl pinup right as the snake queen gets unlocked on your Kickstarter highlights the hypocrisy in this decision. You made a pinup “depth one” as an alternative option for goodness sake! Frankly, I thought you were more willing to push boundaries and maturely present attractive female characters. Your comment on what you want to do with a possible ogre-beauty for the Ironskin Ogres that have shown up in the last few polls seemed to indicate a willingness to explore new options in that vein. This isn’t what I was expecting based on what was presented to us as our options in the previous polls. This isn’t what I’d have anticipated based on your past work, either. In the future, I hope you’re more transparent about when you’re going to deviate from your usual formula. Otherwise, regardless of your intention, it feels like you haven’t been entirely honest with us and leaves me questioning the value of voting or providing input on what we want. As I said, I am deeply disappointed.

Dasaria

Not gonna lie, not the pinup I was expecting. Looks like all the "please don't objectify, or make them overly provocative" folks got their wish. I guess standing next to the male lizards you might be able to tell it's female. Any way about it, the sculpting is amazing, so not to criticize the work.

Don McLaughlin

but we're literally getting the female Silurian from Dr Who, instead?! Who wouldnt want Madame Vastra???

Atieno

Sweet! I really like that these models feel different than the last few months' stylistically. Good stuff.

Robert Johnson

Further to that Morena Baccarin was the lead baddie. She’s awesome and gorgeous so just make a sculpt of her! She was also in Deadpool as his love interest.

Dean Burling

The sculpt is brilliant but I don’t know how much it fits the “beauty” theme. I was thinking of something along the lines of “V” the tv series. You could have a female “human” beauty that her skin was splitting to reveal a lizard hidden underneath. Even some spikes starting to push through on her back. I think this a link with some images. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/clairemcc155.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/research-development-v-tv-series/amp/

Dean Burling

I think the reason -for me- that it feels a little off is 1) we don’t know the pose yet and 2) when people voted for the “true lizard pinup” I’m not sure it was clear that it actually meant “no pinup”. If that had been communicated more clearly, I think this would have been even better received -I think it was received pretty well but I’m referring to those that may have been disappointed. Pinup or no pinup isn’t a make or break for me, I see it as just an extra model. But I did appreciate some of the more non traditional ones such as Runa or the orc beauty. I do agree that the pinups can come across the wrong way for some and totally agreed that there isn’t equal representation there. For future pinups I personally would like to see more male models. I think the lizard people would have been perfect for a male pinup since you wouldn’t have to worry about the mammary debate. Just my thoughts on it. I may have voted for the elf or the human captive now that I’ve seen this one but not a huge deal. I’ll just have an extra badass lizard instead of a sexy one.

Julio Ibarra

Goldmaw Lizrds work in progress!- I love the design. no complaints, Was just about the lack of breasts, but they explained why. so its cool, other then that, they are working on it,

Sheldon Venter

I think people are pointing out it is not a pinup more because it is blockly (not curvy) then the actual sculpt which was really well made. You have the beauty standing in a t-pose. And If you cant tell the males from females well...I would like to ask though why you have different stance on pinups between lizard women and snake women for the kickstarter. And for future monthly voting can you point out when your sculpting stance would conflict so that people can vote appropriately. Goblins might have won or elf beauty might have been selected.

Generalnuke

I dont know, i like the design; im just not super fond of the pose. It seems a bit stiff and formal.

Atieno

Remember to eat, drink and sleep! And don't forget eachother among all this art😉

Andre Vo Nyseth

I really like the female lizard, love the direction you're going with it :D it's great to have options for awesome and obviously-female miniatures without them being overly provocative. I don't mind the pin-ups being part of the sets even though they're not suitable for my games, but it's gonna be so great to have female lizardfolk I can throw down beside all my male ones in any game, and to have them look as badass as this is just a bonus!

SuperHappyNihilist

You two are true artists. Bravo!😊💖

Andre Vo Nyseth

yes where are the "minne"? remember this sculpt is for a pin up...

Francky Il Pazzo

Hello :) Don't worry, Pinus will always be pinups. We didn't do that for the lizard as we are not really fan of furry and sexualized animals. If you like regular beauties in the amazons Kickstarter both the Amazon princess on panther and the medusa are really provocative characters

Artisan Guild

I love the look of the female Lizard! but where is her bewbs? XD

Sheldon Venter

I have to say, the sculpt is great, she will make an excellent shaman hero or priestess... but.... I find I wish I had not voted for lizardfolk beauty and instead voted for human captive or shaman. I had thought we were voting for a daring and provocative pinup like runa or the orc dancer or depth ones. Instead when we voted lizardfolk pinup we actually voted for no pinup but instead another kids friendly hero. Please don't get me wrong, I love the sculpt, but I feel that the edgy pinups that told me artisans guild wasn't afraid to do a few mature rated minis for their adult gamers, the daring ones that always are fun to paint and hilarious to present in game are getting pushed towards the kids friendly, usable extra hero's. Hope next month we get a more human like race so we can maybe have a pinup

Whiskeyjack

I like that, very different

John Norton

Wow. I’m very impressed; you took a rather impossible task (a lizard pinup/beauty?) and pulled it off amazingly.

isaac kelley

well, i dont like it but no problem sometimes happens with one mini ;)

Miguel

First of all... You need to give me the ability to print just that staff life sized 😂

Matt Dowis

The lizard lady is perfect!

V Verdouw-Olges

Love the designs! Can't wait to make these a rival of a Yaun-Ti clan I have going that share similarities

Dominic Ellis

I like it. I could see it able to be played as a male character too which is cool, pretty boy lizard.

HAChaos

I like the model the face looks nice. I hope the pose will be cool!
