DraugMiniatures

08/11/2023

Hello,
I'm changing this page to be for my currently main project
Draug Miniatures where I sculpt a bit more realistic fantasy and scifi to make them into 3D printable miniatures.

Kickstarter for my Orc busts is now live! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/draugminiatures/orc-busts-for-3d-printing

This is my second Kickstarter after the first one being successfully funded.

High quality pre-supported STL busts for 3D printing

13/03/2023

Work in progress of my wyvern 3D sculpture (for 3D printing, after posed later).
- So, it's the time of the year when I just suddenly change what I do. Well, you've seen me sculpting dragon busts before on .legacy but this time I want to know what I'm doing and not just sculpt randomly in confusion. Expect quality over quantity.

❓What do you like the most, Dragons or Wyverns?
What IRL size would this wyvern be? I'm thinking maybe 4-6 meters in height?
(In American measurements that is about 250-400 pennies stacked on each other)

- This is the result of the dragon/wyvern skeleton study I've been doing. Muscle study coming up soon too. I now have the power to understand enough of how a skeleton works for this kind of creature. Most of the anatomy comes from bats, chickens, t-rex and other dinosaurs. The rest is made up anatomy by myself.
- I'm almost done with all the shapes and I want to add surface details to it. All pieces are separate subtools (objects) in Zbrush so it's easy to pose.
I'm still not sure if I should spend time rigging it in Blender3D but that would be cool for sure. Maybe I'll just rig it a little bit 🤓
Should I?

🖌Work in progress 3D sculpture in Zbrush. Rendered in Blender Cycles. Very simple scen and material. The model needs a lot of cleanup later on... what you see in the render is just a merged and decimated version at 3mil polys down from 85mil and an infinit amount of subtools 😝. I will probably make textures and all that for a really epic render of it later.

Here are some poses that are in my next test animation in Blender Cycles. They are not taken from the animation itself because the camera angles are not set yet. The animation will basically be some different types of jumps for practice. I'll probably finish next animation sometime in 1-2 days from now, I have actually almost finished it, I just need some cleanup and tweaks, camera animation and then render it.
After that it's time for some walking and running combined with jumps and I will probably add in some more stuff for fun.
The final animation, will probably take place on a sandy or rocky beach with a full environment. Making that project be the biggest 3D project I have ever done so far, by far. I'm even planning on adding simulations and other effects. May do some practice renders for that before the real deal to refresh my memory.

❓Any ideas of things I should animate for practice?? Please send a comment. Can be anything as long as Craylite is a part of it. Good thing Blender3D can do so much, especially when it comes to stylized art styles.

Can't wait till I get to making these 3D animations with some story. Just want to make sure I can manage to do the animation basics first. Already have many ideas that I have written down and want to animate Craylite and other creatures I've already made.

3D Sculpted, retopologized, Normal map, UV-map in Zbrush.
The rest like Texturing, light, modeling, render in Blender.
I used Cycles for the render.

(TBA no.035) This is just before it decides to drink milk (which it really can't handle). It will transform into a mindless evil version of itself until the effect wears off.

I'll post the evil version some time when I feel like finishing it.

🖥🖌Sculpted in Zbrush, textured and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.
- 3D printing file - TBA

👍I'm upgrading my content👍
Can't do those random meaningless renders and turntables anymore. I want to tell more stories and I want to try new things.
- I'm taking a break from Patreon, will probably not get back to it and my stuff will be available in other ways. This was the second time I tried Patreon and I really don't like it. I'm also moving away from creating monthly packs. I don't like it. It makes me become like a robot that are not having fun. The series will continue but not in the way it has before. I'll still make collectible creatures for 3D printing but I will also focus on other things. I cant handle sticking to one thing only. It's not how my brain works. It's time for me to focus on what is fun, to learn more and to explore new ways to make 3D and miniature art.

02/02/2023

Upcoming printable creature for February. It will be no.035 in the Creature Index.
It goes kinda slow and I just want to show I'm working on stuff! May post a turntable soon. Send some hype in the comments please! 🥳 🙏

❤Any thoughts? Do you like it? 🤡👍

It does not have a name yet. I've had too much to do to think of that yet.
- Want to help me name it? Keep in mind this creature turns "evil" when it drinks milk. So don't give it milk. I want a name that works with that in some way.

I'm working on the evil version and a "zombie" scene diorama with them together.

🖌Sculpted in Zbrush, textured and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 4.

Soon I will open a My Mini factory store and also sell these as physical miniature figurines on Only-Games. I cant do it right now because it costs and I'm broke so I need a bit more sales on my current stores and Patreon first.
Still thinking of creating merch and stickers.. maybe this month if I have time.

*******************
Creature Miniatures are collectible 3D printable creatures. In printed format the creatures are 25-60mm in size depending on species. A human would be 75-100mm. You can of course choose your own size as I provide STLs, supported STLs and Lychee files. They are part of a universe filled with all kinds of stylized creatures, characters and more. In this moment there are around 30 creatures ready to be printed and every month you can find new ones on Patreon with a huge discount. They come as separate designer toys with extra poses, versions and upcoming ones with their own diorama scenes. If you want to print some, check out the link in bio.

--------------
Personally I decided to totally ignore and not celebrate Christmas this year because of personal reasons.
So instead I'm sitting on Christmas Eve (Sweden's equal to Christmas day) and just sorting photos and 3D sculpting on the next pack of 3D printable creatures. It's pretty chill.

Pearfish # 028
- Last creature for the monthly pack.
Right now you can get 17 unique pre-supported collectible creatures on my Patreon. To print and paint for your shelf.
17 creatures = The welcome pack + Monthly.
Link in bio!

- IMPORTANT -
Because this was the first month and I need to modify how I work, I have decided that this same pack will be up on Patreon all of December too. That means if you join this month and don't want to pay/support me double. You can get it now and cancel right away or set an alarm to subscribe 1st of December and it will not be double for this pack.

- I'm doing this so I can get a bit ahead and get a bit more control. I will create and paint a lot of new ones in the meanwhile. I want to create some basing material and display bases too. These will be available in December with this pack.

According to my calculations, in January I will have about 20 new creatures to release at around 10+ at a month.

Pearfish # 028
- Living in sweet water rivers, this small anglerfish lures in it's prey by pretending to be a tasty pear. The problem is that most fishes does not even know what a pear is. Therefore, most of the time the Pearfish will rely on humans or other animals dropping fruit into the water. It's favorite fruit is apples, believe it or not.

Crayalot # 033 - Thank you for pressing like! 👍🥹
- Craylite has grown up! What do you think of it?
❤If you see this post, please send a like and press all buttons you can. It would help me a lot as I spend all my days and sacrificing my life to make these creatures and 3D print files from them. I basically work for free as I only make about $40 a month from it yet, and all my education, other equipment, resin, paints and time costs a lot more than that. I need to make my dream come true some time. The hardest part is right now, just clicking a small button is not too much to ask. Well if you read this you probably already was going to click like and even comment. Thank you!

- Pre-supported STLs -
Crayalot is a part of the November pack on Patreon. Check it out along with the welcome pack. Thanks for the support!
- All STL print files will be available this weekend. Working hard on the 2 last ones.
- Link in Bio -

Crayalot # 033
- Evolving from Craylite # 032 and double the size of it. Crayalot are still living in fairly shallow waters but occasionally likes to explore deep underwater caves for food. There are know mutations of Crayalot, where all it's features get exaggerated by ingesting too much of a certain protein rich coral it finds within the deep caves.

12/11/2022

Larvatwin # 010.
- These larvas are very curios and does not really listen to their authorities.. they often wander away and needs to be watched at all time to not get into trouble. Most often that trouble comes from them eating other creatures food without knowing the consequences of their actions. They are always guarded by a Grumbug # 011, watching from a distance.
- To evolve into Grumbug themselves they will merge and become one. This may sound weird to other creatures but this is their way, nothing weird about it.

❓Do you think the color fits it?

💯Follow .miniatures for more collectible creatures.

Sculpted in Zbrush.
Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.
Color correction in Photoshop.

All creatures show are test printed and works really good. It will be so much fun to paint them for my collection!

Mantacute # 016
- Evolving from Raycute. Now, bigger and faster in the water. Having this new ability to faster flee from combat, it rarely has to use it's powers to boil the water around it.

Mantacute # 016
Type: Water
✨Evolutions - Raycute > Mantacute

Crabrute # 014.
- 3 pre-supported STLs dropped on Patreon for the November pack! 😊
Please check it out in the link in my bio.

What do you think of Crabrute? 😊

💯Follow .miniatures for more like this, reels of prints and paints etc.

Crabrute # 014
- This species of crab are all born very shy and afraid of the world. To counter this, when evolving from Shycrab, it grows bigger spikes on it's back, longer legs and a huge claw, so heavy it can barely lift it. Instead of a shy overbite it now has a brutes underbite with two big teeth. Being shy and afraid as young has also made it develop a 360 degrees vision. Still, Crabrute is not brutal or very dangerous, it's just a scared little creature with a brutes body.

06/11/2022

Hello there! Here is the work in progress of the November pack of collectible creature STLs available soon on Patreon (Link in bio).

❗Shroomtle # 019
- Water / Psychic type -
A small sea turtle capable of growing a special underwater mushroom on it's back. This and it's evolutions are the only known species to do this and also the only ones who can draw the powers from these mushrooms. Shroomtle is a peaceful creature and it does not actually need to eat as long as it's growing a mushroom to draw power from. It's often seen eating different kind of seaweeds just for the taste of it. When Shroomtles are old enough they crawl up on land and evolves into a tortoise like creature called Prophetoise. The Prophetoise, as it's name may hint, is considered to be holy in many cultures around the universe.

Shroomtle # 019

- It's psychic powers comes from what it grows on it's back.

Slyslow # 038
- A collectible creature miniature
- Pre-supported STL -

Part of a growing collection of collectible creature miniatures.

Slyslow # 038
- Slyslow is a sneaky snail with questionable intentions. Dwelling deep inside caves, it only comes up to the surface if it's hungry enough. It spits poison to paralyze it's prey. If you meet one you better walk away. It's so slow that you don't even have to run, as long as you dodge the spitting....

Grumbug #010 - Bug type -
- A grumpy type of bug. This beetle is usually found in gardens, munching on flowers. Is not easily scared away as it's to lazy to move. If you want to save your flowers you better just pick it up and move it to another location. When it evolves into it's final form it's far more dangerous and you should just stay away.

Creature lore:

Ray
- This small Ray is a mostly peaceful creature minding it's own business. It feeds off plankton it gets in it's mouth when it swims around. When threatened it uses the yellow glands on it's back to violently boil the surrounding water. Scaring the predators off.

Octopus
- This small octopus is a very intelligent creature.
To find food it analyses it's surroundings and calculates the situation, then throws rocks to lure it's prey to different locations. It also does this to move stealthy by confusing other sea creatures with sudden "flying" rocks.
When threatened it swims backwards towards it's enemy with the horn first.

Crab
- This small crab is a very shy creature. It favorite food is seaweed. It uses it's bigger claw to scare away threats but no one seems to be scared of it... therefore it has also developed a shell that can change it's colors for camouflaging it. While in camo it's very hard to spot.

17/10/2022

Here are some new renders with new textures and better lighting of Ray.
- What do you think about Ray?

Ray
- A mostly peaceful creature, but scare it and the yellow spots on its back will heat up and boil the water around it to scare away threats.
- I still need a name for the species so please if you have anything send a comment!

If you want the STL it's now up on in a discounted pack "3 Sea critters".

I calculated that I could possibly creature about 15-20 of these per month when I get a hold of the workflow a bit more, and still keep the quality in the designs. I will also have time to render them like this if I do the texturing and render for fun outside of "working hours". Painting the prints and all that stuff too.
Btw do you wanna hear my longest "Yeah boi?"
- Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

- This spider can turn into any color and have any texture. Just like a chameleon or octopus.
❓ Any name suggestions for a species like this?
❗️I decided to recolor and rerender it as I was not happy with the other version I posted (now achieved).

What do you think of this one?
- A few more and then I'll start on some dioramas and later also bigger creatures.

CHONKY DRAGON
- Likes to spend most of it's days eating and being grumpy over the lack of food. It's actually not unhealthy for this kind of dragon to eat soo much, so no need to get worried!

DRAGON CROC
- A very proud individual. He once got a nice compliment about his posture and now he can't relax about it. No one can tell his struggles, as he always keeps his back straight... well, okay, curved.

YOUNG DEMON DRAGON
- A young rebel, even for being a demon born dragon. Loves to scare humans, even though it's too young to legally eat them, this rebel may or may not, sometimes, perhaps have a taste of a finger or two? Probably.

BASE
- 32x32x35.
