Frogmouth helm Knight on his Raptor steed, equipped with lance & shield. Initially, it was going to be a Pachy, but Raptors are much more fun to draw. Next, maybe a Mongol on a Gallimimus? Roman legion on a Syracosaurus? Some sort of siege machine built on a Sauropod? We will see

Also, sorry for poor camera skills & image quality; it’s an old phone at this point

New weapon pack soon, also Chinese. Only reason it was done so fast was that I was working on it WITH the other pack; by the time I was done with the Remaster, I was already 9/12 weapons on this one.

I don’t suggest looking too closely at the thumbnail. It’s kind of pretty from a distance, but the outlines and export quality fall apart at a closer glance. If you do want to see the gradients or whatever with a better view, the second image is better for it.

Honestly, might redo the thumbnail. It worked a lot better when I made it. I’ll still keep the animal & color scheme, but I’ll be shuffling things around

Four years ago today, my second weapon pack was released, themed around traditional Chinese weapons. The quality of this pack didn’t really hold up, and honestly, I get a little sad whenever I see it, because it’s gotten a lot of downloads for something I’m not happy with anymore.

So I sought to remaster it in the past couple of weeks, and this is my result. Top image is a plain showcase of the weapons; the bottom is a comparison between new and old (left & top is new, right & bottom is old, if that makes sense). I didn’t have time to make the thumbnail, unfortunately, so I can’t show that off

A new feature here: tassels, which will be able to be attached to weapons. It will be easier to use them if you’re willing and able to edit the figures themselves to utilize customization and better placement, because the system I have is a little rudimentary. More tassels will be made in later packs, with the same placement system, of course

ORIGINALLY, the plan was to make the remaster and include a few new weapons in there, such as the Jiuhuandao and Hudiedao seen in the last post. However, I got a bit too ambitious, and started including more and more, and eventually, there were 22 total unique figures and some 50+ included parts. That’s a bit too much, even by my standards. So I have to split it in two – expect a second Chinese weapon pack in the coming weeks. I’ll probably be posting a sneak peek, because I have a lot of them done already, as I was working on both the remasters and the new weapons simultaneously

That’s all, have a good day 🙂

The STANCH will be released soon. Keep an eye out…
I’ll start working on DOOM figures, my OC design, and other minor things. At the rate of three completed projects a year. Thank you Stick Nodes

I will be working on finishing in-progress projects, then moving to DOOM weapons for a small bit – hopefully, I will then have the motivation to start on remastered weapon packs and perhaps even my OC in figure form.

Stanchion figure soon, and next Saeculorium post is tomorrow. It will be covering Srivijaya

The beautiful, sprawling Salt River Canyon. Photos taken by me

It’s not the Grand Canyon, but it’s still absolutely breathtaking. A lot better in person, obviously, as with most pictures.
Drivers in Arizona are usually just complete morons, but along the ridge of the canyon, everyone drove VERY slow and cautious. I’m not sure if they were scared of flying off the edge, or if they were admiring the landscape; either way, definitely made it a lot better
There were a few car wrecks at the bottom of the basin along the wall, along with many flowers and crosses on the barricades. Didn’t take any pictures of that, felt a bit disrespectful, not sure why
I can go on for hours, hating on my state, but the natural beauty and sunsets (not featured here, obviously) are undeniably gorgeous. Almost makes you forget you’re baking in the average year-long heat of 120°F

In other news, Stanchion is in progress. After it’s done, I’ll probably take a small break from making figures – like a week to a month, we’ll see

Quick hall-type backgrounds for ye old times, they will be submitted separately because I’m greedy 👿
Also relatively low-detail and low-node for any animations people might want to make; I was thinking some small 2D fight scenes would be great on these. Maybe scenery if you’re creative

If there are any mistakes with the thumbnails, assume it was on purpose, thanks
Back to Halo figures

Halo UNSC Crate & Container pack; basically storage props

Not too detailed or complicated, all on the lower end of node counts, meant for large scenes and such. There are, however, still moveable and customizable parts. Names are somewhat random/generic, because if I used the lore names, you’d never find them in your library
Entire pack is subject to change, and it will be a second before I submit it, because I’m not sure if I want to change, add, or remove anything. Also, as mentioned yesterday, this is one of many Halo UNSC prop packs I mean to make, next one likely being covers and barricades

As a side note, it’s taken 11 months to make all this (working on-and-off of course), so ironic that I get it finished the day after MJ posts some prop figures 😔
