**DrMond**

Looks good, I'm in.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Not much of a past to base our pledge on, though.

**tarnish**

Backed! These are so amazing.

**spiralingcadaver**

Very cool aesthetic, thanks for sharing.

**highlord tamburlaine**

The big 4 legged thing looks neat.

How much will that cost when it's unlocked?

**spiralingcadaver**

It says it's a $30 add-on when unlocked, unclear if you can buy it on its own or not.

**mrhate**

Thanks for bringing that up, i made it more clear on the page now.

You will be able to add Putor to an existing pledge by increasing the total in the pledge manager or,
if you don't have any other pledges, you will be able to choose it using a new reward option that will be added if the stretch goal is reached.

To be fair, 2 of the 3 (potential 4) have already had masters printed.

And with these being 54mm, the pricing is fairly good.

**RiTides**

Yeah, the pricing actually makes me a little worried - it seems very low for 54mm models!

Thank you for labeling what is a render, printed master, and cast in your pictures, it is very much appreciated

and shows you've put some preparation into this.

**mrhate**

Yes the price is on the cheaper side, i am making very little profit with this project.
I was curious to see how something a bit more unusual would do on a kickstarter and i wanted these models to be as accessible as possible without compromising the quality, which is the thing i care the most about.
As far as labeling things, it's for clarity, i think it's good (and cool) to show what the process steps are, especially with the 3d part.

**RivenSkull**

The only thing that worries me is the physical art book. That I see taking up time/funds.

**spiralingcadaver**

Layout's pretty fast unless it's very elaborate (and they probably have most of it done if they've got a price for it, since you'd want a page count before getting an estimate), and assuming they're going for basically breaking even instead of making a profit, it's easy to make a small print run in the US without the hassle or volume of getting it done in China.

**Absolutionis**

The aesthetic reminds me of what I love from the video game Warframe, to a degree. It's just a preference, but 54mm is a bit too large for me, but the models look great.

**mrhate**

Yes I love the design for warframe! wish i had time to play it...
As far as the sketchbook, it should be roughly a 6x9 24 pages color book, getting this kind of thing printed in limited runs in the US is pretty easy, much easier than getting good quality resin casts.

A few renders of PUTOR, the biggest miniature of the series:

**spiralingcadaver**

Jumping in to bump this thread- got Deadsculpt's one mini currently in their line, and was very happy with the quality/results, for anyone on the fence and unsure about the execution/casting. (More complete review)

**RivenSkull**

22 hours to go.

Another model was unlocked: Lasciva

**Theophony**

If I could get just this last figure by itself then I'd be in, but alas I'd have to buy a single of one of the others before getting this one. Guess I'll wait for retail.

Same.

Looks like you can pledge $20 and then add another $20 for just 1 figure. Not sure I want to drop $40 (plus shipping).

But there is a pledge level if you just want Putor. Maybe there will be a pledge for just Lasciva?

Edit: Just noticed this on the KS:

Lasciva is not available as a single pledge, you can only get this miniature by adding 20$ to any of the miniature pledges (so the sketchbook pledge doesn't count).

**Jehan-reznor**

Some cool designs but the wrong scale for me, good luck with your endevours!

**Theophony**

I was thinking demon princes, so size is good for me.

**mrhate**

Hi!

There are 3 new miniature available for ATER on the website: http://www.deadsculpt.com/
