Update + Turning point

Hey guys!

I apologize for the late update. It's been a tumultuous month due to personal matters, not to mention my tablet deciding to give up on me after 9 years. Not too bad a lifespan, I guess! I've spent numerous days without making any progress, waiting for a replacement to arrive from Germany. My plan now is to catch up with work before I go on vacation on the 17th (I now wish I hadn't took the tickets so early).

Regrettably, I've yet to finish some of the models from July. I'll be launching a poll with your suggestions tomorrow for September. The goal is to finalize it as quickly as possible, allowing me to pour my effort into these models over the coming days.

I've also been reflecting on the direction of both Tribes and Patreon from November on. I'm balancing a lot of work outside of these platforms, yet nothing compares to the joy I find in crafting these models. I'm not naturally inclined toward the management/marketing aspect—it doesn't come easily to me. However, I truly love the modelling part, especially when I receive your feedback. If it weren't for your comments, I doubt I'd have continued this far.

I've been contemplating a slower pace, maybe creating just a couple of models a month (fantasy + sci-fi), removing all the tiers, and starting over with two $1 tiers and a $2 tier. In addition, I'm considering reducing the price for the seller tiers. This approach would afford me more time to devote to each of the two models, enabling me to infuse them with insane detail, and to also improve my skills. It would give me some breathing space to work outside of Patreon and Tribes, which could help me better weather unexpected situations, like my recent tablet mishap.

Please share your thoughts, I truly value your support. I'm convinced that focusing on enhancing the quality of my models, rather than producing them in high quantities, will be more beneficial. Giving up on this journey, which has brought me immense joy and connected me with the 3D printing community, isn't an option. I appreciate you all and hope that my thoughts are clear to you.

While I finish the models from July, I've shared with you the last model I did before my tablet died (Super girl - Woman of Tomorrow), the fox treasure hunter, and the set from July 2022 for everyone that suscribed to July and August. Again, thank you!

Here's the Dropbox link to July 2022 along side the Fox character and Super Girl statue (And the Legend models when I finish them). I'm on my way to share the files as well on MMF user groups right now.
