If you follow me on Twitter, you know that 2022 has been a very abnormal year for me. Even though I can typically only force myself to publish one new game per year due to my struggles with mental illness, I was somehow able to publish 4 new games in a row. After that, I created a new WIP Collection with a whopping amount of 15 WIP games. Fifteen! However, I had reached the peak of my mental health and it quickly went downhill from there; my mental illness took a steep nosedive for the worse, I hit burnout and suddenly found myself yet again unable to work on any of my games because I had suddenly lost the ability to write.

While desperately trying to brainstorm other possible sources of income besides the fundraiser, I turned to Hero Forge as a coping mechanism. Over the weekend, I literally spent over 12 hours a day in it and, even though I was still utterly disappointed in myself for still not being able to create anything new for my TTRPG, I was also relieved I was still capable of at least creating something. Then, someone saw the minis I was sharing on Discord and suggested something: taking commissions. And thus, this idea was born.

Commissions: Hero Forge TTRPG miniatures

You can see my full miniatures collection here, to get an idea of what to expect if you decide to commission a miniature.

You can order custom miniatures (made in Hero Forge) by reaching out to me on Discord. You should provide reference images of what the character looks like, as well as any specifics you want. After I get an idea of what you want, I will give you an estimate of what the total cost would be.

Basic minis (single character, basic clothing, basic pose, optional base elements) have a starting cost of €1. This cost includes a link to the mini,  a static PNG, and an animated GIF file.  Elaborate outfits or extra elements (extra base elements, pets, mounts/rides, additional characters, special effects, etc.) will increase the price of the commission. Minis are to be pre-paid via Paypal.

If you want the .STL file to print it at home or at a 3D printing store, you'll also have to pay for the cost charged by Hero Forge ($7.99 for minis with 1 model and $15.98 for minis with 2 models**). Files with rides are the same as a single model mini, with no additional cost. You can pay for the .STL file after you already have the mini, so that you don't have to decide whether or not you want to go ahead with the 3D printing before seeing the final result.

* Hero Forge doesn't allow you (for the time being) to have both 2 characters and a ride on the same mini so you can either add a ride or an extra character, not both.

** Bear in mind that Hero Forge charges the cost of 2 models ($15.98) for some of the more advanced minis (like this one) and I will charge you whatever it's charging me.

I'm not sure if anyone would even be interested in this, but it sounded like a fun way to get some tips. :)
