I'm so so close to getting this kickstarter going - Last minute commerce god sacrifices happening over here.
I was trying to not overshare in case my friends were fatigued by my goblin posting, but look at these cool dudes. They are so cool!

ok, that went shockingly fast. I've added the frogs as an add on or reward that you can get separately.
Ok!! Last week of the kickstarter. I'm sure there is still one person that hasn't yet heard that im selling miniature goblins and frogs and a tshirt. Tell that person about this please :)

Haha, sculpting is magic
are you the (strangely rare?!?) intersection of:
- into 1980s performance art
- enjoy goblins
- can wear a white t-shirt
you may like this shirt I'm making of abramovic & ulay as goblins doing rest energy.

I cast and painted two sets of these 3 point magnet articulated toys. I think they look pretty cool! They are sent off for a show and tell, but I'll have them up on my shop eventually.
Hi. I'm still looking for work! I'm a games generalist programmer that has done tons of different things over the past 15 years:
- game design & engine development
- audio programming for music games & board games
- graphics programming & tools engineering
- ui work
I've got a bit of a portfolio at http://jonathanbrodsky.com/
@DoctorSpork@dice.camp there was so much of your terrain on the tables this weekend at 3d roleplay con. I didn't take enough pics, but there were a couple more rogue trader / 2e tables.
My two customer personas:
- folks that collect and paint warhammer goblins
- folks that want a tshirt with classic 1980s classic performance art pieces redrawn as goblins
The total addressable market is massive, I can't lose.
Feeling very down, blasted out this sculpt in the last few days. Was originally planning on casting him, but he's sold already.

Goblins vs the Death Worm.
The goblin kickstarter is going awesome, there are now just two weeks left to get your pledge in. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonbro/smaller-pauls-goblin-archers/
Death Worm sculpt is by my buddy https://www.instagram.com/eelheelstudio
I feel like there is enough here to go on maybe? Im gonna chop it up and rework the head and hips to make them more amenable to articulation.
Gonna probably have to entirely rework the head, but sculpting heads is fun.

Just finished painting up this giant worm with a gun that my buddy sculpted. Part of my tiny little blood angels crew.
watching @boggo@mastodon.gamedev.place 's developement of fluff timelapse video is so cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-ImyNYRm44
makes me want to get back to writing one of these splat based renderers.

@casy@oulipo.social no, separate unfortunately. At some point I'm gonna sculpt like 50 frogs tho, and there will be a massive pile of frogs to buy.

@davidhmccoy @NanoRaptor she is very big. Probably a bit on us because we love to give her treats.

@erikcats I think I found a solution for fulfillment within the EU as well! Which should significantly smooth the customs and vat collection too :)
And yeah, I hope eventually the us catches up, but ... It always feels like there is more barrel to scrape here.
Replying to
@erikcats thats so frustrating!!!
so, the best number that I can come up with is that you will only get hit with VAT (via https://www.easyship.com/duties-and-taxes-calculator/netherlands?category=toys&value=40¤cy=USD) - so, 21% of the cost of goods + shipping. shipping to NL is 14 USD or less depending on the courier I use. VAT should get collected via the kickstarter pledge manager rather than via the courier.
this is so annoying though :( buying stuff internationally is really fraught right now, especially from small biz :(
Replying to
@cameron ah! The reason I'm doing this Kickstarter is because I want them to be professionally cast instead of my normal basement casting. It's kinda the same process I use at home: high temp vulcanized molds, then spin casting. However I normally gravity cast at home and have been building a spin casting rig.
Sculpting process is all by hand using greenstuff epoxy. I'll make sure to put in more stuff about this in the marketing copy. I wish I took more process photos tho.

@casy its fuckin good right?!? he's got a whole set of them, and a zine with the background lore - this is the only one with a gun though, so I had to paint it first.

@ajroach42 cwpress is the shit! I've managed to keep a couple of mugs from them going strong for years now.

@TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah, movement is the solution to so many physical problems. Gotta be careful when adding it though.

@erikcats ok, I looked into it a bit more. It looks like I can do shipping to the UK for ~12 dollars, then the uk import / customs tax is another 12 dollars (this is percentage based and flexes depending on the size of the order). I'm planning on doing this with the buying paying on delivery, unless someone tells me this is bad in the meantime.
Replying to
@erikcats I really hope not. I don't know what the current tariff situation is - I'll look into it this weekend. I know that at least shipping isn't too bad, somewhere around 18 dollars.
Also, if you like the bonus frogs ... There maybe some more frogs available :)

@c_reider I should draw a goblin getting shot. Or possibly a goblin dropping I beams into concrete. Both are good.
Tho I do think Paul McCarthy might be a more natural goblin fit.
oh nice, someones done it already https://www.printables.com/model/1318986-d6-dice-with-rounded-corners-concrete-mold/files
Maybe my anti computer art position has gone too far.
Mariners are really marinering tonight dang.
