Artisan Guild: Raise your Hammer in April 2024

Raise your Hammer in April 2024

Greetings, Adventurers, Merchants, and dear Collectors!
Andrea here, sculptor and ceo at Artisan Guild!

I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits. It’s with great excitement and a touch of personal sentiment that I share some news with you all.

We’ve finally reached our monthly goal – the latest batch of 3D printable miniatures has been completed! I couldn’t be more eager to present to you the trailer for the minis that will be gracing your tabletops in the coming weeks.

As we step into April, a month close that marks my 35th birthday, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to delve deeper into one of my favorite fantasy races – the dwarves. Specifically, I’ve decided to expand the dwarves of Mundus with my favorite vocation/class: the berserker.

The raw strength, primal fury, and unwavering resolve of the dwarven berserkers have long captivated my imagination. It’s a theme that resonates deeply with me and inspires my creativity – be it writing, drawing, or sculpting.

For years, I’ve yearned to sculpt this particular theme, but I often felt that my skills weren’t quite up to the task.
However, this year, I made a conscious decision to push myself beyond my perceived limitations, and I’m incredibly proud of the result. In just a month’s time, I’ve crafted a faction of dwarven berserkers that I can’t wait to share with you all.

On a more personal note, I must acknowledge the challenges I’ve been facing recently. The noisy environment in which I currently reside and where i built Artisan Guild Studios (and my home) has made it incredibly difficult to focus and concentrate on my work. Sleep and working has become a luxury in any hour of the day or night, as constant barrage of noise and loud barks during the night here in Los Llanos (La Palma in Canary Islands) has taken its toll on my well-being.
I’m doing my best to address the situation legally, but it’s been a trying journey.
I appreciate your patience and understanding during this time, I apology to be so late on presenting the trailer and for my absence in the community. I assure you that I’m doing everything in my power to overcome this (hopefully temporary) obstacles, as I must use the very few time and energy I have to continue sculpting.

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to my dear friends at Wind Rose, particularly Federico, Francesco and Claudio. Their epic music has been a source of immense inspiration for me, and I’m incredibly grateful for their generosity in allowing me to use their track „Fellows of the Hammer“ in this trailer. This song perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the month, as our dwarven heroes set out to reclaim Goldvein from the clutches of the dreaded Frostheart Linnorm.

About the Linnorm, in April I’d love you to be able to print the Great Linnorm of Frostheart, for this reason I decied to have this mini as Throwback miniature in the month (in any tier), so please remember to not buy it now since it will be free for our subscribers next month 🙂

Thank you all for your unwavering support and encouragement. Together, we’ll continue to embark on thrilling adventures and bring our shared visions to life.

Until next time, may your dice be ever in your favor!

Warm regards,

Andrea
