Probably
the first thing you'll see soon is some amazing painting from Wicked
Gaming Studios: they've told me the Chiraktis miniature is about
ready, and they're going to send pictures this weekend, hopefully.
The miniature was printed for them by Shapeways in a high-definition,
Black Acrylate plastic, and they are going through the process of
preparing it by cleaning it, priming it, and applying various coats
of paint. Even though I've given them artwork to reference, I'm
really excited to see what kind of artistic spin they will use to
bring the Chiraktis figure to life! If everything turns out ok,
they'll then proceed to working on the Krissethi figure I sent them.
I'll need to get a digital sculptor to refine a few of the remaining
3D models for the Black Acrylate plastic, though, because Shapeways
has indicated some areas of detail (that printed fine in other
materials) are a little too thin for the Black Acrylate. They are
very minor details, but it looks like I might need to have them
altered a little so they will print in this new, high-quality
plastic. Black Acrylate is favored by professional painters, so if
you want Solar Echoes miniatures, you won't need to use it unless you
are a real pro. I can't wait to see how Wicked Gaming Studios
maximizes the potential of the Solar Echoes 3D printed miniatures!
Tomorrow...what other things are in store for Solar Echoes in 2018?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
