Hey guys! I'm SO sorry about the delay on this months release. After ReaperCon the first week of the month I was completely spent. I've been playing catch up on commissions and concept art and all the things. All that said, here is the preview of the release. We've created a whole pack of water elementals including one massive titan water elemental. Big monsters are a design challenge for me but I'm really happy with how he came out and I hope to tackle lots more big monsters in the future.

I'm getting test prints off the printer this morning and I'll be getting edits done today and they are off for supports. Thank you for hanging in there with me. I've got lots of big plans for the coming months and I'll be posting art for that soon as well. Happy official start of Autumn!

We're excited to announce the winner of our online painting competition @PipTarou!!

Excellent color complexity throughout the model, just really well done! Thank you to all who entered this year, it's always inspiring seeing your creativity!

Expand

Hey there adventurers! This months release should be supported and out to you in a day or two but I wanted to share some previews of the characters we developed for this month.

The Wardens are a secret society dedicated to safeguarding powerful magical artifacts scattered across the Moonlight Seas. Their mission is to prevent these artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, as the consequences of such power being misused could be catastrophic.

Here's some WIP pics of a few characters we've been working on for next months release. The Nixls are an amphibious race of scavenger creatures known for their agility and resourcefulness. Nixls form tight knit tribes that can be found dotted along the southern coast of Centra and around Coralheim. Generally peaceful and unthreatening creatures they are ill-suited to defending themselves from their new found threats.

Sharing my mood boards for next months release. The story takes us to a small Nixl tribe led by a woman who was shipwrecked as a child and taken in.

You might remember the Nixls from our old character Findler from the Coralheim set. This will be an exploration of his people and the threats they face in their coastal home.

Thank you for sharing this magical Advent-ure with me, I hope it's been fun. I apologize for not posting yesterday but it was a very packed day and I was exhausted. I'd like to take some time to look back at the year and reflect on all we've accomplished together.

We started the year with the big decision to switch from 3 models to 6 models per month. We've written 3 new adventure modules and added over 70 models to the Moonlight Minis line! We launched the Lunette Book Club with 7 unique book box collections and officially began selling Moonlight Minis in two retail shops.

We had a blast teaching and connecting with fans at ReaperCon this year. There were a total of 52 Moonlight Minis entries in the MSP Open! We awarded Gold/Silver/Bronze and our Moonlight Spotlight Awards at the MSP Open ceremony as well as our first ever Youth Award. We created and gave away Moonlight Minis Challenge Coins to all the entrants and doubled our booth success from last year!

We set up our own online shop this year, shipped 100 Etsy orders, and grew our Tribe! We have had a truly wonderful year and are so grateful to all of you, the Moonlight Minis fans, for fostering such an inspiring and supportive community! Thank you so much. From our home to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Good morning everyone! It's day 7 of our 12 days of Christmas Advent-ure and today's surprise is a free Christmas Lunette.....at least that was the idea. Apparently MMF won't let us set it to completely free as they still take a 10% cut so she still costs $0.40 with the code: LUNETTENICELIST I know most of you probably already have this one but if not, it's a great opportunity to pick it up and paint it for the holidays or give as a gift. We hope you've been enjoying the event and apologize for the confusion.

I've been working on some concept art for Ursa, our frost elf from the Gemini bloodline. I've been debating several hairstyle options. Here's her character description:

Ursa- A bard character of the house of Gemini. A social butterfly and excellent conversationalist. She’s incredibly adaptive and flexible to changing situations. She has an insatiable curiosity and a precocious mind. She flits from one interest to another with rapid shifts. She lacks follow through and is probably the least dependable of the group. There’s a youthful vibrancy to her personality that is magnetic and her combination of wit and charm often get her out of sticky situations.

What's your favorite Ursa look?

Expand

We've just about wrapped up all the edits, final test prints are being run as we speak. As requested we will also be offering the raptor without Jabu and the saddle as a separate model for you guys. We're already working on next months Frost Elf set and I'll be posting some moodboards and concept art about that soon!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry this month's set is running late. We're getting test prints of the whole set off the printer this morning and I'll be churning through edits as quickly as possible to get these out to you. I want to make sure that we're always producing the highest quality product we can and I hope that this month's release will be new and exciting for you all.

Here's a WIP of the current set, we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback as we get this edited and finalized for production!

Most of you know I've been in the middle of a move, which has been a big deal for us. On top of the move, there were multiple surprise repairs needed for our new home.

I got a space carved out to work as soon as I could, and got to cranking out this months release. I haven't had much time for updates, or Streaming, or discord. That should be back to normal this month.

In the Moonlight Seas, players cannot play fey, or fey decendants. This creates a gap in the races for anyone who wants to play a Genasi. Our answer to that, are the Djinnasi. Descendents of ancient and magical Djinn, these characters are imbued with the ability to harness elemental magic! Here are the models for the first entries to this race. I can't wait to see how you paint them up!

Supported versions will be up soon, I'll post when they are.

A bit late, but the release is finally finished! I'm very proud of these models, I hope you love them. I'll be showing off what I'm starting on for next month in a few days.

In the mean time, the unsupported models are up, and the supported ones should be available sometime between now and monday (Thank you so much Atlas for your speed on this).

here are the renders for them.

We have had a house of sick people this week, and it has cost me a couple hours of time. I'm going to bed, but I will wrap this up in the morning. Here are some of the renders for this month. I can't wait to see people paint them up! Which model are you most excited for?

A quick update on Aprils Release.

I am a few days behind getting these modles out. There were more revisions than I was hoping for, and scaling up the mini count this year is something I'm still adjusting to.

Thanks for sticking with me. They should be up in a few days (by the 5th), and supported a few days later.

Here are some sneak peaks of what is coming. Remember, these are not finalized. I'm on version 7 & 8 of these, but almost finished.

There is one more model that isn't previewed here as well. We worked on her on stream some.

Expand

You can find the module that accompanies this months release here:

For those new to the tribe, we do color guides each month for our models, for reaper paints. We also have painting videos coming soon!

Expand

February's release is here! The module is completed, and in editing. If you would like a copy of the draft, just let me know. Otherwise, it should be available some time this week!

Expand

Next months release is all finished up, and ready to go. the bonus models for next month are also done by me. I hope you like them!

Expand

Happy Lunar New Year Tribe! We are celebrating the Year of the Rabbit with a brand new variant version of Thea! The rabbit in Chinese mythos has strong ties to the moon and lunar themes. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to add to the festivities this year.

If you already purchased Thea from her original release last year, simply go to her listing in the shop and download the new variant version free of charge! If you are part of the Tribe and want to purchase her, remember to use your 40% off code for January! As we begin this new year we wish you all health, wealth, and much success in all you do!

Expand

Most of my work is conceived months before implementation. I look for and store ideas for future projects all year long. The ones that seem the best to me, I put forward here.

Some of my settings I want to overhaul after the first release, and some I want to add to. Which of the settings are you most interested in seeing growth for?

Expand

Lots of exciting changes coming this year to the tribe. I'm going to go over them a bit here!

First, this months release is available, supported and unsupported. My goal is to have everything available on the first from now on. It's a lofty goal, and I may fall short on occasion, but that's the goal and I'm aiming for it.

Next, My husband saw the idea on another tribe to offer a free "throwback" model, and we loved the idea. Starting this month, you will get a free throwback model. Something popular from the existing library.

There is more though. My husband did a couple test runs of writing a module for the monthly release last year. We are hoping to have that become a regular additon to the tribe. We can't promise it every month, but you will see more of them.

Better sales! As a triber you get 30% off the store all the time. In addition to that, we will participate in the fall and winter sales. I'm going to offer a bigger discount to tribers during those events than we offer to non-tribers.

More posts! I'm always reluctant to post on the tribe, because it spams everyones email and MMF does not currently offer a way for me to avoid that. They tell me they are working on resolving that. As soon as they do, you can expect more posts from me. In the mean time, you can keep up with all the discusson on discord, where we are both afforded more control over how we want to notify / be notified about content.

Thank you everyone who has been a part of my growth this year. There is even more new stuff coming, stick around to see some of the cool things we have planned to unveil this year!

Expand

The PDF for the October release has been updated, and uploaded to our own server. It proved problematic to release a PDF through MMF, so for now, you can get it in both places. The PDF is FREE!

Here is a link to the free PDF on our server. https://www.moonlightminis.com/imgs/Cornelia_Adventure.pdf

Please note that these models are not part of this months release. This is a fix for a previous release.

Expand

The unsupported version of the inuit dwarves are now available! Supported version should be available in the next few days, as will the bonus model. Stay tuned!

Expand

Inuit Dwarves

I'm making a couple final tweaks to this months release. Here is a pic of where I'm at on all of them. Nothing too major from here, just making them easier to support, and a couple minor design tweaks.&tab;

Here is a render of them. If all goes well, these will be vailable and in your tribes folder by monday morning! Supported versions will be a few days later.

Expand

This month brings us the bonus set of Widget and Beep Boop! These models are extras, as part of my art exchange with Codex Universalis. Normally we both release the models individually, and then they revert to the creators property. This time we agreed that we both have the rights to both models, and to give them as a set to our supporters. They are too tied to split them up.

In other news, the great folks at Atlas have finished up the supported versions of the models this month. They are available in your library if you are a triber!

Expand

We wanted to apologize for the delay in this months release. These figures needed a few more iterations than anticipated but we are very happy with the final results and we hope you will be too!

This month we're introducing a new race, Owlkin! Grimmbridge is a very pristigious university located in Embermoore's biggest city, Witherburg. This is where you'd find Professor Oswald, giving one of his extended lectures or grading the stacks of papers on his desk.

Ragana is a highly respected arch druid and can often be found in the schools conservatory, caring to her many exotic specimans. She has little tolerance for foolish behaviour, as many a student has learned the hard way.

Twyla has earned respect in very different circles. The thieves guilds of Witherburg have a heirarchy all their own. Though she has a reputation for being a ruthless cutthroat, Twyla may have some charitable secrets behind that cold exterior. Bonus Collab: This month we've done a bonus collaboration with Codex Universalis for you guys! Christine designed the set and sculpted our fox character, Codex Universalis sculpted her mechanical companion. We hope these bonus models will make up for the delay, they will be available soon!

Expand

At times I have too many ideas i'm excited about to choose what to work on. Here are the top 4 ideas I have for Decembers release. I'll include a small write up and mood board for each, vote on your favorite and help me decide!

Frost Elves: Inspired by Imperial Russian aesthetics. These are elves who have made their home in the frozen north. Their sheer focus on survival and constant reality of death from the bitter cold environment have resulted in them straddling the line of death and life. They make exceptional healers or necromancers. Their skin can range from the pale warmth of sun touched snow to the soft blues and purples of the arctic sky. They are led by their monarchs, a King and Queen.

Inuit Dwarves: Inspired by the aesthetics of Mongolian and Siberian Indigenous peoples. These dwarves are superior hunters, trackers and builders. Traditional conifer armor is crafted from pinecone scales harvested from the massive trees of the Timberland. Their skills in carving wood and bone are evident in their impressive architecture and weaponry. Sleigh Team: An elite group of fighters who have always called the frozen north home. They are fiercely loyal, noble, and highly respected among the various peoples of Winterveil. They have devoted themselves to the peace and protection of it's people. They are currently led by Rudolph the Lightbringer. Christmas Carol: Following in the vein of last years release we could visit another Christmas classic. An interpretation of the ghosts of Christmas past/present/and yet to come with perhaps a bust of crotchety old Scrooge himself. Past: a beautiful candelabra inspired ghostly woman. Present: A boisterous and jolly green man type. Future: An ominous smokey reaper type figure.

Expand

This month we are doing something a bit different. These models will be available soon as modular models, to go with the 5e module that is designed to use this set!

It's getting proofed now, so look for that soon. The supported versions should also be available soon.

Expand

All of the models for this month are available, both supported and unsupported. I am already test printing Octobers stuff. Back on track next month! Next month we will have a 5e module for the release as well.

I appreciate everyone sticking with me while I recovered. I am proud of this months release, and I hope you find them worth the wait!

Expand

We don't have the supported versions back from atlas yet, and I'm making renovations to the sandman warlock, so he isn't in there yet. The supported versions will be up as soon as Atlas finishes them.

Hello Tribers! I sincerely apologize for the delay in our September release. With my hand injury, attending ReaperCon, and revisions to these models I am running a bit behind schedule. The *hopefully* last round of edits is currently on the test printer and will be off for official Atlas supports very soon. As a freebie, and totally not an apology bribe, I'll be including a bonus character! A plasmoid warlock named Morpheus. Here's some peeks at the official renders and WIP shots from my desk today. Thank you for all your patience and support. I have tons of fun stuff in store for you guys so thank you for sticking with me!

Thank you for the complement Motor City Ray! That's 100% the goal. Less models than the massive crate you get with some Tribes or other subscription services. But several models with MUCH more time invested in them to make them as awesome as I can.

Expand

Wrapping up these first two mermaids this morning and sending them off for supports. Having lots of fun creating these story driven pieces. Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful mothers out there inspiring and supporting us. <3

Expand

I got back late last night from the reaper launch event. I got some solid work on the mermaid done today.

Expand

Part of this months release is up, the mushroom twins. These were some models I have had saved for the right time to release them. This makes for an extra model this month, which I'm happy to add due to the slight delay getting the months release out for last month and this one.

I hope you have fun painting them!

The supported versions should be up later this week. The mermaids for mermay should be up later this week, and the supported versions should follow shortly thereafter.

Are any of you as excited for spelljammer as my husband is?

Expand

I have uploaded the unsupported versions of the mushroom twins. The supported versions should be up soon. I'm trucking away on the merfolk, and the unsupported versions should be up this week, followed shortly by the supported versions.

Thank you for your patience and support while I took care of reaper for their Kickstarter. I['m excited for what is coming for my tribe. Are any of you as excited for spelljammer as my husband is?

Expand

We wrapped up the concept sketches for our mermaid set for May on our Twitch stream today. We're focusing on versatile pieces with a lot of storytelling!

Expand

Printed up on the sonic mini 8k at 20um layer height, and then my husband zenithal primed them, adding a splash of pre color highlights / shadow in the process. If I ever had the time to paint a miniatutre these days, this is where I start.

Expand

Here is the turnaround video my husband made for this months core models release. I hope you like them!!!

Expand

I test print everything I sculpt, this month is no different.... though it is very late in the month to be posting them. Reaper has been keeping me very busy with the Reaper Bones 6 Kickstarter. If you haven't seen my work there and are interested, you should check it out. Almost the entire Briarwood expansion is mine, and you can get the entire set for $50. (They do not sell STLs.) If you saw me working on the fairy dragon on stream, that's where it is.

Anyway, here are this months physical models! I hope you love the Estrea theme, I think it will be a favorite of mine to develop!

Expand

If you do your own supports, they are live now. If you are waiting for the Atlas Supported versions, they should be live tomorrow!

Thank you everyone for your patience this month. I've been very occupied with the Reaper Miniatures Bones 6 kickstarter. Things should be back to normal next month!

Expand

We recently received our Phrozon Sonic 8K printer and decided to run a test print with Coralheim's archvillain Maritus! Pick him up in our Tribes bonus content this month!

Expand

Next month we will be exploring Estrea, Isle of the Dawn. This mysterious land in the East is home to a very powerful Druid Harefolk and two of her ancient earth guardians. Here is the concept art for the figures we will be working on for April!

Expand

All of the files for this month are live! There were quite a few edits this month, and I've been very busy with my work for Reaper Miniatures Bones 6. Rest assured I did not forget you guys! 3 edits later, and two passes back to Atlas, and now we are ready for you!

Lets see those pictures!

Expand

If you got the unbased files for this month, you may have noticed Guinevere's detached base was missing. I included that as a separate download so you don't have to redownload the whole set. Thank you for pointing out the missing file!

I'm also going to be modifing the Cheshire Cat to match the rest of the set base wise from last month.

Expand

It's literally freezing here, so the test prints didn't go through for me. So these are UNTESTED supported models. I'll post as soon as I get successful prints, for those of you that want to wait.

For those of you who want to help test them, feel free to download and print. Let us know how it goes! The printer is warming up now to try before tonight.

The articles cover different topics for each model. This month I spent a bit more time on formatting, I'm much happier with the result. Let me know what you'd like more of, and what you'd like less of.

You can find the articles in a zip file along side the files containing the models for the release. Here is the first page of the March hare article to give an idea of what's inside.

Expand

Tell me what you think. I plan to add turnarounds of physical prints to the mix next month. It doesn't seem to want to embed currently, I'm going to have to track down why. Here is the link for now.

Voting is currently going on for what the theme of next month's release will be. Instead of doing a written list I've put together some visual references in the form of mood boards to help you decide which you'd like to see more! These are just to get the mood/aesthetic that we'll be aiming for with the characters, not exact imagery in any way. Voting will take place in the Tribes Exclusive channel on the Discord. Simply click the checkmark emoji beneath the image you want to choose!

The choices are:

• Angels* - Inspired by winged dieties of love, like Eros/Cupid, these divine champions could be your next Aasimar character.

Camelot - Inspired by one of the most iconic love triangle stories in history, this set would include King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot!

Be sure to place your vote soon, poll will be closing at midnight January 9th CST.

Expand

Continuing the paint pallates, here is the Color Guide for the March Hare.

Expand

Show me your prints! Especially if you paint them. Feedback from painters on difficulty / ease of painting is appreciated.

There is a sizing issue with one model. The pre supported white rabbit with attached base is too big. The one with the separate base is fine. The unsupported ones are fine. I'm getting that fixed asap.

Expand

Here are the store renders for the base releases this month.

Expand

What do you think of this format?

Expand

This is the poll for the video in the previous post. Which turnaround render style do you prefer?

Expand

I'm testing different turnarounds that my husband is making for me. Which style do you like? Both? These are two of the models for January tribes.

Happy New year everyone! The supported version of the white rabbit is uploading (that's what you get for updating on new years eve!), everything else is ready for you to load your printer for the new year!

Merry Christmas from Lunette, Me, and my in person family.
