I've discovered a new resource called hero forge minis. It's a website that helps you create digital models of fantasy characters and even print them out into tiny little mini figures. It's a great service and I've become quite addicted to it. It's so much fun to use this as an outlet of my creativity. Once I heard about this thing, I immediately used it to create my characters from the magic metal war books. I've considered selling these minifigures, but I've decided that they wouldn't be cost effective. So, for now I'll just give you guys some digital renderings to look at. I have considered creating merchandise centered around the magic metal war saga but at this moment I don't think there would be much demand for it. On a much deeper level I believe that playing with toys growing up was a fundamental basis of how I became a fantasy writer. When I was a kid, I played with legos, nerf blasters, and transformers. When I played like that it gave me the ability to comprehend characters and stories in a much more elastic way than anything else I think back on. So, here's a link to my glorious hero forge creations on twitter I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed digitally designing them.
