Hi everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have seen, since July last year I’ve been working closely with Anton and Kim at Flytrap Digital and Dan at Desk-Ops on the Gunslinger 2030 range (if you haven’t I have some questions about my engagement numbers). This range has been a fantastic opportunity to get on the other side of the table from usual impression pieces and be the one helping to make them go from concept to real physical objects I’ve painted. In the seven months we have been doing Gunslinger, we released over 71 figures, 50 unique heads across 5 factions in the specially created setting, all while never missing a deadline and always providing the end customer with a product we were all happy to release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, all good things must eventually come to an end. With the start of a new year, I decided to sit back and think about what I actually wanted to do with my hobby time. ChargeBlog, Gunslinger and putting figures on the table are all in addition to the day job so it’s a case of maximising fulfilment and enjoyment in the free time I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is for this reason that, as of this post’s release, I am stepping back from Gunslinger. It’s been a great run that’s ending on mutual understanding with all involved. I’m seriously proud of the figures we’ve released and the words I got to write about this setting and also I’ve learnt a lot of lessons behind the scenes, giving me a lot to think about for the future and how I think about this market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for the Gunslinger 2030 range and the world of Gunslinger 2030, it’s all now in the careful hands of Flytrap Digital. The release order of the next two packs on the Patreon <\/a>will be switched around (with Contiki’s Team Arachnid releasing this month and Kojoti’s urban specialists Team Zorya arriving in March) but after that, the forward direction of the project will be entirely in Anton’s hands – I look forward to seeing where it goes next. As part of this, the Gunslinger 2030 Facebook<\/a> and Instagram <\/a>will be going into hibernation and pointing people to Flytrap’s social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the currently released figures will continue to be available via Flytrap Digital’s MyMiniFactory<\/a> and in Print on Demand from Desk-Ops.De<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before I wrap, I do have to say a massive thank you to Anton and Kim for inviting me to come on board with this wild journey. It’s been just under a year since I received that first invite to come to York for a drink and since then I’ve felt I’ve been able to step up my game across multiple facets of what I do gaining more confidence in my skillset thanks to having shown it off to more people. As I’ve said before, this opportunity was unique, a chance to help steer a brand new range and sit behind the sculptor as he got to work making them. I genuinely hope for the best for you both in everything Flytrap in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you also to Dan from Desk-Ops for coming along for the ride and getting the releases ready for prime time with great support work and error checking. You were a great help in bringing up the technical level of the figures involved, spotting issues that would have caused a problem with printing so we could sort them out easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As for what I personally will be doing next, this isn’t the post to say it in. Let’s just say I’ve been reading a lot of my own writing I was doing just before August 2022 about a land far away and the creative vibes are returning to really dig in deep on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
