Help me become a mini and Figurine Maker

Hello everyone, my name is Adler Romero, I am a freelance digital artist located in sunny southern California. 

I am here on GoFundMe to ask for your help to jump start my goal to start my own company for minis and figurine creation. Offering previous and new customers alike a one stop shop for quality minis and/or figures.



Ever since I was little I have always wanted to do something creative. I had some crazy ideas when I was younger but always knew art would be a part of my career. Eventually I went to school for Game Art & Design. Fast forward a year after graduating and I was working at a small architectual vizualization company and the hours became scarce. So I decided to leave and try to begin doing freelance for video games. Which is one of the many artistic passions I have in life. Unfortunately my portfolio wasn't up to standard for certain reasons, but one day out of the blue I caught a job doing Sculpts for a Table top RPG, called "Stars of Empire". It was a knew experience and instead of my digital creations staying in a digital world, they would end up being printed and were able to be held in someones hand. After that I was hooked!

Now it has almost been another year since that first jobs, but since then I have had many smaller contracts and some big ones too. I am growing as a mini and figurine sculptor, loving every last moment of everyday that I get to work on them. 

If you can't tell I am very passionate about this and really want to make my dreams come true, I am not one to sit and wait but one to jump at any opportunity I can get or be given to make my goals and dreams come true.

So who would be the small crack team that you would be helping out?

As I stated earlier I wanted to be a one stop shop for my customers and clients. But I wouldn't be alone in this adventure. I would have my beautiful and talent girlfriend Jessica Sacks helping me along the way with any painting of the models after they have been printed. She is an artist as well, with a degree in animation and strong backgroud with traditional art. We make one hell of a team!



To give you a little taste of what we have done previously digital or traditional here are some images and links.

Here are some images from one of my more recent projects I was a part of for a table top game called " Journey to the Overland " by Overland Games, LLC. The rest can be viewed on my website in the links below.

So what will your donations be helping me out with?

If we reach the goal with all of your donations it will get us:

1. The 3d printer we wish to buy (Form1 Printer) -

http://formlabs.com/

2. Resin to print the minis and figurines with.

3. Painting tools need for coloring minis and figurines.

4. Molding materials to expedite figure creation.

Any extra funds past the 4000 dollars would go to more materials and hardware needed to make productions easier and faster. Helping creating higher quality sculpts in less time :)

What would I like to give back to the Donors?

I can not do this with out all of your help so I would like to give something back to all who donate.

If I reach my goal of 4000 dollars I would like to create some prints for those who donate, depending on the amount donated it would get you a Collectible of some sort.

I also would like to be able to give out some prints for little to no cost at all. So I will be choose at random from the donors that give 10 dollars, a free print of your choosing.

Thank you all for stopping in and taking the time to read about my goals. Thank you for any donors, but if you can not donate please share, it would be greatly Appreciated. 

Have a wonderful day!! 

Adler Romero
