I'm a digital artist and super passionate about sculpting.
I've been into collecting, painting and sculpting tabletop figures since I was a kid as well as a massive fan of RPG's.
As the years went on I managed to turn my passion into a career. I got to work on projects such as LOTR, Marvel, Dc collectibles, Doctor Who toys, Moshi monsters as well as lots of other projects.
In more recent years I've been working for lots of well known tabletop and board game company's. Working on projects like Darksouls the board game the upcoming Kung fu panda game, as well as lots of other projects.
I've seen the blooming of the digital sculpting as well as 3d printing age and love it.
I now exclusively work as a digital sculptor creating sculpts designed for 3d printing.
Why am I doing a Patreon?
Doing a Patreon will allow me to spend more time producing sculpts directly for my audience as well as allowing me more direct interaction with my supporters.
I would like to see a future where artists and their fans can interact on a more personal level, and where people can 3dprint the figures from the artists they want to support, at home on the 3d printer of choosing.
As more goals are hit I will be able to dedicate more time to producing sculpts, additional poses and redesigns each month for you my supporters. So the more people who support me the more I will be able to sculpt each month and the bigger the benefit for all of my Patrons :)

Additional information on tiers:
The files provided are all for non commercial, personal use only and are not to be redistributed or used for financial gain.-the exception to this is the merchant tier please see below-
Merchant tier
The Merchant tier allows you to sell 3d prints of my sculpts for profit. This doesn't allow moulds to be made for mass production of casts. You can sell prints of any of the sculpts released via Patreon, Gumroad or that are on my website, www.duncanshadow.com. As long as you are signed up for this tier you can sell prints of my work, if at any time you want to stop you can just cancel your Patreon support. I reserve the right to remove supporters from this tier at my own discretion. Part of the agreement also includes that you will wheneven you're posting on your website, or on social media etc will credit me (Duncan Shadow Louca) as the sculptor and creator of the work. I would also appreciate it if from time to time you would post a link to my facebook or patreon page :)
And finally thank you
I want to thank you all for your support, patrons or casual browsers. It means the world to me that you would consider parting with some of your hard earned cash to help me do what I love, and sculpt for you guys.
If you can't afford to become a Patron then that's fine any support you can offer is gratefully received, whether in words of encouragement, sharing my social media pages, or sending me images of sculpts of mine you have printed.
Lots of thanks Duncan
