Not sure what dev this should be thrown at... so feel free to forward it to them and delete the post, or leave it... or whatever.
Also didn't know if it should go in suggestions or volunteer or here... since it's more of an offer but linked to raising funding...yay gray areas!
As some might know I am a sculptor. Not a digital sculptor (though I dabbled, just can't afford the programs to get good). I physically sculpt stuff.
The origin of my garage business is all thanks to CoH. It all started with a Mask of a CoH character... Juggertha.
Fast forward a few years. I have done several busts for players, run a decent mask business for cosplayers and generally enjoy my standings in the Deviant Art and cosplay communities.
This is what i want to do.......
So I am working on a bust of one of the Iconic NPC's.

My busts come out when finished at this quality

Now I plan on making a single casting of the character for myself just for the funsies of having it. I love her design.
What I can do is offer it to the community once finished. All profits from the sales being pushed into the kickstarter or flat out donated to avoid the "but steamtank that would increase your kickstarter pledge level you rascal you!"
I have 5+ years of customer comments in my DA showing I deliver whats promised. The reason I say all profits is because paint, resin, and shipping all cost me money. While I cannot donate any more than I have of my own money into the kickstarter (or I would be a higher donation tier).... I would be happy to turn over all the profits from bust sales on CoT iconic characters.
Another possible idea,
You can tap me for a kickstarter backer reward for whenever your next campaign sets off. All i would require are material + shipping costs as I would donate my time to sculpt up the reward projects.
Something along the lines of "Have a bust of your hero sculpted and shipped to you" set at one of the higher reward tiers due to the sheer man hours each sculpt takes me. Which at a later campaign (say post the avatar apps) would give me quality reference.
Or just say "No thanks Steamtank, you be cray"
