Time to introduce

MALTIQUE, the Auromancer!

A proud moment for Creature Caster and this Community

Creature Caster worked with Michelle Farnsworth, a renowned miniature artist (and a member of the NOCF Consortium) who is battling metastatic breast cancer, to create this incredible model depicting her fight against this terrible disease. Taylor Holloway painted the model pictured above for the 2021 Fall Raffles.

The team at Creature Caster also created this tribute video of the project:

NOCF is no longer surprised at the compassion and generosity of this community; however, it goes without saying that Creature Caster's Maltique sets a new bar yet again.

Consider buying this model. She goes on sale tomorrow at Creature Caster, with 50% of proceeds from every Maltique sold directed to BC Cancer Foundation (British Columbia) to support their good work.

Consider buying tickets in the Fall Raffle. Double down and order tickets to win Taylor's donated Maltique in the Fall Raffle, with 85% of those proceeds supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

"The opportunity to collaborate with Creature Caster on this model has meant the world to me. A big part of my healing process has been about my community.

I have made my diagnosis so public because I needed to share my story, my experiences, and my overall journey. If I have to go through this, I wanted someone to benefit. It’s not for no reason. Since my cancer moved from breast to brain, it has been hard. A terminal diagnosis is much more difficult to share on an emotional level.

This is where Creature Caster helped change my outlook. Collaborating on Maltique has given me a unique chance to share again. That’s actually what’s in the name M + unique = Maltique!

May her strength and fight continue on long after me!"
