I spent the week starting/finishing 4.5 Adventure Cats minis for the talented @thekawna.bsky.social because I make bad scheduling decisions, but we got some hella delightful cats out of it. LOOK AT THEM! LOOK! You can get these and more via linktr.ee/thekawna and www.kawnaminis.com/product-page...!

An absolutely colorful and delightful set of miniatures depicting cats, who are also pirates. And ghosts. And merfolk. They're good cats, brent.

The 4.5 minis I bum-rushed this week. 2 alley cats! 2 purrgles/mer-cats! 1 ghostie!!!

The minis on the table looking FUNKY FRESH!

In defense of blurry, some of my favorite photos are blurry!

Speaking of AI! Meta literally just told us that not only are they thieving bastards, they're bastards using our work to clone us! Got instagram? Disable these settings under "share and reuse" Im SuRE iT wOrkS Enshittification is now "overactive hostility", ruining things we've leaned on for years

Instagram claims its using AI to pretend to be you to other people

You have to opt out of letting it use your... spirit, really.

Funny thing about these... Ron reached out and asked if I could paint for DDRPG I thought about it and realized I hadn't done anything like that since college, Pre-Reaper "How'd you know I digitally paint?" "I didn't. But now I do! So git'er done!" Ah, my beloved @reaperminiatures.bsky.social...

Yooo! I don't have a copy, but I did burst in like the kool aid man like I do with everything I think I have art credits too... somewhere I mimicked Gene Van Horne's already-done crests, but two of them were concepted by Izzy So I mimicked a draw in a mimicked style to make a thing. Artception.

Two worn signs, one depicting a white, red, and blue star. The white star is in a knotted loop

The other sign has a gray goose with a dandelion in its mouth

A series of crests for towns in Reaper's DDRPG setting

AI is stinky and unnecessary. Enjoy this t-shirt design I made for an playwright group a friend of mine is in!

Fully finished golden and purple emblem of a crow with a theatre mask in the background. A ribbon wraps around the design and contains old fashioned lettering saying "King of Crows 13"

The sketch is more fleshed out as white on a black shirt, but the lines are still very loose and rough

In this step, the design is now clean, but uncolored. The gold effects are applied next

Aaaaa thank you!!! I'm really pleased with her!!!

The team at @reaperminiatures.bsky.social really knocked it out of the park with the whole lineup. Kudos to @maxdunbar.bsky.social (concept) and Guzel Baiguskarova (sculpt) for being a fearsome duo once again. The other 3 witches will be painted by 3 other extremely talented ladies! Stay tuned!!

Fingers hold the model from the previous post.

A top view of the tiefling. Her pearlescent hair really shines.

And illustration of the original illustration, created by Max Dunbar. It looks like there were a few versions and heck if I know which one was the final...

Cara Curley@idrawcaralines· Jul 8

Going to #ReaperCon2026?! YOU SHOULD! Because that's where you can get ROWAN HAWTHORNE, the leader of the BLOODWEAVERS faction + her exclusive background! ...It takes a lot of time to make the backgrounds so they're doing a limited run. Please dote upon her as she deserves.

A painted miniature depicting a strikingly white tiefling with pearlescent skin, flanked by 3 imp-like bat creatures and standing in a bronze and stone blood fountain. Her dress appears like she's rising up out of the pool. She clutches a bejeweled bowl with gold trim, filled with... um.... raspberry juice.

A penny is next to the display for comparison. It is about 2 and a half pennies tall. The penny looks a bit stanky, and is from 1983.

This image shows how the blood witch separates from her base. You get a better look at the blood waterfall she obscures when on the display.

The full background sans witch, from a slightly above 3/4s angle. You can see details in the blood pools and non metallic metal.

HEY GUESS WHAT IT'S MILKBEARD FROM @thekawna.bsky.social'S CAT-A-COMB CURSE!!!!! HIS CREW THINKS HE IS A GOOD EGG AND SO DO I #minipainting #ttrpg

A miniature depicting a big fluffy black male cat with a big ol beard. He's got white eyebrows and white tips on his beard and mustache. He wears a big green coat with cat head-shaped gold buttons. He has a peg leg that has a small gold metal paw at the end. He carries a big cutlass. He has a big black hat with a bright yellow feather, blue tunic with a red sash belt, a leather belt with a gold buckle in the shape of a cat head, and leather boots showing the end of his paw at the tip. The base says "milkbeard" but the painter hasn't picked a color to make the name yet.

Side view of the miniature, favoring his back and mostly showing the coat

The back of the minI WHICH I *DID* PAINT!!!! TAKE THAT, DAVID DIAMONDSTONE!!!!

And on the second day, she dropped another cat before vanishing into the void again. Furwick is part of the Cat-a-Comb Curse! module by @thekawna.bsky.social

A miniature of a gray anthropomorphic cat dressed in browns and blues, with an open leather vest and a necklace featuring a big, shiny blue jewel

This angle is front facing and tilted in the opposite direction. You get a better view of his staff, the end of which looks like a golden ball of yarn.

The back, featuring geometric patterns cut into the leather and a big fluffy tail

Going to #Adepticon? Not #bossbabe enough to snag anything from Golden Demon? You're still a champion in our hearts. Find me at Reaper's Paint-and-Take (Booth 1000) to earn yourself a token of our love. (I can't believe they let me get away with this)

Cara Curley@idrawcaralines· Mar 24

Sorting which @reaperminiatures.bsky.social Remastered paints were to join me at #Adepticon was a very difficult choice indeed.

Cara Curley@idrawcaralines· Mar 24

Reaper's upgraded paint line Kickstarter launches today! I tested the entire line, and I'm pretty jazzed! Jazzed enough that I made this poster for the @reaperminiatures.bsky.social #Adepticon booth. Is it off brand? Yes! Will it grab attention? Also yes! www.kickstarter.com/profile/reap...

A color poster with rainbow lines telling people that the new reaper paint line has great color, great color, and is smooth A F. (As a matter of FACT!) It says if you want them first, the Kickstarter backers will get em

Spell illustrations I coughed up for Wizard Turf War! I thiiiiink I wrapped my end of [all the things] today.... Chaotic stupid isn't an alignment. It's a ✨️lifestyle✨️. (Done for @thed20speakeasy.bsky.social.)

Text says "summon distraction". 3 goblins stand stacked on each other, butt naked, top one with a stolen wizard hat.

Text says "Skeletal armor". A skeleton does the NOOOOOOOOOOOO dive in front of a wizard to protect him from a fireball

Text says "phrynosoma surprise". Blood sputters out of a mischievous and gleeful looking dragonborn's eyes into a disgusted elf

A limp elf is gently lifted by his pondering orbs by faeries.

Here's one

I don't think this is what @thed20speakeasy.bsky.social envisioned for this spell, but it's what he got.

And @thenoobpainter.bsky.social also gave Juniper a whirl!

Here's a go at Mags by my arch-nemesis, @thenoobpainter.bsky.social !

I also keep a happy little folder of paint jobs on my phone to give me a smile when needed. These lovely renditions of Brunhilde and Juniper are by @dorkmachinations.bsky.social !
