An image except from the linked piece of fiction, about how Animaniacs will not make sense to the children, it will make the world make sense to them later.

Holy shit, in MtG middle earth, Eowyn is Black and Goldberry is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. I fucking love these. No wonder Tom Bombadil is such a merry fellow.

Black Eowyn with blonde dreads beheading a fell beast.

Goldberry but she's thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. She is VERY pretty and one understands why Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow.

Weird porous texture I made by mixing never-dry play sand mixed with thinned PVA glue. I can expand on the method if anyone needs their minis standing in pumice or something.

A set of three miniature bases with weird porous texture, in different test colors.

But if you cannot get the thing you really want (potential romantic or sexual partners signaling that you are attractive, and thus have value) then you take what you can get (I can at least measure my own Gains and take some pride on that basis.)

The exchange in one of the recent Spider-Man movies where Peter tells MJ she looks really pretty, and she responds "And therefore, I have value?"

But she's messing with him, it's fine. She reassures him that he looks pretty too.

Last miniatures I will be finishing this month. Gandalf, obviously, for MESBG. Plus four Quar teenagers dressed up for a costume party, and the mysterious, murderous alien hunting them.

A set of six 25mm miniatures. The Quar are vaguely anteater-ish aliens dressed up like fantasy adventurers. Red Raine is like if Jason Voorhees was a hot girl. Gandalf is Gandalf.

RPGnet, the finest webforum in all the land, has a new mascot. Behold! The Porkon Cow.

A creature that appears to be a cheerful pig, but upside down. It has a large rack of antlers extending downward from its head, which it uses as long and spindly legs.

It appears surreal but nonthreatening.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· 19d

Work in Progress. Quar teenagers dressed up for a costume party.

Four 25mm Quar miniatures. A ranger, a thief, a wizard, a barbarian. Mostly but not fully painted.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· 24d

This is one of those horror movie villains where the real monsterfuckers think you don't even count. Like, still too conventionally attractive.

Jessica Chastain hiding under the table from Other Mommy. She's got at least one extra limb and she's all contorted, but it's still basically an attractive woman.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· 25d

WiP. The four Quar teenagers going to an innocent costume party, and the mysterious, murderous alien that hunts them. Her hair is coming out looking more like Kurono from Chrono Trigger than I intended. I may have to go back and revisit it.

5 25mm miniatures in a state of partial paintedness. Four Quar in fantasy adventurer costumes, and Red Raine, an old Hasslefree miniature. She's like a hot girl take on Jason from Friday the 13th.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· 26d

Gandalf the Grey for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game.

A 25mm miniature of the world's most famous wizard.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jul 6

I'm calling these guys done and ready for varnish.

Ten gretchin miniatures from the Armageddon box. Fully painted, Bad Moons color scheme.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jul 2

I finally finished these guys all the way. Took forever, but they do look good IMO.

Three armored warriors of nurgle miniatures from the Darkwater game. They're weird, gross, and mutated, with their bases done as pools of bright green water.

Rear view of one of the main boss monster miniatures. His insectile wings are done in shifting rainbow hues.

Two of the main boss monsters of this set. They're large, obese, muscular guys, with horns and other unnatural deformations of their bodies, armored in green.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jun 28

Purple Girl is done and I'm happy with. Temu Willow I am not so happy with, but declaring her done anyway.

Nightmare Witch miniature from Silver Bayonet. Clothes in shades of purple.

Hasslefree did a knockoff miniature of Willow from Buffy. Paint job just didn't quite gel.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jun 26

I got the effect I was going for here.

The rear view of a Darkwater miniature. He has large wings like a fly. I have painted them in an iridescent rainbow scheme.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jun 18

Grendel vs The Shadow was completely sick. Honestly all of Wagner's Shadow books were great, and Alex Ross's covers for Wagner's Shadow books were the best comics covers I have ever seen.

Cover for an issue of Grendel vs The Shadow.

Prototype space cactus terrain. Making this was educational.

A pair of Space Cactus miniature terrain objects. These are classic terrain because you can make them out of junk. They're a large Styrofoam ball with several smaller balls on them at odd angles, and toothpicks for spines. You glue sand to them for texture and then paint bright colors.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jun 7

Skin tone practice

One of the miniatures from Darkwater, with a big beefy diseased arm. I've put a lot of time into the skin and everything else on him is pretty basic.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Jun 6

Share a horror movie that isn't talked about enough.

Poster for the film My Bloody Valentine.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 28

About once a month I randomly think about this post and just have an overwhelming rush of feelings.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 25

So, mini painting this last weekend: I have finished the Pestigors for Darkwater. I didn't like painting them and they aren't good. But they are done and that gets me closer to playing the game! Second image is my various Hasslefree minis for Frostgrave. I love them.

8 Pestigors for the board game Darkwater. They're diseased beastmen with shields and melee weapons.

A selection of unusual character miniatures from Hasslefree. They're relatively small scale by modern standards but have a lot of personality. They're all on snowy bases with frosty blue-white tufts.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 17

I'm not going to claim she's good, but I do love her.

Miniature of a girl in a unicorn onesie holding a giant wrench, probably as a weapon. The onesie is painted in a really eye searing hot pink and turquoise.

Rear view of the same mini. Shows off her cute little backpack - she looks like a rave kid from the late 90s or early aughts.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 17

In a rare burst of indolence, Biollante, the tiny tabby terror, held still long enough to be photographed while awake.

My very smol but adult tabby cat is sitting in my chest in bed. She's extremely alert. Ears up, eyes wide. She's staring out of frame as though contemplating her campaign for chaos.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 16

Hear me out, sibs.

Mia from the Evil Dead remake, after turning deadite, grinning out from under the chained-closed trapdoor.

Famous painting of Lenin addressing the crowd. Big caption on top "Me telling the local junkies about all the precious metals that can be found in a data center."

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 9

Terrain for MESBG. I think it's actually done.

A set of rock formations on hex bases. The bases are covered in flock and basing mix. Also a large stone head from a shattered statue.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 9

I think this girl is 95% done. The only thing left is that her boots are actually wedges, and I need to pick those out in a brighter color so they show up and look fun. And I just don't have the precision for that in me right now.

Miniature of a woman in a turquoise bodysuit and orange trench coat. She has guns in matching colors - one metallic turquoise and one metallic orange.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 5

WiP on some terrain for MESBG. I don't have much experience with painting naturalistic terrain, so I am pretty happy with these. Like you can see layer lines, but it's still better than what I could realistically cut out of foam.

Miniature terrain of various jagged or tall rock formations, painted in shades of cool and warm grays, with a lot of greens implying moss or lichen. There's one 25mm miniature of a woman with a sword for scale. One piece of terrain is the giant broken head of a fallen statue, which towers over her.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 5

So, Vampire Marines get Celerity now. Truly, 11th is shaping up to be Best Warhammer.🧐

The Wyzard @thewyzard· May 3

Another low key Hasslefree mini painted.

A miniature of a woman with light red hair, pale skin, and a green dress. She's about to draw a sword.

The Wyzard @thewyzard· Apr 25

I'm calling these done for now. I kinda want to make the roof more terra cotta, but I don't feel confident about mixing up such a color right now, and I don't have paint that color.
