Liking how the Fomorian is turning out! Looks really fitting for the part.

Cool to see the battle reports from the game. It's also good to hear that you have enjoyed the testing process so far!
Designing a game is not easy, less so when one creates all the assets for it as well. Really, really cool!

Hi everyone, it's been a while. For quite some time, work has left me far too tired for any hobby time. Luckily, I had last week off from work. I sculpted this minotaur during that time.



Below is the process of sculpting it and more finished pictures including scale shots

Fantastic work! He's a wonderful mini. Love that little key round his neck. Super playable fun detail.

Thank you theCrowe I like your eye for detail. I didn't mention it in my post, but I sculpted the minotaur for the D&D adventure "Blue Alley". In that adventure, there is a minotaur with a silver key around his neck. I'll be sculpting or crafting all 27 monsters that can be fought in that adventure.

Also in that adventure is a mimic that is covering the entire ceiling of a two by four square room. It then drops down on the players and attacks. I started making this yesterday, and finished this morning. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I love sculpting with hot glue

great stuff. Love the roughly squared edges still holding on from the ceiling shape.

Reminds me of that popular Lionel Richie song. Oh what a feeling, when you're dropping from the ceiling. Bards get bonuses if they use that line!

@JoshInJapan: Thank you Josh! I had a lot of fun making it.
@theCrowe: Thank you In honor of you, I will be sure to give a lot of bonuses to any bard who thinks to sing that during that encounter
@KernelTerror: Thank you! I'm happy with how it's turning out.

Speaking of which, it's still WIP and not finished yet, but I started painting the mimic and like how it is looking.

Heh heh, thanks Gwyn.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but I have done some more painting of the mimic. I think it's done until I can get my hands on a gloss varnish. I have been checking stores for clear nail polish for the last two days without luck.


I also very quickly slapped together a shadow and a will o wisp for the adventure.

Ahh the mimic, one of the greater fears of D&D players...not as scary as rot grubs...and sometimes easier to spot.

Thank you Gwyn, CB, and Aku-chan. And I agree CB, rot grubs are much more terrifying. And thank you for all the comments

I finished painting eight smoke mephits that I made for Dungeons and Dragons. I like the way they turned out.


After sculpting a master I used green stuff to make a mold to make the eight I needed. I really missed having my silicone mold making supplies. I wasted so much green stuff, and the mold didn't work that well. I brushed on Vasaline between every casting, but it still stuck frequently and damaged the mold. I wanted to cast them in hot glue so that I could make them look translucent, and only use a black wash to hopefully make them look like they are made of smoke.


I have now finished 12 of the 27 monster miniatures that I would need to run the D&D adventure "Blue Alley". Almost halfway done.


Unfortunately, I won't be doing crafting for a little while again. I cut my finger pretty badly with my hobby knife, so I won't be able to do as much until it heals. Thanks for stopping by!

@Viterbi: Thanks so much Viterbi I'm glad you like it.
@Guardling: Thanks Guardling, I'm happy with how they turned out.

Does anyone remember how I chopped the arms off this little chimp figurine back in October to make an orc?


I didn't want to be wasteful, so I have sculpted him new arms and changed the face and body into a converted barlgura for D&D



It looks like I forgot to take pictures early on, but the rest of the photos of this sculpt are in the spoiler tag:

It feels good to be back to crafting I made 6 miniatures from hot glue from start to finish today. These two specters for D&D and also four "skulks" down below.


Skulks are an invisible humanoid with weirdly long clawed fingers. These are made 100% from hot glue.

This is official art for a skulk if you are curious:

I didn't take any WIP pictures of the skulks as I did them as in one go. But here are a few more pics of the specters:





The last bit of news is that I build a small storage box for my minotaur

The skulks are excellent but I find the spectres truly impressive. The rippling folds elongating out into the clawed hands- very nice work! I'm sure I haven't seen anyone even attempt the complexity of the work you do with hot glue- you're a pioneer!

@Meer_Cat: Thank you Meer_Cat I'm glad you like what I'm making. And I haven't seen anyone make this kind of stuff with only hot glue either. I like the idea of being a pioneer

@Viterbi: Thanks so much Viterbi I really enjoy working with hot glue and seeing what I can create with it.

Speaking of which, I made these two cheap not very impressive mind flayers for D&D a few weeks ago and forgot to post them. I followed a Youtube tutorial for the one on the left. It is made mostly of aluminum foil with tissue paper and other paper glued on top (Cabiro's Forge). After that I wanted to try to make one out of hot glue exept for the stick for the staff, the mind flayer on the right is completely made from hot glue.


I have also started sculpting an ankheg for D&D today


And the beginnings of some other things including a giant snake.


The giant snake is size huge. here is a scale shot.

The ankheg for D&D that I have been sculpting is just about finished. I just need to glue it together, and then make the ground that it is bursting out of.


Here is an earlier WIP of the ankheg


here is the latest progress of the wild boar and giant boar I am sculpting. I am trying for very dynamic poses.
