Something something Valentina Alektos. I'm really happy with how this is turning out. <3 She looks Very Annoyed, game isn't going so well for Astro at the moment so that tracks. (Looks best if you don't enlarge the image. xD The mini is about 2.5cm tall, so it looks a lot better in person I think- the wonkiness of the eyes is less obvious, etc etc.)

Maegon, ranger character from my Wednesday game. It being Wednesday, I'll hand him back to the owner today! I'll see if the roleplayer wants me to take it for another week so I can add the little tattoo markings and tidy up some stuff, otherwise this is it.

A couple weeks ago as I was packing away Dawn's mini, the right hand fell off and was never seen again. This was weird because the hand was the one that came with the model I used for the body- not something I'd cut off another and re-attached (the only piece that came from another model was the head + cape combo.) It was a bit sad because there was a cool spell effect that was so much fun to paint, but I talked to my friend (Astro's DM) and she had a mini she was willing to let me pinch the hand from! (It's the same mini I used for Twyla! ft. also the cute furby sticker I recently bought for my laptop.) ...and now, I have another cool spell effect to paint. Yay! I'll touch up the rest of the model while I'm at it too, and post new pics here. EDIT:Because it's good lighting for photos, here's another! Dawn's mini alongside Astrophelle's newest mini (which was made for this latest "EVERY AASIMAR IN THE WORLD INCLUDING MYSELF IS GOING TO DIE IF WE DON'T FIX THIS, AHHHHHH??!!??" story arc.)

Astrophelle's mini is now being kept at my friend's house with the other minis for that campaign. I painted the arm and Spell Effect for Dawn's mini and am very happy with it! (not pictured: their robe of stars, and their staff's magical telescope form.) I finally got some backstory approved last night too, which is nice! I always get so nervous bringing ideas to DMs in case they think the ideas are silly. xD Dawn's mother Nox was taken away by the fey as a child, but later found her way back to the world of mortals (the country the campaign is set in has a rather large crossing to the feywild, so it checks out!) So she learned all kinds of things she was then able to pass on to Dawn- her healing skills, the ability to turn into animals, her knowledge of the stars...it all ties together very nicely and I love it a lot. (it also helpfully explains her name, Nox Summersong- which is very fanciful but precisely the sort of name one might choose after spending a lot of time in the feywild!)

Blurry WIP from today of Valyrissa (Phoebe's mum) and a generic drow dude mini (I need three drowdudes for next Trash Squad, and I only have two other appropriate minis.)

Turns out I didn't need three drowdude minis anyway! The party were waiting to ambush a Local Evil Dude, so when they heard screams in the distance (because this drow team were trying to put some of the Local Evil Dude's experiments to rest, and it wasn't going so well), they just...ignored them. My original notes had the party running into that team, but when the party stayed in one place for three hours waiting for the Local Evil Dude to come to them, I was like...guess this is how I'll do it, instead!!!
I rolled max on how many of the drow-team died as a result, but decided to have Phoebe's mother live because it would feel way too harsh on her roleplayer otherwise. But all three drowdudes died (including Phoebe's cousin), as well as a wizard Bart vaguely knows. Will be interesting to see how the party respond to learning about this next time!

Putting together a mini for a level 1 PC I started playing yesterday. Now watch them die next session or something. xD But I can always do with more elf minis anyway. This is mostly one mini, just with a different head glued on. The character it represents uses a longbow, not a crossbow, but this is close enough for something I cobbled together from unused minis at home!

Blurry pic of my progress so far- along with Dawn's mini, which I keep on this shelf because it's easy to grab when I'm heading out to a session. These two are level 5 and level 1 characters in the same campaign world, who in fact work for the same wizard school! I imagine their relationship would go something like this. *various characters milling about in the dorms* DAWN: "Ooh, you do ice stuff? Nice! How do you do that? Also, why ice?" FROSTWARDEN: "Uh um okay well um yeah ice...is good." Frostwarden knows like eight languages and can communicate effectively in none of them...what a tragedy.

Not in a very good headspace today. I need to make an appointment with my GP when they open on Monday and arghmarghhhh I am freaking out about that one. I will try and nap off that Anxietybad. But I did get some painting done, and that was nice. All base colours are now done on Frostwarden, except the hair, but that's white anyway so it will still look a lot like this.

Now that Astrophelle has permanent wings, I'll be converting this mini into my fifth Astro mini! =P Bought her a few weeks back, what perfect timing. At first I was a bit disappointed because it doesn't have robes, but then I realised robes would get in the way when flying anyway. Modified armour to accommodate wings makes a lot more sense! Been thinking a lot about colour schemes and doing mock-ups in HeroForge. The armour will be primarily gold, like the robes on her first adventuring mini, maybe with silver on the pauldrons to echo her angel's armour. The sun on her chest will probably just be a different shade of gold. Or white-and-gold, again because of her angel (Evlavei is usually dressed in white, just not when armored) and the significance of having a symbol reflecting him so close to her heart. The fabric and disc at her waist is the part I'm most undecided on. I have a few ideas for things I could reflect with these colours: 1. Red for the trailing bit (to match the red on Amadeus' mini), white for the sash around her waist (Evlavei) and bright blue for the disc (Sky Swallowsong.) => Variants thereof: particularly blue trailing, white sash, red disc. 2. Gold disc (probably matching the sun on her chest), blue and red trailing/sash. Eh, I'll give it some thought! Need to Frankenstein the mini first, and finish Frostwarden as well.

ME: I will give it some time before I frankenstein this new mini! ALSO ME: The head is from the partner mini to the Astrophelle in the purple outfit I painted a while back.

Astrophelle Alektos WIP! In front of my laptop. Painting while watching the season finale of Nights of Eveningstar. You can really clearly see what I'm doing with the wings here. I think they look so nice!!!
