Am currently painting some weregulls (were-seagulls, yes) for a game tonight.
I need five but only have three appropriate minis. That's okay though, I can just grab a couple humans and say that's their human forms.

WIP angel for a friend. I love the angle of the wings on this one.

I won't see this friend for two weeks, so have time to finish this angel.
I also need to work on minis for Fazrian (corrupted planetar), Lightdrinker (dwarf vampire), and Ezzat (lich), whom my trash squad should meet in the next session or two! All have been started, Fazrian requires the most work.

Models I am currently painting: -Frost Giant Queen mini (demigod, for Trash Squad.) -T'rissa (finishing up after working out how to bring her back into the story.) -Ezzat -Fazrian
Models I have, and need to paint: -Ras Nsi (also need to replace missing arm!) -Hexaline (my new player character!) (once the head arrives.)
Models I need to get (and then also paint): -Kingston and Arcturia (custom, most expenny, I cry.) -> Might be able to track down the official prepainted Arcturia? We shall see. -Halaster (official mini, or else just a generic beardy wizard mini.) -Illithid dragon??? (Maybe??? No mini exists so I'll probably need to just chuck a chuul head on a dragon or something.)

Did some more work on Miss Hexaline Bloodapple today!!! The paint I used for the apple-like object in her hand is actually a technical paint intended for painting blood, so that was kind of fun. xD (the faces on these minis remain screwy as ever to work with, but I'm doing my best.)

I should probably post some updated pics here! Been posting them everywhere else after all. Extremiton (she/it), Kingston (he/him) and the Giver of Gifts (he/they at present)! Extremiton the ulitharid (a type of mindflayer) is trying to make a deal with the Trash Squad so they don't wipe out her entire colony (heck, she'll settle for everyone else dying as long as she can survive to rebuild!!!) Part of this deal involves telling the party where to find Kingston, their most hated enemy (that happens when you're a player character and you defect to join the villains!) Kingston (a changeling) changes his name and appearance constantly, but he is currently disguised as a young human woman and seemingly just going by 'the face changer.' The sword in his hand is Tearulai, a sentient longsword he and his transmutation-obsessed mentor screwed around with and made more powerful but also more unstable (and very unhappy! She just wanted to go home.) Similar situation with the Giver of Gifts, who is a tiny fragment of the god of the changelings. This fragment came into existence purely to help Kingston. In the end, they sacrificed themself to save the party, but Kingston and his mentor managed to recover them. Now, they are bound to Kingston once more, and he has done a few nasty experiments on them besides. The gold around the Giver's eyes and the black gunk leaking from them is a side-effect of this. There's a dragon form Kingston can force this fragment to painfully and dramatically transform into mid-combat...the mini for this hasn't arrived yet so I'm really really hoping it will and I can paint it before Friday's session. xD The black and gold from the human form's face will definitely be reflected in the dragon form. The purple of the cape is a reference back to the very first form the party ever met this fragment in- a young cheerful human in purple robes! Why has horrible stuff happened to everyone Kingston is connected with? Because this is a trend established when he was a PC that I have been trying to drive home now he is an NPC- Kingston makes selfish choices that hurt everyone who could ever have cared about him. This makes him a really fun antagonist to run!

I rolled a bunch of random encounters last session and now uhhh Trash Squad have a bunch of new friends. xD Phoebe has a new demon friend called Ezmina (her rper is going to paint a mini for her!), while I will be painting minis for the two wights who turned up ready to serve 'Lord Bart'leh Drowgula' the necromancer (whose mini I also intend to touch up, it's been a while since I painted him and there's a lot I can improve.) The middle mini is definitely being used for Zac the wight (they/them), and the mini on the left I might end up swapping out for a different one but it is a possible candidate for a mini for Herbert the wight (he/him.) EDIT: I ended up choosing a different mini for Herbert! Here is my progress so far, along with Bart himself.

Pictures from a couple days back of a mini I'm slowly working on! This is Grey, my aasimar warlock in a D&D campaign set in the Domains of Dread. Last session the party found out they all used to be mindflayer experiments, but those memories had been erased and/or repressed- not a fun time! A more recent picture, after weathering some bits and roughly mapping out space for the eyes: His face is going to be a nightmare to paint, but I'll make an attempt at it this week. Not sure what I'll do with the base- the domains of dread are very bleak, but stone would blend in with the model's colour scheme. So I might go for dirt with a couple tufts of withered grass clinging to it, or something like that.

Hey it Grey again!!!! My favourite aasimar/mindflayer experiment/morally dubious player character!!! (this Wednesday we're wrapping up the spooky mindflayer adventure...am excited for it!) I'm so incredibly happy with how his face is turning out!! ;-; So tiny and so tricky to paint. After Grey, I'll probably start working on Faine, a character I'm playing in a new Wednesday game. Our Wednesday group normally plays two games on alternating weeks (Hexaline's and my naval campaign), with Grey's game being a series of occasional one-shots if we can't play one of our regular games for whatever reason. However, my naval game wrapped up the other week, and so now someone else is DMing and I get to paint a mini for my new drow wizard. Yay!!!

I am not great at updating this thread, am I??? Whoops. Got a couple tieflings I finished recently and some mimics I'm working on for my brother, that I neglected to share. Also never shared Faine. Maybe later I'll track down some pictures! I also want to paint up one of my water elementals to practice sea and foam effects.
Also, stuff arrived for two new minis I need to work on! -A drider, for the love interest of a drow PC (who unknown to the player, has been turned into a drider.) -A human druid, to provide some pieces for the mishmash mini for my new PC, Vale. Vale is a Frankenstein's monster sort of dude composed of multiple bodies including a stag, a knight, and a washerwoman. He gets flashes of memories from all these people, so he should be fun to play.
