Tl;dr - life became too busy to maintain a monthly release schedule and I dropped the whole thing while I got acclimated. But I’m back now and going to keep this thing alive with more minis whenever I have time to make them. To anyone still following: I hope to delight and disturb you soon 💜

The Boomstick Witch is just like a regular witch except without the ‘r’ in there, and, crucially, her spells are less like spells and more like getting blown away in spray of hot lead — to each her own, I guess! #nerdlings #digitalart #witch #miniaturepainting

Three renders of 3D printable tabletop miniatures - three poses for a purple witch that rides a double barrel shotgun that has hay around the stock like a broomstick.

Question for all the #minipainting enthusiasts out there - do you tend to prefer minis that have multiple poses available versus mono-posed ones? Is it more incentivizing when purchasing STLs? I’m thinking of modifying my workflow to include rigging and offer minis with variations… 🤔

This is definitely a Regular Human Child, and if Regular Human Child clacks its beak happily upon receipt of your candy, I certainly wouldn't linger on the thought. #minipainting #art #digitalart #nerdlings #ghost #costume

You've never heard a four-part harmony of a beloved jazz ballad until you've had the full sensory experience that includes flickering oral candlelight and the slight scent of decomposing gourd. #minipainting #art #digitalart #nerdlings #pumpkin

On a dark purple geometric background, a four-piece jack-o-lantner acapella group is singing a tune. This is a render of a 3D printable miniature for tabletop gaming. They wear bowties, mustaches, and straw hats, with a single cane, and musical notes.

This month, I spent some time devising a better rendering environment - something with a little depth, but still not pulling focus from the minis. I'm really happy with this nondescript geometric field even though that sounds like sarcasm as written. 🟪💖 #minipainting #art #digitalart #nerdlings

I think my favourite thing about the entire October release might be this craptacular recreation of the 1st edition Monster Manual cover. 100% unnecessary as anyone who prints it will see a grey rectangle. But also vitally necessary. #minipainting #dndhistory #dndart #1stedition

A side by side of the first edition dnd monster manual and a recreation of it in a 3D render. It has a red dragon, white unicorn, and brown centaur.

I went the “airbrush everything all at once so you’re more obliged to finish them” route. We’ll see if it works. #minipainting #miniaturepainting #miniatures #nerdlings #WIP

An in-progress render of a miniature being sculpted. It is beige clay. The person has a huge open mouth and is pointing at the camera in an unnerving way.
