Tiny Many-Eyed Monster

This could be used as a D&D mini, but I'm not sure what it would be.

Troll Mini

This was made in 2012 as a Dungeons & Dragons mini.  I think it was meant to be an orc, but I'm going with troll for now.

All-Purpose Monster Miniatures

These are two all-purpose monster miniatures for use in a Dungeons & Dragons game.  I don't have any games going on currently, so I guess these will have to wait.  I made them a few weeks ago.  I was working at the pottery studio on a Saturday night when suddenly a large, noisy group of people turned up for a "clay party."  They were weekend revelers and I was there to work.  I felt trapped in the room where I was working.  While I waiting for the pot I was making to dry, I made these bold artistic statements.

Kenku Assassin Miniature

This is a miniature figure of my Kenku Assassin called Ulin.  Kenkus were humanoid parakeets in AD&D but were reincarnated as slightly seedier humanoid crows in later editions.  It occurred to me that maybe his tunic is cut scandalously low.

Earth Elementals

Last week, I started another season of D&D Encounters: The Elder Elemental Eye. I'm finding myself less enthusiastic about making miniatures. There are a few interesting elemental creatures I'm planning on producing, but I'd rather concentrate on other projects at this point.

Here are two earth elementals for tonight's game. I'll probably glaze them at some point, but I think the natural clay color suits them just as well.

Soryth the Dream Queen

Soryth is the big boss from this past season of D&D Encounters, Beyond the Crystal Cave. She's a hag who tries to steal the souls of several pairs of innocent young interspecies (human-elf) lovers. My group finished tonight, two weeks off schedule. Soryth has the ability to cause her opponents to attack each other, but most of the players in my group had crappy basic melee and ranged attacks and weren't able to do much damage to each other.

Kalbon the Cambion Devil

This is my miniature of Kalbon, a Cambion devil and one of the main villains in Beyond the Crystal Cave. Actually, Kalbon is the consort of the main villain, the hag Soryth.

The mini is off model for a cambion devil, but I wanted to use the ape mold for the face. It makes him seem more bestial and vicious than a more humanoid design would.

Body Snatcher Boggle

This is one last boggle miniature for D&D Encounters. This one teleports inside your brain and forces you to attack your allies.

Boggles

These are boggles, fey goblin relatives that like to steal things, such as keys and your eyes.




Boggle Blink Trickster




Boggle Chase Tricksters




Boggle Sight Stealer



I should note that boggles are supposed to be small creatures and that these alleged miniatures aren't really to scale.

Verbeeg Miniatures

These are Verbeegs, green-skinned fey giants for use as miniatures in Beyond the Crystal Cave. The story involves a young interracial (Human and Elf) couple that is drawn into onto a magical island in the Feywild (the world of the faeries that lies parallel to what passes for the real world in the game). An evil Hag and her infernal consort bring the couple to the island in an attempt to gain control of the land, but are partially thwarted by a variety of fey creatures. One of these is a Verbeeg named Ragnar. The human male, Orlando, goes missing, and Ragnar sends his thuggish cousin Basal after Orlando, intending to slay him to keep him out of the hag's clutches. It's a delightfully convoluted story.




This was the first attempt and it came through the kiln missing most of one arm.



Note that Verbeeg can be used in a variety of clever phrases such as "Verbeeg Ego" or "Verbeeg Dilemma" or, in a slightly less clever example, "Verbeeg Miniature."

Waterspouts

These are waterspouts, elemental entities on an enchanted lake fighting alongside a male pixie named Ariel for a session of D&D Encounters.
















Here they are from above to show the funnel-like shape.

Satyr Brawlers, Group 2

This is my second group of satyrs. I used a different technique to attach the horns and on two out of three satyrs, it worked. The bald satyr in the middle still lost most of his horns.

Pixies

These are pixies used as minis in D&D Encounters. The one on the left in the top picture has the face of Lando Calrissian's copilot Nien Nunb from Return of the Jedi.

The Three Bears

On the other hand, if the players chose to side with the hamadryad and pixies of the Summer Fey, they were asked to prank the satyrs and wilden of the Green Fey Camp by tricking bears into devouring their casks of mead.

The two young bears:




The vicious mama bear:

Young Unicorns

This week's session of D&D Encounters was called "The Test." The adventurers had to choose between befriending one of two camps of fey creatures and in either case, the other camp ended up as the adversaries. If the players chose to befriend the satyrs and wilden in the Green Fey camp, they were asked to prank the hamadryad and pixies in the Summer Fey camp by stealing their unicorns. My players didn't pick that possibility but here are the unicorns anyway.

Wildens

Wildens are new additions to the D&D bestiary. They're meant to be fey (fairy) creatures that emerged from the Feywild to combat the increasing Far Realm menace. In the context of Beyond the Crystal Cave, they're getting drunk with a gang of satyrs.




I attempted to form the faces myself instead of using a mold and this one is my favorite.

Extra Mudmen

The Encounter with the mudmen in Beyond the Crystal Cave was last week, but here are three extra mudmen.










The YouTube video of the Dragon's Lair Mudmen level from my first Mudmen post has disappeared. I uploaded one myself (and without the annoying tutorial). I fixed the original post, but here's the video again.



Here is my favorite death scene from the Mudmen level.
