i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

Legit I think if you took a CGI series character model, retextured it to match the changes from the toys (new colours or livery changes, drop shadow on the numbers, etc.) and replaced the face with a new one, you could get a pretty good idea of what the designs will look like in practise

Based on the toys, I'm guessing the 2026 series will reuse the existing CGI series character models but with new faces and textures to give them a fresh look (and the sets likely rebuilt from the ground-up using the existing assets like Arc had to do after taking over from Nitrogen)

I’m not done yet, cause I couldn’t do an Arcane Merchant pack without doing a Half Pariah pack as well. No excuses.
Hope you enjoy this little return to concept drawing. Maybe someday I’ll actually post my Rerailed Minis line in full for y’all to see lol. No promises.

Since MIPJunior's coming up next weekend there's a good chance we'll get our first looks at the untitled 2026 series from there (we got early previews for BWBA and AEG from there before), so I made a bingo chart of potential returnees in anticipation of that

Just slapped the last touches on Malkavian.
For an unplanned model made from scraps, I'm incredibly proud of it and so excited to find a place to run it.
