Non cannon fanart!

Rain and Emily celebrating Halloween! Looks like Rain's dragon HRT really took off along with her streaming career!
#15YearsOfRain
A teal dragon wearing purple and black with a rider in pink from their left. The rider's banner is the trans pride flag with Kaminari's face marking superimposed on it and the pan pride flag at the trailing end. The base is mostly dormant grass with a small section of concrete curb and asphalt roadway with yellow markings. The same dragon and rider from the front Again, the dragon and rider, but from their right this time.

I am not immune to propaganda.

However it is the 31st, I was literal days old when I went to it in theaters, she was 75% off (so she was less than $5), and she pairs wonderfully with the Disney Infinity Jack.

Woohoo! 2 slow burn projects done!

My Marauder family found their color just after Gothic dropped so I now have all 4 chassis as a cohesive group.

And a brown Orion rounds out my Free blades/Wonder Dummies. A gang of spheroid hereditary stupi- err, nobility in their family's mechs.

Continuing with the grafted battlemech how to.

Step 3: graft in flesh.

Step 4: release it upon an unsuspecting world and laugh in the face of the gods!

Are the grumpy grognards tired of seeing Gothic Atlases yet? Well too bad! Here's mine! The lead mech of the pirate band "Mary's Marauders."

I'm not sure if her last name is "Read" or "Shelley"...

Step 1: Vivisect a mech, taking care to remove the entire skeleton.

Step 2: Graft in a new skeleton. Replace any lost parts with whatever spares you have on hand and save any extraneous ones for future subjects.

Take that you stupid brain weasel!

Steadily plodding along on a couple other projects had my thinky bits feeling unproductive. So I grabbed a dino, rolled a D10 for color, applied a simple countershading pattern, and picked out some details for a finished mini!

I told myself "never again" after the MacLeod loud plaid accent panels on the first Highlander.

Anyway, say hello to the Northwind Highlander's 588th "Hecate's Scout Lance" and their theme song I made from Sabaton's "Night Witches", my changes in purple.

Post a mage!

This mage only knows 4 spells: Control Monster, Shrink, Shatter, and Stasis!

Slightly older piece, again @reaperminiatures.bsky.social Bones line helping goofs come to be!
A female mage holding a spell book with an oddly patterned cube on her belt... She has pale skin and green hair, and wears brass rimmed spectacles, a blue and purple robe with red laces and gold trim, a red belt with gold trim, and white boots. The same mage from above and behind showing her spell book open to shrink and shatter and 3 more peculiar cubes on her belt...

Orc-gron. Is. ANGYYY!!!

The joy of @reaperminiatures.bsky.social, you have a stupid idea to fill an orc's head full of nails as a joke on a 40k primarch and $5 and a little bit of effort later you have him!

Base later when I have supplies.

Ha ha! I has figured out content tagging!

She's a quick rough paint job but the base turned out better than I expected. I have gone in and upped the rust on the Aquila to push the nature/urban decay element.

Warning, incidental fairy boba ahead.

#art #fairy #minis @reaperminiatures.bsky.social
A fairy woman from the side. She looks like a human looking woman with long pointed ears, a horse-like tail and wings shaped like a butterfly's but structured like a dragonfly's. She holds a crude spear with a bone, horn, or stone blade. Her hair and wings are green and her light pink-ish skin has a distinctly green undertone. The base is an urban concrete and rusted iron with tendrils of bright green litchen growing in. The same fairy woman in a full frontal view showing her long green loin cloth, and a dagger made of the same material as the spear head in her off hand.

I really need to figure out a good way to photograph the entirety of the "Secundus City Watch" Mercs. This is just the latest batch and doesn't include the Mech or Infantry swarms.

And because I can, the femme fatale; Tiger-ceratops!

Look, are YOU going to tell a triceratops she ISN'T a beautiful, dangerous, Lady? I didn't think so.

Model from Ismael Panadero Garcia on My Mini Factory.
A purple triceratops with pink underbelly and pale green tiger stripes. She has a powerful tail, 3 significant horns, and 4 strong legs. Say she ISN'T a femme fatale at your own risk...

Quote with some femme fatale #art 💋

My Heretic Priestess for #TrenchCrusade devoted to the Goetic President Amy. Model from Patrick Cudrey on My mini Factory, 'splodey timbers from Wyrd miniatures "Mei Feng".
Miniature of a "grimdark" aesthetic female cultist behind a barricade exploding outward. She is wearing a wrap around her waist and skull mask surrounded with red barbs. Her arms are crossed in front of her chest and hold a pair of bone knives. Her hands, chest, and knives have bloodstains on them. The second picture is the back view of the cultist. The red barbs of her headdress cascade in layers down her back resembling waist length hair. Her wrap goes down to her ankles and has a Goetic symbol painted on it in red. The bottom of her wrap, her feet, and the ground she has walked over are all bloodstained.

In the immortal words of countless fans: eeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

So the book arrived about a week ago but my stickers just got in.
Fortuitous, as I wasn't sure my submission had gone through and I was JUST talking about my travel paint setup needing more stickers.

@aurorawebcomic.bsky.social
2 toolboxes with stickers on them. The first has the Aurora volume 1 logo applied in a corner. The second has a Huitzilopochtli "Blood for the blood god" hummingbird and "We proudly ship Achilles and Patroclus" partially covering the Reaper Miniatures skull logo.

I require assistance! My toolbox and paint case require more stickers. Specifically a "Trans rights or I bites" but anything with a similar vibe would be good.

Could I just Google it? Yes, but I don't trust my ability to find one by and supporting an actual artist and not just an AI data scraper.
Picture of the back of a tackle box and paint case in desperate need of stickers. The tackle box is woefully barren.
