A Return to the World of Faerie
A nostalgic trip to the whimsical fae realm, featuring custom painted miniatures inspired by folklore and Brian Froud’s Faeries artwork.

"To believe in faeries is to step into an enchanted space where the rational mind meets the irrational heart, and all things become possible." ~ Brian Froud

Here's this years set of wooden animals I've painted over the last two weeks.
They'll be a christmas present for my mom (3rd or 4th year in a row, I do this for her now) and go into her very lare and very unconventional nativity scene.

The party approached what seemed to be a pile of rusted weapons and armor, but as the wraith rose and coalesced around and into what they had hoped was easy loot, they knew they were in DEEP trouble!!!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
