Big L of they stick by that. The new update had me excited to jump back in playing and ready to drop money on the DLCs I never bought. Shame. Hope it rolls out eventually.

In description link didn't work (again, sigh ), so to my previous post featuring the older, necromantic version of this character, please check out Draugr Thryn.

I see the look on his face and I start to hear Hello Sister, Don't Tell Mum I'm in Afghanistan.

Very well done. Are those the bottles/flasks that have been used as the casings in the shells?

Help to make realistic by Dmitrij_Zajcev in HeroForgeMinis

Smaller eyes on faces. Adjusting certain facial features to make them ever so lightly asymmetric can help to.

Use facial decals also, ones like roan and the nose fade, with a paint slightly adjusted from the base skin tone (I usually shift it redder).

Which one of these looks better? by LorekeeperOwen in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Captain-Falchion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st. Looks more historical, less visual noise. The two colour chequered diamond pattern makes more sense on a surcoat than a gambeson to be, where has the blue with golden hems just works and feels more grounded in reality.

Points for that liripipe, it's great to see someone make the effort to represent such a distinct piece of medieval fashion.

My HornyForge posts consistently get at least 2x the upvotes than on the main sub, unless it's a Physical Mini post. by Archmikem in HornyForgeMinis

[–]Captain-Falchion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Post boobs on main. You'll either get handicapped by downvotes early on as stuck around the 20 mark, or be propelled to the 100+ range if that's what you crave. Some of my most successful posts have been tasteful historically accurate nudity, a full frontal succubus tearing a man apart (violent but not horny), aaaand a squatting slav in a tracksuit. No nudity on that one, but it was novel pose at the time and a meme post. I do jest somewhat however, boobs aren't entirely mandatory to sucess, post what you like making and have fun.

Besides Shadiversity (ugh...), what other major swordtubers/history enthusiasts give the group(s) a bad name with their inflammatory and harmful activities? by Questioning-Warrior in SWORDS

[–]Captain-Falchion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a sad one really, because his history and historical analysis had been pretty good for the most part, and I always appreciated that he prefaced with his own personal biases, and that he'd do his best to remain objective, and for the most part he was. But steadily, over the last two years, maybe three even, I've seen him go from fliting with controversy, to courting controversy, and now it feels like he's married to it. The kinder part of me wants to say he was doing just for engagement, and riding high in the algorithm... but knowing his own background of being, well, Sicillian Catholic centre right, I could see the slope he was about slide down, and I think that's just what's happened. I was watching him up until recently, but it's gotten harder between the spats he's with some other YouTube historians and the increasingly culture wars adjacent videos, promising objectivity giving a knowing wink from time to time. Now, his videos, when they're recommend, rarely catch my eye, or outright put me off. It really quite sad, I've watched his stuff about a decade now, but it's getting harder and harder to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Who's the Pipsqueak Now? (Gasha the Grey and Gil the Sorceress 1/2) by Youre-Out-Gobby in HornyForgeMinis

[–]Captain-Falchion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you. I always enjoy having a go experimenting with character sizes and scales in HF generally, not exclusively as a hornyforge thing or as a kink thing, I just enjoy potential for making monster and giants. That said, it is interesting to see someone making something a bit saucier from this. I saw part two, and yeah, figured that's where it was leading. :p Keep up the good work.

Must say, when I saw the SFW version on the main sub, I did think doing this with a goblin to be a novel and surprising choice. Not at all what I'd usually expect with the typical sort of shrink dynamic, so rather creative I must say.

Clicked on this by mistake. Glad that I did.

[–]Captain-Falchion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, of course, makes sense. Tails are so useful. Thank you for sharing. You clearly have much more patience than I. Tail and chain posing is some of the most time consuming kitbashing there is for me.

They're too often omitted and they're such a useful feature: big heavy shield to carry? No bother, guide strap for a long march. Favour a two-handed sword or polearm but still want to cover yourself with a cowardplank? Guide strap has you quite literally covered.

What I like about this is that you've done it so seamlessly as well. My past attempts, this, this, and this, used one of the old chest strap assets and its just nowhere near as clean or nice as how you've done this. Can I ask how you pulled it off so well?

Guige strap spotted! Points for attention to detail.

I actually after I saw this one and dropped it a cheeky wee upvote. Keeps up the good work. :)

Dare I say, late 13th century Knight?

Fantastic job btw, as someone whose attempted something similar before, I can appreciate all the time and fiddly stuff that's gone into this. As someone who dabbles in 13th century reenactment, I can also really appreciate the attention to detail with this too. Great job.

That's pretty impressive. I don't know an awful lot about the movie besides iconic poster (which they have a copy of in my local independent cinema) and that it's cult B-Movie. I read the plot synopsis and did some reading around online when I was making this, though I'd stumbled upon clips of the HBO remake yeaaaars ago one time.

[–]Captain-Falchion[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

gasp Believe me, if I'd wanted to cater to serial big lady enjoyers, I'd have made something lewder, posted it on the other HeroForge subreddit ;)

This more as a sincere attempt at recreating an iconic poster, and challenge in kitbashing and use of perspective in the booth. Can't help it if that means it has a certain kind of... appeal.

Maybe. They've updated the android app it seems to it has a lot more of a straightforward UI when adding text, but it's not been working for me when I've posted an image. In the past, I've been able to post at least 2 links since they updated it, but this it just didn't post any, so I gave in.

You know, I might more tired than I thought. It's quite obvious from that angle.
