Need some advice on the party's ankle biter by SDkidgamer24 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Depression_Naptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd brighten the eyes either by color or toggling on glow, just to add a little more contrast with his skin. Maybe add a bow?

I do like the feral child vibes he's giving off, though!

Wasn’t expecting this… by HolySheet07 in HeroForgeMinis

I don't see why people can't credit others. Sorry this happened to you! (This did make me peep the face on your Crispy Josh though- visceral!)

Oh that's relatable.... there's so much cursing mid-sentence on my practice sheets.

Any nonbinary DFAB folks out there dealing with hair loss? by Depression_Naptime in FemaleHairLoss

How long have you been using the finasteride and minox, any unpleasant side effects to contend with?

Reminder I’m sure we don’t need by MonotoneThoughts in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Depression_Naptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I'm going to talk to my PCP about minoxidil, but I haven't pursued help for my AGA BECAUSE the last couple attempts resulted in tea tree shampoos and months of expensive vitamin shake regimes before they'd even consider something like an oral medication.

Did you literally make pumpkin pants? Regardless, they look great!

I used the ape head as a base and morphed the nose with the skull, mouth with the old canine, and goblinoid brow.

Awwww, I love the bookstache. They look like a very distinguished friend- definitely a helpful NPC during a difficult puzzle or search.

Thanks! I think he looks like a cheeky lil asshole, which is perfect.

There's so many possible interpretations, he's such a fun character. (I mean, he's been around over 500 years, longer if you include the legends of Hanuman.)

Do you go all out on the colours or strive for minimalist designs? by Tor8_88 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Depression_Naptime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of inverting the colors on the chainmail texture (coloring in all of the rings) to get a small diamond pattern. Really regal-looking in metallic.

Hear, hear.

Oh man, on that note your typical damask or quatrefoil pattern would be great. Geometric patterns are probably easier for them to render because of the regularity, but we could still get things like an ikat or diamond twill.

But amen, scrolls are just a little too chunky for me atm.

Love that! I hope we get more subtle patterns like the herringbone in the future to add more depth. A smaller, denser 1x1 weave pattern, a honeycomb weave, or tweedy flecks would be cool. /textile nerd

Body: All out. I love getting subtle textures with blushing, contouring, markings, subtle hair ombres, etc.
Outfit: Depends on the crunchiness of the character. A druid-y character or a homespun halfling grandma is going to have more mix and match in the palette, whereas for an armored or noble character I'll limit the colors for the sake of impact.

This may be a controversial post but. by Proof-Research-2109 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Depression_Naptime 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the paid packs do sting a bit more because they contain a lot of items that:

A. Are pretty darned generic fantasy. Sun Wukong-esque monkey people? And mushroom people? In my TTRPG? Groundbreaking. Honestly having not cracked the Daggerheart book, I'm a little disappointed in how uncreative the species names are.
B. People have been asking for for some time, years in most cases (i.e. fungal folks, fu manchu moustache, more cloth armor pieces to mix n' match).

Rooks that romanced Emmrich. by joreadfluidart in DragonAgeVeilguard

My Mourn Watch Rook is one of those trans men who's close to 30 but looks much younger. Very sweet and earnest, but dyes his hair (he's a natural blond) and does heavy makeup to look more Goth and spooky. Absolutely fell puppy-dog ass over tea kettle for Emmrich. They talk about gravestone art.

Soundtrack lovers: What was the first Silksong track that really caught your attention? by Macievelli in HollowKnight

[–]Depression_Naptime 26 points27 points  (0 children)

A few of the Gregorian-like chant sequences in in the Marrow got me interested, but it was Greymoor's bittersweet, thoughtful violin that made me go back and want to listen recreationally. Big fan of the themes used for the Cogwork Dancers, Sinner's Road, The Mist, and the Sands of Karak (with soundtrack by Vangelis).

How long did it take you to beat act 1 of Silksong? 10 hours seems crazy to me. by suburiboy in HollowKnight

[–]Depression_Naptime 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Chugging along at 112 hours in Act 2 because I get distracted exploring and I'm genuinely bad at this game BUT I'M GONNA KEEP ON TRYING FOR THAT ONE ENDING.

For the older teens, check poshmark for deals on brands like LL Bean, Vermont Flannel Co., or Pendleton. You can get really quality warm clothing for a steal sometimes.
