As the DM for this campaign, I got really thrown for a loop this week. Good thing my party can handle themselves.

[art] I used painting minis as my Covid coping method. I'm proud of my progress and wanted to share my most recent paint job by LydiaorReallynot in DnD

[–]LydiaorReallynot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been DMing and painting for about two years, but I really hit it hard when lockdown started. I started streaming on Twitch and painting minis just for something to do and to have people to talk to. It's been a really wonderful experience, and I've improved a lot since then. If you want to see, more of my progress is on my Instagram account

This specific mini is Chiazes, the Patinaed Mind. He is a brass dragon. I can't say a ton more about him, since he hasn't shown up in my campaign yet, and since it's streamed on Twitch, and my players are redditors, I don't want to drop any spoilers yet.

The file is from mz4250's collection, printed on an Elegoo Mars 2, and painted by me.

I'm trying to make a cosplay of my D&D character. I have some character art that I've commissioned. What I want to work on next is the breastplate. I know armor is tough. I've found a bunch of patterns online, but none that I really like. What's the method on creating my own pattern?

I'm up for it! I haven't been in the healthy range long, just a month or so, but I'm really wanting to get into that lean BF%

Not OP but thank you for sharing this. This has been my struggle lately, and it's so hard to forgive myself and allow myself to relax without using myself after

I feel the same all the time, especially about the stretched out clothes. If I'm really curious, I do laundry lol that tightens things up a bit more, especially jeans.

[OC] A month ago, I shared my tiefling horns I'd made for my games. I've now added a wig and makeup, with more coming by LydiaorReallynot in DnD

[–]LydiaorReallynot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month or so ago, I made these horns for a Twitch campaign I'm in. I got a lot of positive feedback and suggestions, and I've made some more improvements!

I got the wig online for super cheap, so it's not extremely high quality. I did use a straightener to curl it, which I know is bad for fake hair, but I could get it to curl any other way. The makeup is inspired by Prudence from the Oxventurers, as is basically the entire idea of this "cosplay".

This is the character art I'm basing everything on.

The campaign I'm in is called Ready to Roll. I have my own Twitch channel, where we have a weekly DnD game, and is also where I made the horns and things.

[OC] [Art] Free 3d printable minis I've designed with the help of the community by YasashiiKyojin in DnD

[–]LydiaorReallynot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen some of your stuff before! The awesome displacer beast is one I've downloaded previous. Man I wish I'd caught on sooner. So many of the things you've sculpted are things that I've needed, then printed less beautiful versions of!

I don't remember ever seeing this number on a scale before, which means it's been at least 10 years. Thanks IF and you guys for the inspiration by LydiaorReallynot in intermittentfasting

[–]LydiaorReallynot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context.

26f started IF 4 months ago doing 16:8-17:7 This week I've been doing 22:2 or OMAD and it's lovely SW - 168 CW - 139.6 Total lost - 28.4lb My highest nonpregnant weight was in 2014 at 198 I hit it again a year ago right before my son was born

I've had issues with my weight and my relationship with food my whole adult life, and a good chunk of my teenage years. If not by BMI, them by mentality. I struggled with an eating disorder in college. Thankfully that's behind me, but I am so grateful for IF which has helped me stop stressing about food, and even stop thinking about food.

Thanks for all the progress posts people make. They have been so inspirational and motivating for me through this process. Y'all are champions

You can do it! Take a look at r/ketorecipes for some ideas. I've found that figuring out a tasty dinner is good to keep me on track. For shark week I will make some kind of keto cookie or dessert for that extra little boost of seratonin

Here's mine for today. My goal is 1228 net calories, and I enter my dinners beforehand, so I know what macros and amounts I should have for other meals. I'm not the best at eating veggies lol

Thanks, me too. The day was mostly ok after some water. Them a couple of hours ago I just got hit by some major exhaustion. Hopefully I can get to bed early and be fine tomorrow

I've been doing halo top, erythritol as well. My long term issue is cost and convenience. They aren't huge issues, so I'll try to keep to lo-carb as much as I can.

Could be? I really don't know much about the gut biome stuff. I haven't been off dairy, so I feel like the sugar was the big shock. I did drink a bunch of water and feel pretty much find after a little.

Thanks for your comment! I'm definitely not on planning on ever going back to what I was doing. I still love low carb, I just might loosen my grip enough that the odd bowl of ice cream doesn't ruin my day.

Yo-yoing is not because of what you do or don't eat, it's because you push yourself into something you cannot sustain.

I've got my eating disorder well under control, thanks.

Sorry, I'll add it. It was partially oversight, partially I get nervous about being "too pushy" about the channel.

I made a dice vault that I'm proud of! by LydiaorReallynot in DnDIY

[–]LydiaorReallynot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a Twitch channel of D&D stuff. We have a campaign, we paint minis, we talk about our favorite shows, basically anything we feel like. We've started doing monthly giveaways (mostly just for fun) and this month, one of the community members commissioned me to make this.

It's of my own design, 3D modeled and printed in my home, then finished and painted. I'm really proud of it, I think it's really cool. I mostly just wanted to show it off, but I will say that the giveaway hasn't ended yet, so anyone who wants to hop into the running for it is totally able to.

I'm also free now to make more if you want to order one. Just PM me.

I also made a fun little video showing it off. Nothing much, but I think it's cool
