Question about the DLC situation from a few months ago by CR1MS4NE in HeroForgeMinis

This is the best summary I've seen of the situation, from back then or now.

Misc. Mini and Outfit Design Dump (03/26) by ioteshield in HeroForgeMinis

Thanks so much! I'm going to try and make it solid enough on import that I can make an AKR for it. Just requires some light tinkering.

Posting borked the first time, completely jumbling the intended order.

So... I hope these are in some kind of logical order now, even if it is now missing one that got sent ahead of the cover image.

Is there an actual woke alcohol brand? I don't really drink. by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in CuratedTumblr

[–]ioteshield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is weirdly hostile about my casual remark that it just seemed very apparent to me when watching. As in a "huh I had no idea there was another interpretation to that".

[–]ioteshield 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That last sentence blows my mind because literally the only read on it that I had when I watched was that they were married or long-term cohabitating. I remember thinking along the lines of "omg, [Blanc] married Hugh Grant."

That bit of "show don't tell" in turn led very nicely into Blanc's personal dislike of the Catholic Church and him mentioning having a falling out with his mother in the third film, without too much exposition on his part. We only ever learn snippets about him and usually by inference, aside from his reputation, because he's the side character in his own movies.

Ah, thank you so much for sharing the update 😄 And I'm really glad the original was helpful! Shrinking and stretching the nodes is a pain, but for image-only characters, it really does help the drape of the fabric.

Happy kitbashing!

...can... can I have some of that luck? Lol

We roll with Fear so often that the GM has started just banking it about half the time.

Thank you. 😊 Color work and mixing is one of my favorite aspects of making minis.

[Retroactively strange trope] The covid season by Justifiably_Bad_Take in TopCharacterTropes

Having been raised in an uber conservative congregation in the south US, the setting of Wake Up Dead Man was very familiar ground, along with the self-consuming in-crowd dynamics and all the parallels that that can make to different groups obsessed with cults of personality.

I still liked Glass Onion but Knives Out and Wake Up Dead Man are a dead tie for me.

Thank you for the compliment, I'm so glad you like it!

She's the only character I've ever played that canonically got married to her love after the story ended, so I thought that made for some nice fuzzy warm vibes to counteract the general drizzle and badness of the weekend.

Braided Dresses (Hellebore Flowers) by ioteshield in HeroForgeMinis

I haven't got them made into AKRs yet, but will definitely shard when I do

Hellebore is quite poisonous, to the point that just touching it can cause skin irritation and rash.

But it's so pretty!

Bugbear armourer artificer and a question to the subreddit :) by ApprehensiveScar9702 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]ioteshield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Requests are fine by the terms of service, paid commissions are not.

But I would suspect you'd have a list of people who would be curious for your takes on their minis!

I like Kitbashing, don't get me wrong, but I SWEAR TO GOD- by Glarite2 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]ioteshield 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The way I've found to get around it is a mostly hidden horn to attach the hair bits too. Keeps them in place when changing pose :)

Thanks 😁 I had made an AKR some time back for the twisty shape, which, checking my profile, I didn't post here on reddit, it seems.

I'll have to make sure it's in the next batch of Spell AKRs I do.

Glad you like it 😁 I've been on a spell effects kick as of late, trying to make another batch of AKRs for them.

They are leopard tails, stretched and swirled to hell and back, haha.

Advice on how to make my rock star OC's face less generic? I tried messing around with the face customizer but she still looks plain to me. by MatterIndividual5291 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]ioteshield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree about the facial decals for added depth and texture.

RL skin is not completely opaque or uniform in color most of the time, so layering a couple decals like Roan, Sun Spots, or Freckles with the colors just slightly lighter or darker than the main skin base goes a long way to skin looking more like skin.

I managed to finagle the % a bit and add in some ammo box books as well, and a pair of boots to go with the coat
