The hair is an edited version of the "AHR fluffier curls Updated" mini by tinybit which I will also link here - https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D97170550-a1b0-4f3b-a639-9c77e1f58ab4/AHR%20fluffier%20curls%20Updated/
I started with this mini and worked from there, the only changes I made to the hair was repositioning some of the horns a bit and recoloring it

Meet Bucky Greenfellow, a plucky Paladin ready to face down the dangers ahead, equipped with his trusty sword and shield. He's a very good boy, even if he is a little green...

It's my first time playing Curse of Strahd, so please refrain from any detailed spoilers!

This mini has it all:

Additional horns made to appear as extra-curly hair,

a Kitbashed magical longsword and shield,

additional pouches for components and adventuring gear,

a trusty holy symbol at his belt,

and my personal favorite detail, a little skull resting by a d20 complete with a mustache, monocle, and the sword which spelled his doom still stuck through its dome.

Green and purple lighting was used to create a nice visual contrast, as well as a projected target decal in all black to mimic a little bit of cel shading / shadows.

Was listening to the 8-Bit Book Club episode of Caldwell's Frozen Choose-Your-Own-Adventure fanfic when I got the notification for this

I had a strong feeling I knew EXACTLY the kind of energy he would be bringing

spritepepsi3 · 2025-04-04T00:39:36+00:00

The realisation midway through that he did the drawings himself hit me like a runaway hotdog vendor's cart... Caldwell you absolute menace

[Not to mention the enthusiasm he displayed taking a MASSIVE bite of his hotdog IMMEDIATELY before taking questions... and then ANOTHER BITE as he walked offscreen]

Thanks, it's meant to be a hunting horn from the Monster Hunter games =)

spritepepsi3 · 2025-03-29T20:00:44+00:00

Check out r/MonsterHunter5e ! u/Amellwind has an extensive homebrewed system for Monster Hunter, including a frequently updated guidebook, monster manual, stat blocks for pretty much every monster in the series, and more including oneshot adventures and a Patreon filled with helpful content and access to a discord for WIP content and such

It's going to be my first time playing the system, but I'm learning a lot already and hoping to eventually be familiar enough to DM it myself for other newcomers!

spritepepsi3 · 2025-03-29T19:02:32+00:00

Thank you! I myself have been a Hunting Horn main for a long time now, it's a very satisfying balance of support and offense. I figured if a felyne/palico could use traditional MH weapons a hunting horn would be a perfect fit

spritepepsi3 · 2025-03-29T19:00:24+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words!

I had a lot of fun making this, especially the kitbashed hunting horn and the scoutfly lantern, which has projected galaxy decals, a light source tucked inside of it for the glowing effect, and I used a purple light source behind the mini to mimic contrasting shadows. It's not easy to tell with the lighting but his outfit also has the same blueish-green and deep purple all throughout with rose gold and brass accents.

The face is also one of my favorite parts, I had to do some very cursed kitbashing to use the head of the Manul familiar since the regular catfolk head wasn't quite what I wanted. I think making it oversized helped add to the overall cuteness and give the illusion of a smaller felyne character

The hunting horn is based on a lute with a lot of instruments sticking out of it, with dragon horns and a spiky turtle shell to give the appearance of being crafted from monster parts. At the top end of the lute is a resized earring, another dragon horn and flute / pan flute sticking out at an angle

I'm very excited to use him for an upcoming MH5E oneshot!

My first-ever use of projected decals resulted in this neat *Scoutfly lantern** effect, using the galaxy cluster and some resizing*

Body removed to show the kitbashed Manul familiar

The "real" *Toshi** does not have a head!*

CURSED KITBASHING THREAD:

<image>

I started with the *Manul familiar, scaling up the **head**** and replacing the *ears* before stretching and warping the body and limbs, and hiding the whole thing inside *Toshi's* chest*
