He likes big butts and he cannot die

That’s not entirely true. He CAN die if you disrupt his ability to regenerate. But that headline would have been enormous. Like his butt.

Bringing it back around.

This Venom Troll print from Epic Miniatures was a speedy one-session paint job. We started supporting their Patreon about five months ago, and Devon was happy to finally get a chance to paint a min from their impressive collection. Impressive like this guy’s butt.

I’m sorry. I just can’t stop.

Devon is in love with a new-to-him oil-paint technique he picked up from Secret Weapon, which he used for the base. Water-mixable oils are easier to clean up than traditional oils, but we recommend keeping mineral spirits on hand anyway to make your job easier. Secret Weapon recommends Phtalo Green, but Devon likes Sap Green, so we link to that paint in the materials below.

MAKER MONDAY: Don't fear the Reaper mins

Allow us to introduce the latest sound in death metal — the Rolling Bones! They really slay!

Devon brought these cute little guys to unlife with a corroded-metal technique (see below) that he learned from Monument Hobbies. Click this link for 10% off their paints.

The plastic mins are Barrow Wardens from Reaper. Seriously, don’t fear them. They’re tiny and harmless.

MAKER MONDAY: When life hands you melons, SMASH THEM WITH YOUR THIGHS!

Devon painted this Bae Victis min (from Vae Victis) as part of an ongoing project — a shadow box to commemorate our gaming group’s wrap of Paizo’s Skull & Shackles. He painted it as part of Vae Victis’s monthly paint-along, accessible through their Discord channel. You can find more info through their Patreon.

We finished that game a couple of years ago, but life happened. Better late than never.

This half-orc honors our tank, who wasn’t the best cook in the Shackles but excelled at smashing things. Spoon, we salute you!

MAKER MONDAY: This pin-up zombie has a fantastic pair of ... boots

This week in Maker Monday, Devon paints some breasts that, apparently, have a zombie attached to them.

We don’t know why this brain-eating night-stalker is so boobs-forward. It seems like the least efficient way to get to the tasty bits in someone’s skull, but we won’t judge. She’s clearly living her best unlife, and we’re here for it.

Miniature available through Vae Victis.
