Here is a simple slime monster I made. Unfortunatly I did not document the process, but it was fairly straight forward. I made the body and tentacles foundation with aluminum foil. Went over it generously with the glue gun. Added some beads here and there for a bubbles effect. Basecoated with black spray, painted it dark green and dry brushed with a lighter green. Finally a thick coat of wood varnish with a little green food-grade dye mixed in. This last step really made it shine and look all wet and slimy.

It's an effective finish and I like the beads-for-bubbles idea.

Wow, that slime looks really cool! Just love the shiny green finish. Hot glue can sometimes be pretty unruly, you did a really good job with it here. Nice work.

Woah, I'm really behind on posting minis here. The Blood Hawk This is another one of those odd monsters that doesn't seem to get a lot of attention. In the 2nd edition book, it doesn't even get its own illustration or description. But I like these guys. After watching the DM's craft video with the gore crows, I shopped around a bit until I found these figures on eBay. They have a few poses and a pretty nice sculpt to them. Just painted them and stuck them to the tine of a plastic fork for a flight stand. Had a hard time getting them in focus, so I might post a better picture later.

Plastic fork tines! Cool work!
I love the small gems like that in this hobby!

Thanks, I usually use a clear drinking straw, but the hawk's talons were too small. I tried these as an experiment.

Nice work! I thought they were D&D pre-painted figures. Was thinking of surfing e-Bay for some. Oops! Cheers!

I know, right? I kept imagining them perched in trees. I was considering using some for pheasants in hunting encounters.

The Cave Fisher This was one of my first polymer clay projects. I keep thinking about these guys and meaning to sculpt some new ones. I'm sure I could do a better job these days. I know I've shown these guys in one of my other threads, but hopefully this is a better photo. So I basically made a big wad of clay and carefully laid sheets of clay over it to create plates. Then I lightly textured the edges with...something...toothpick maybe? It was a while ago. Then the bug parts came from a set of dollar tree scorpions.

Nice! I’d be honored to slay them at my table!

Thanks, I've definitely gotten a lot of use out of them.

The Mobat This was a challenging figure to photograph. A while ago, I used some plastic mouse toys to make some Osquips (post is forthcoming) and I had a leftover mouse body. So, I thought, what the heck, I've always wanted a giant bat. The wings and tail are built from toilet paper roll that I heavily textured with hot glue, then I went over it again to get the larger boney structures. I also added the large ears the same way. I painted the underside of the wings the same color as the ears, but just couldn't get a good photo of it.

The dreaded Osquip I love these monsters. They're like the rat version of ogres. Not really sure if they made it to later editions (again, not a super popular or iconic critter). I made these with these odd dollar store mouse toys. I added the legs just by cutting off some from other toys. The teeth are tag board that I scored with a razor. A few extra delicate beads of hot glue and some other small modifications finished them off. The mouths unfortunately look a bit Howard the Duck.

You know, looking back at the dove models, if you added a proboscis, with like say a piece of toothpick, they would probably work for stirges.

I love the Osquip. It is probably their endearing smiles. OUTSTANDING WORK
