New here, but I've been watching the YouTube channel for a while and getting inspired. Anyway, I don't really have the time or friend group to game much at the moment, so I make custom monsters and send them to the DMs of the gaming group I used to be part of. (Super secretly, of course, so that the players are surprised!)
My stuff is made from cheap materials mostly, with the sorts of techniques DM Scotty uses regularly.
This one is my favorite: it's a giant mohrg that (somehow) got chopped in half and drags itself around by its arms, dragging its guts. I call it "Death Himself": I imagine the PCs first meeting some crazed NPC shrieking about seeing "Death Himself!!!" deep in the dungeon. The base is a dollar store skeleton garland from Halloween.
This is a Sun Giant for a desert campaign. It's based on a dollar store ninja figure, with the clothes mostly cheap dollar store craft foam (see the WIP shot below). The base has real sand on it.
The Sun Giant figure is meant to represent several giant guardians of a series of small pyramids, one of which was destroyed. I built the pyramid out of a dollar store sand toy, with dollar store foam board as stone blocks; I designed it to be both intact and destroyed. The sand is real sand, again.
Also for this desert campaign, I made a Crawling Apocalypse (it's from a 3.5 supplement). It's basically a kraken mummy. DM Scotty's Watcher in the Waters build helped me think this one through. The tentacles are foam curlers from the dollar store. I'm proud of the eyes, which are glass cabochons (I think that's what you call them). Wrapping it all in bandages took forever!
