Inktober Roundup

 Hi!

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks as I've been away on my hols and haven't had access to my laptop to post my progress on Inktober 2023.

So without further ado, here's the second half of the month's progress:




























Its a bit of an image dump but its been a really good project to work through! I'm planning on making some more papertech in the coming weeks and I'm thinking of doing a revamp to my Battletech stuff as well as some Rogue Trader themed gubbins too!

I've still got a few days of hols left so I'll see what I can get painted up before returning to work but in the meantime, All the best!

Inktober 2023: Papercraft RPG Characters Days 9-14

 Hi!

Here's the next updates to my ongoing Inktober challenge:

Day 9: Bounce


I must admit I was initially at a loss with what to do for day 9's prompt but settled on a pair of bouncing pugilistic Kangaroos to act as somewhat different fighters than the more usual fare one see's in fantasy encounters.

Day 10: Fortune


Day 10 saw the addition of a pair of fortune tellers to add interest and cryptic pronouncements to encounters.

Day 11: Wander


Day 11's Wander set my back a bit too as I had already done a bunch of wandering adventurer types so I ended up going for some wandering bards who will entertain with music and song, before robbing you blind.

Day 12: Spicy 


Day 12's Spicy prompt saw meheading more into sci-fi territory and creating a pair of spice addicted crazies with added tech implants and respirators spewing out spice smoke.

Day 14: Rise


As I already had a pair of zombies, I decided to portray a duo of sketchy necromancers, off to raid the local cemetery and raise a horde of skeletal minions.
 

The Inktober challenge has been really fun, and at times quite difficult to get going but I feel that as I approach the half way point, I seem to be getting into the swing of things and my next addition will be a big guy! 

In other news, GW has announced that they have a print on demand offer going on their website for a reprinted Rogue Trader rulebook which is rather exciting (and about time too!). Hopefully we'll see more offerings like it going forward as there's a huge market for old school GW books and it would be awesome to see their other books of the era getting reprinted too but more on that tomorrow!

I've got a few days left at work and then I've got some much needed holidays and I plan on delving into some much needed hobby time before I head back to work and the madness of Christmas so fingers crossed, I'll be posting daily updates of a bit of a project I've been pondering for a while now.

In the meantime, All the best!

Inktober 2023: Papercraft RPG Characters Days 7 and 8: Drip and Toad

 Hi!

Here's the next two days of my Inktober challenge and I've been concentrating on making some monsters for my last two prompts!

First up, there's a pair of soggy zombies, dripping wet from the briny depths and prepared to be a shambling menace.


I'm actually tempted to print out a few extra of these little guys to give my adventurers some low level foes to smoosh when the time comes.


The second prompt is for Toad and following trying to make some toad versions of the Slann, I settled upon some Troll Toads:


I really like how the two turned out and they may be my favourite creations thus far as they've got a lot of character!

I'll need to see what I can come up with for the rest of my challenge and I've also got some odds and ends in the process of getting painted up for some Planet 28 shenanigans which should be fun once I've got them finished.

I'm also in the process of reading through my copy of Dracula's America which seems to be a really nice little game thats been sat in my collection since it first came out and I've never done anything with it.

We shall see if it manages to get some use but it's been an interesting ruleset to peruse with some really simple but effective concepts.

In the meantime, All the best!
