I'm very excited with how these fungi turned out. All Reaper paints. I was really happy with the colorful mushrooms on this one. I'm always a little worried about getting too much of a rainbow effect, but I think it worked well here. I 3D printed the smaller stalagmite bases. For the larger one I 3d printed parts of the base and then used green stuff to make the water channels. Very happy with this one. The stalagmites on the left are all 3d printed but I cut them apart and made more own base. I'm happy with the strong color transitions on the crystals on the right, but overall I think it looks very unrealistic. I'm particularly happy with how the eyes turned out on the big guy.

Howdy, This one sounds off like a barbershop quartet... Sing it, Kev!

This field guide to mushrooms has sentimental value for me; learned to read by flipping through the pictures and looking at the edibility tags. Seemed right to use as a reference for these mushroom folk (44056). The fellow with the buck teeth and upraised fists didn't particularly speak to me, so I just painted the other two. Miss Hypholoma! Very pretty and delicate. The little flakes on the umbo are more Amanita-style, but everyone does those. More angles: And Li'l Shaggymane! A comical fellow. A conical fellow! Got to have fun with Graveyard Bone--and GW's Shyish Purple, for the slimy drippy bits. More angles:

Howdy, Get down, get fungi... Kev!

Howdy, Shroomage... Kev!

Painted up these little guys. They are pretty funny. I might use them as creatures encountered in the Feywild.

Just finished the Mi-Go from the black goat faction and thought I would put up pictures of them and the cultists and ghouls I finished before. C&C always appreciated!

Howdy, For my final day of International Mini Painting Month I present another Fungi from the Frostgrave, Enter the Breeding Pits Expansion... Until next November, Kev!

I have had this one on my desk for a while and finally just went for it. I am going to use it to represent gas spores and shriekers on the table.

After sitting half-finished for years, I rounded these guys up and completed them after seeing Ganesha Games start their "Fightin' Fungi!" Kickstarter. I think the two sets will blend...I may have to round them out further when the Bones versions of these fellows hit.

I am considering an adventure for my local group that will involve some extended underground travel. It's a custom campaign so there's no Underdark and what not, but there will be some shriekers, mycanoids, and other plant based life in addition to some traditional underground dwelling critters. To that end I have begun a project to make some fungi to place on the map. The plan for the first one was simply an ovoid on a vertical stalk (like a bush) with irregular growth. I added a toothpick to a plastic base and trimmed it at the max height I wanted for this large fungus. Then using superglue and sand I built up the tip of the toothpick with sand. Once I had a core I added ballast to the outside using superglue and sand to cement it all together. I then knocked off a couple of small chunks of ballast to maintain the irregular shape. Voila, a large green ovoid fungus that will exhale spores into a chamber as a natural trap to create some carrion to grow on. (side note to self: disassemble a skeleton to "grow" a fungus from) I added more ballast to a section of the ovoid and the ground. This will be a separate organism / parasite that is growing onto the ovoid. So after filling the parasite with a bit of glue to blur the organism into itself, I painted it orange and then back on the ovoid I painted in the raised sections white and then filled the interior of that with a purple. See ... at this point I had forgotten something ... adding the Glow in the Dark medium to the paints. So angry. The next step was to continue introducing paint to increase the texture contrast and make the white/purple into "caps" around the sides of this ovoid while leaving a lot of the base ovoid "exposed". When next we see the ovoid again, you'll see some lining around the "caps," mottling on the base ovoid and a wash to add more shadows to the parasite organism.
