Stuffed Fables (Seasoned and Worn)

[odinsgrandson]

I've been playing Stuffed Fables lately- it is quite a nice dungeon crawler.  One of the things that drew me to the game were the fantastic miniatures.  Most of them are in that sweet spot between cute and creepy that comes out just brilliant.

When I'm painting my own sets of minis, I tend to avoid the official color schemes and instead look for ways in which I can reinterpret the sculpts with color.  For Stuffed Fables, I decided to try and make all of the stuffies and enemies look worn, dirty and used.  I think this fits in with the Velveteen Rabbit's concept of stuffed animals- they're real when they're stained and worn.  Overall, I feel like this made the minis look a little more like Wyrd's Malifaux minis than most versions of Stuffed Fables that I've seen.

So here they are.  I made these photos very large even though the minis are quite small (especially the Stuffies themselves).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update:
 

Plaid Hat Games released a Stuffed Fables Coloring Book.  Most of it is pictures of the characters, or even coloring book pages of their character sheets, but there are two new character sheets included.  So I decided to create these last two stuffies and finish my collection:

The dog is 100% green stuff, and is probably the smallest of the stuffy minis.

The giraffe uses a mix of green stuff and bits (the 'base model' is a Super Dungeon Giri, but he's been modified a lot).

Creepy toys!

Those are all dangerously adorable!

[Cicciopiu]

Splendid job you have done here!

This works really well - I agree that being worn makes them more 'real'. Great textures on the stuffies and all around great look - perfect cross between hyper-real cartoonish and grungy

You could use those for a wonderful boardgame. Just need a story around it and have some kids play their first game of Pen&Paper. I would so absolutely love to see that.

Exquisite fabric textures and metal weathering! Love the grimy hands on the last two characters.

[LarsM]

Wow! Textures are super Nice, and that girl is truly creepy. 

[Darcstaar]

Awesome!

That girl could pass for an official Linda Blair Exorcist mini!

Have you played Stuffed Fables?  It is pretty awesome (a bit less Pen and Paper and more Story Driven Dungeon Crawler).

[Kuroneko]

Wow, those are really awesome. Thank you so much for sharing them, I especially love the sad/murderous elephant 

 

**adds "Stuffed Fables" to the list of games to pick up**

No, that doesn't exist in Germany. (and on top of that, I haven't had time to play anything recently)

You got the balance between cute & creepy just right!

[KruleBear]

Nothing unique to add, but had to say how cool these are. The cloth texture in particular is beautifully executed. 

[Metalchaos]

Awesome work, you are so productive. There is so many cool technique displayed here, I'm in visual shock.
