3D Printing & Painting Contest: Aberrations!
This month's theme for the 3D printing & painting contest will be Aberrations! Got a beholder you want to show off? Maybe a mindflayer ready for the the world to see? Now its time to let these creepers shine!
Rules are as follows:
Post your submission below with an image url. Imgur preferred. Please don't use instagram as I can't download images from there.
One submission per patron from any tier
One creature per submission, though swarms of one creature are fine.
Dioramas are welcome
Only use my files though remixes are welcome
You have until 11:59 23 Feb 2022 to post here then I'll make a poll where you will decide the winner! Prizes are:
1st - a custom mini 3D modeled, printed and painted by me!
2nd & 3rd - a custom 3D modeled mini
4th & beyond - a sticker by Jen! Last month's are in the mail now.
With that good luck folks! I can't wait to see what you post!

I'd like to request a male dragonborn Lich in a hooded robe with a staff, please! I have only seen human Liches and I have a twist in my campaign.

My almost late submission: the Elder Brain Dragon! (It's an abberation, I checked) https://imgur.com/gallery/TGqvc4j

This is one of my first printed and painted models, I know its pretty basic, but I'm proud of it, hope you like my Chuul https://imgur.com/gallery/H7bhelj
Just barely was able to enter in this contest. Super busy month but as the mindflayer was my first model ever…. I was glad to revisit him. https://imgur.com/gallery/VRQOJXx
I remixed a few creatures to create a new abberation. The Oblivion Angler. Created using purple worm body, trogdolyte arms, beholder stalks, and a nothic face/eye. Got into it and wrote up a stat block as well. Learned a little bit more about painting along the way too. Enjoy! https://imgur.com/gallery/7zSp077

Got called into work early, didn’t get a chance to get a solo shot or a finish. But here’s my mimic master. Will post in back of it in discord tomorrow for fun. https://imgur.com/a/wM4uwgv **updated from other sides

https://imgur.com/gallery/AY4Df20 Hi all! Newer patron, participating for the first time! This is only my fourth time painting a figure (second time at d&d mini scale) and I'm pretty happy with it. Admittedly, the Eye Wyrm is a pretty amazing canvas to start off with haha Excited to see everyone's when they're all submitted!

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to paint another MZ beholder-kin, and I conveniently had it printed so I can run LMoP. So, behold, the Spectator! https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7dYmnG9O_-TPFZ4UsMdRKNPE9gU42UZJ16yRNrCAnBbWVShmjBi5KTTF59GwAiL58wFd0XXpO51YXtFC1rwFApHDRc3kM-NMbQYSMQ7bO4esvQPSU4NMgC4CXXbZiYRDsDcqwVW1qVgZqAbyGDvfIOJKN6vZ305JlNPK2E6dbPVfFvrTTEBBr8qi4=s1036
I like your eyes! How did you create this effect?
I've only been painting for about 2 months and printing for 1 month. I am loving it. Here is my Mindflayer I just recently printed and painted. Let me know if it's not viewable. https://photos.app.goo.gl/VQ4qEYVcCdq2Ey4U9
Wow there are some awesome paint jobs here! Not sure if mine really holds up, but I painted this Balhannoth to match the painting in the background my daughter made for me https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rx5l8uhpwJJDMBvnVpblzNJJy5N3erN5/view?usp=drivesdk Let me know if it's not viewable
Good paint job! We are all doing this for fun =D

That's rad!
Oooh heres my chance to print a aboleth!
LOL think that was the 2nd mz model I printed :)
I don't use Imgur - does this Google Photos link work? Sorry the pics aren't with a nice clean dark background, but this was one of my first mini prints and I gifted it to the cleric of our then-current campaign (a few months ago) as the beholder we came across took her out VERY quickly...we managed to get her body back to town and resurrected, so thus the funky base with "Magalyn...she's baaaa-ack" on it :) Hopefully the pics work...they don't really show off the glossy, wet eyes and such, but hey it's for fun! :-) https://photos.app.goo.gl/U1Mh7hNjHzTEu5Pa7 Thanks, Kev
Yup it works!
