Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

[DeafNala]

These all fit so wonderfully with your existing stuff.

Thanks, Fram...I think they have that certain Nuts Look to them that will fit nicely with the rest of the Loonies also.

Also, yay for an update. For your compouter, perhaps you need to consult a nefarious cryptomancer. We all know computers are only fixed through shady deal in parking lots built over ancient burial grounds.

GREAT IDEA! There's an Old Cemetery down the road from here....all I need is the prerequisite chicken to sacrifice.

I was over on C.M.o.N. when I spied this Mushroom & Goblin piece in 1:1 scale from Industria Mechanika (for a mere $135). It's a WONDROUS Thing that may be the inspiration for yet another Mushroom Variant:



...cool,eh!?

A giant mushroom with mushrooms growing on it! Or a mushroom house!

Actually, I have a few Mushroom Houses where the Witches in the Shanty Town & the Three Sisters Islet in the Great Swamp of Gwahr. Then there's the still W.I.P. Tower of Temerity O'Leery:







...I don't know if I ever posted these here before. Yhanks for the idea, von Lucky!
Be that as it may, I have two experimental Mushrooms underway that should look vaguely like the Industria one...kind of.

I spy a kitty :3

Actually I don't have a cat. Damnit, the fuzzy fellow in the picture, is Neighbor Tom's cat. HOWEVER, Damnit has decided that I'm his person. SO, we have come to an understanding that he can come here for food, affection, & a place to rest for his evenings on the Town. In turn he allows moi to feed, care, & provide shelter for him...he really is a lovable little rogue.

Sounds like an excellent deal...  .
Like the Mushroom Goblin, a great source of inspiration.

It does seem to be a fine arrangement all around. Damnit is presently occupying most of my couch/bed. He leaves behind enough fur to build up my resistance to dander...he feels he deserves treats for that.

I have the stem & face sculpted on the first of two trial Mushrooms. Thus far it is lookin' good & somewhat more robust that the other Mushrooms.

This si a Gian mushroom!  Very nice staff, very Baba-Yaga style.

Thanks for the reply, randy! The Tower is 30" high...that is rather gigantic I'd say.
I was going to say that the Goblin & Mushroom duo looked kind of Brian Froud, but they're not really in that style. The spook part is, looking at their mouths & teeth, they could be genetically linked...which came first the Goblin or the Mushroom?

[DeafNala]

SO...I have the first two prototype Industria Mechanika inspired Mushrooms sculpted & ready for paint:

One sculpted & one underway:




...AND now there are two:


There you go. 

[Hobgoblin]

Tremendous sculpts!

[DeafNala]

Tremendous sculpts!

Thanks, Hobgoblin. I appreciate the reply; AND I'm delighted you like them!

[FramFramson]

OOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!

These broader mushrooms are departure, but not only do they work fine, they still fit well with all your other stuff. Great faces and expressions on those ones - I think you're so used to cramming enough expression in the smaller ones that with this much space to use you've can add that much more character.

New toadstools are tremendous.
