Jimi was asked to give some garden gnomes a makeover. No problem! With his trusty 3D-printer, he fixed some snapped extremities and gave each gnome a fresh coat of (improved) paint.

Murderous madman
Before: Murderous gnome’s knife is broken!
Murderous madman gnome with hockey mask now has a repaired knife covered in blood dropplets
After: That’s better. Bloody knife reattached and “Evil Gnomes” highlighted amongst other improvements in shading and detail.
Angry gnome, giving the middle finger, has faded paint on his face and cap
Before: Faded and dull, this mean gnome is just misunderstood.
Angry gnome, sticking up his middle finger, is richly colored with a ginger beard, blue cap, and "Go Away" clearly written on a sign in front of him
After: Now this is an angry gnome! You can’t ignore his sign, his ginger beard, or his bright blue cap. GO AWAY!

Before: Angry? Maybe. Threatening? Nah.

After: LOOK OUT and say hello to his little friend! This gnome, with his salt-and-pepper beard and bright clothing, is ready to protect his stash.
The Gnomenator stands with pistol raised towards the ceiling. He wears dark glasses and has grey clothing along with a unzipped leather jacket revealing his pecs
Before: Gotta admit this Gnominator is a badass already, but…

After: Popping the detail with higher contrast, the upgraded Gnominator even has his designation, CSM-101 on his glasses. He’ll be back… in your garden.

Before: This gnomish master of Zen can only teach us so much with one of his middle fingers missing.
A refreshed gnome in a zen-like state, sits in the lotus position and gives us his wisdom -- two raised middle fingers
After: Now his true teachings can begin, with his restored finger and higher contrast coating of paint.

A bust of a horned female with cowl. She is wearing shoulder pauldrons and robe. She is holding an orb in one hand and casting a fire spell in the other. She has a harness that connects to the pauldrons and belt, where she has a pouch and a light teal potion.

Is this cultist a tiefling or just wearing a badass mask with horns? Either way, this 75mm bust was 3D printed and painted by Jimi, who likes his dragon cultists to be wise.

Close up of a Christmas ornament hung on a lit Christmas tree. The ornament is a round, angry green monster with 4 yellow eyes, of various sizes, and a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth and a lolling purple tongue with white warts

It’s just an ordinary ornament. What harm can it… OH MY GOD!

Even holidays aren’t free from the mimic menace. They add danger and adventure for the family who unwrap their Christmas presents under the tree.

headless horseman

Pumpkin Knight, the guardian of all that is spooky, asks that you no longer call him “headless.” Clearly, he has a head, and it’s a pumpkin. There is nothing funny about a pumpkin-head, and it is scary. Stop laughing.

The background is a googled scary road image. Miniatures were printed with plans from Thingiverse and printed on Anycubic Photon S.

A bust of an female elf with braided hair dressed in green garb and with a quiver of blue feathered arrows.

A bit of different style of figurine, this Elfin Ranger is a bust that Jimi printed (on a Photon S 3D printer) for a friend. The original file was downloaded from Thingiverse.

A figurine of a rubbery, green troll with matted, black hair.

Straight from the Underdark well in the Yawning Portal, this troll is mean and hungry. Will it be satisfied with the quipper and chips, or is it looking forward to munching on an unfortunate halfling? This figurine is 3D-printed, airbrushed, with details in those hard-to-reach spots brush-painted.

It’s gross, but is it too gross? Not if you’re a DM and want to scare the bejeezus out of your players when you set a couple of these down in front of them. We’re pretty sure you want to keep a good 6ft distance from one of these guys.

This was printed with resin and painted by Jimi, from a file from https://www.thingiverse.com/.

A figurine of an brown owlbear on a green base

Is it an owl? Is it a bear? Yes! But it’s so cute! How can it be dangerous? Imagine those toe beans smacking an unsuspecting ranger.

Figurine printed on a Anycubic Photon S with a file from Thingiverse.

Figurine of a night goblin, with red eyes and pointy teeth, holding two blue steel daggers

A toothy night goblin for your favorite d20 game. If their teeth don’t scare you, their numbers will! We just fought sixteen of these little devils in our last adventure!

Figurine printed on a Anycubic Photon S.
