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.

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 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 female samurai with a red circle on her head and her dress partially down showing her bare breasts. She kneeling on bamboo flooring holding a katana with another sheathed. She is kneeling by ornamental details, such as a bell and lantern.

Here we have a figure for a more mature audience. This Asian female warrior kneels down for a solemn ceremony, complete with fine details like a bell and lantern.
