I've been printing custom D&D miniatures for a campaign I was DMing. Pretty new to 3D printing but decided to share the models! You can find them here: makerworld.com/en/@thebrand...

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners:
Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!
