I also have some really old #oldhammer paper buildings from waaay back that I'm thinking of assembling to build out the Traitor's Toll town. Nothing like finishing a project 35 years after you picked it up.

I definitely lean towards spending way more time on graphic design than I need to or should, though. Partly it's just fun, even though I'm mediocre at it.

The downside is you really don't want to get attached to mechanics just because you like some graphic design thing.

One thing I've done recently (only took decades) was to shy away from White + Black for eyes. Went with a pale sand and red leather for these halflings. Red leather might be a little too muted, but in general the lower contrast looks much better.

Most of my miniatures have had raccoon eyes.

The reprints have a slightly larger form factor, at least compared to the US versions I used to have, which is nice!
