This one took about an hour from start to finish. If nothing else, this guy's got some real personality to him! #gobtober #day8 #shaman #ttrpg #goblin

Super quick one for #Gobtober #Day7 today because I’m traveling. Still, I really like this lil’ bugger!

Amazing work! Great tune, brilliant video (with great art and animation), and just lots of fun! Thank you for sharing it with us

#Gobtober #Day6 - #warrior - it didn’t turn out quite how I wanted. I started with the idea of silly / ridiculous in my head (bada$$ pose, but you know, goblin), but he was having none of it. Even with his goofy arms / armor, lil dude seems like a bada$$ to me. Needs more detail.

This one is really old, but I’ve always liked it. Simple is sometimes better than complex.

Nice!

Man those look really great, bud!

...and I'm caught up!

Here's my entry for #Day5 of #Gobtober - the prompt is #Hunted , and this guy pairs with day 4's hunter!

(Though it JUST occurred to me that I failed to add the tear to his cloak that I'd intended since the hunter was sniffing some cloth. Maybe later?)

Got a little behind in my #Gobtober images because I've been very fortunate with family get togethers.

But I'm working to catch up. Here's yesterday's image. #Day4 #Hunter

Now I'll work on Today's image, which will go with this one. So keep an eye out!

Day 3 of Gobtober is in the books! The prompt is "Alchemist".

This lil' guy may have caused a problem...

Gobtober 2025 - Day 2 - Sneaky

Late posting this, but it was done in plenty of time. Just had some issues editing the video (which is on my YouTube / TikTok).

Here's my entry for Day 1 of #gobtober 2025. The prompt is straightforward for this one (Goblin). I think that's the right move to get things started.

A past embroidery commission I forgot to share on here... an aerial view of an equestrian farm somewhere in America! This was such a lovely landscape is embroider: the horse fields and red farm houses are so pleasing :) such a soothing green landscape 💚
