Discussion Database of Paper Mini Creators and Sources

35 Upvotes

People have previously asked for a list or database of people who make paper minis. I've thrown together this list so we can add and share. Definitely let me know if you would like any new fields, changes, etc.

For now, this is just for sources/creators, not for individual products. (That may come at a later time.) I also will be considering how best to add thumbnails/previews later. (It's not a technical issue, but a "what to ask for" one.)

View what's in the database: https://airtable.com/shr2f2IFzlxIr8P6L

Submit to the database: https://airtable.com/shrsOW3eNFMal9i1k

At this time, do not include board games that include standees. That is covered on BGG with this great filter. (If you find a board game that isn't marked, earn some geekcoins and submit updates.) BGG Family: Components - Standees

Other fields I considered, but decided is probably too much effort... What do you think? What about other characteristics in art traits ("pixel art")?

  • Genre(s): Fantasy, Sci-fi, Western, Historical...
  • Also makes: Maps, adventures, etc

If you're not fond of this list, please comment to explain why. (Reddit is reporting a considerable percentage of downvotes, but no one has said anything indicating why that might be.)


EDITS. If I revised fields, I'll need update submissions to get the new data.

  • I changed the URL field from 1 entry to multiple lines.
  • I added a new "pay methods" traits: "accepts commissions", "commercial use available".

Paper Miniature Shroomtober #3 & #4: Meet the Porcini Porter and the Morel Sage! Two more mushroomfolk paper miniatures πŸ„ [OC]

36 Upvotes

My little Shroomtober colony keeps growing! πŸ„

For this year's Inktober-inspired challenge, I'm creating 13 mushroomfolk paper miniatures before Halloween, each inspired by a different mushroom species, with its own silhouette, personality and role in the colony.

After the friendly Amanita Shroomfolk and the golden Chanterelle Forager, here are the next two members!

πŸ„ #3 – Porcini Porter

Someone has to carry all those berries home!

A short, round, sturdy fellow with a broad brown cap, tiny legs and an enormous sack over his shoulder.

He's the strongest back in the forest, and possibly the kindest heart. He carries everything the colony needs, from freshly gathered berries to firewood and whatever strange treasures the others find in the woods.

He's not particularly fast, but he's dependable, endlessly patient and always happy to lend a hand. Just don't ask him to hurry!

πŸ„ #4 – Morel Sage

Old as the forest, wise as its roots, and just a little forgetful.

Nobody remembers when the Morel Sage first appeared in the colony. His tall, honeycombed cap has weathered countless seasons, and his mossy beard has been growing for longer than most Shroomfolk have been alive.

Leaning on his crooked wooden staff, he wanders the forest sharing ancient wisdom, forgotten stories and occasionally rather questionable advice.

He knows every secret path and every tale the trees have ever whispered. Unfortunately, he sometimes forgets which story he was telling. 😁

As with the previous characters, I've drawn both from different angles and turned them into double-sided paper miniatures, designed to be easy to print, cut out and use on the tabletop.

I'm really enjoying the challenge of giving each mushroom species a distinctive silhouette while keeping the designs simple enough to work at miniature scale.

4 down, 9 to go!

I've included the character sheets and paper miniature versions in the images.

What do you think of these two? And which mushroom species would you like to see join the colony next?

Do you know where to get or even buy some papercraft files with this tower design? I will use it in wargames/rpg space opera games, but I don't think anything similar

Paper Miniature Shroomtober: My Inktober-inspired paper minis challenge. Meet the first two mushroomfolk! πŸ„

Thumbnail
gallery
55 Upvotes

Last October, I challenged myself to draw a paper miniature every day for Goblintober. Somehow, I ended up with a complete 31-goblin warband! This summer, I did something similar with a smaller group of gnomes.

So this October, I'm back with Shroomtober! πŸ„

The idea is simple: create 13 original, double-sided paper miniatures before Halloween, all inspired by different real-world mushrooms.

Rather than another traditional warband, I'm building a little woodland community, with villagers, gatherers, guards, adventurers and perhaps a few magic users.

Here are the first two:

πŸ„ #1 – Amanita Shroomfolk: The basic mushroomfolk. No armour, no weapons, no trousers. Just a friendly little mushroom with arms, enormous feet and a smile.

πŸ„ #2 – Chanterelle Forager: Inspired by the golden chanterelle, with its distinctive wavy cap and a basket full of freshly gathered berries.

I'm keeping the drawings deliberately simple, with different silhouettes for each mushroom species, and turning each character into a printable, double-sided paper mini.

I've included both the original character sheets and the paper miniature versions in the images.

Two down, eleven to go!

I'd love to hear what you think, especially whether the designs work well as paper minis. And if you have a favourite mushroom species that deserves to become a character, I'm open to suggestions! πŸ„

Looking for tabletop paper miniature collections (PDF)

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to expand and improve my tabletop paper miniature collection, and I’d love to see what other people have collected over the years.

If you have a PDF collection of printable tabletop/paper miniatures that you’re willing to share, I’d really appreciate it if you could post or send me a link to it. Fantasy, sci-fi, monsters, NPCs, characters, terrain, or anything else would be welcome!

I’m mainly interested in collections that are legally free to share or that you have permission to distribute.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to contribute! I’d love to discover some new miniature sets and build up a bigger library for my games.

Hi there,

My players are gonna face a certain white moose next week in some kind of icy windy dale.
And since there is not enough creepiness in that encounter just talking animals, I'm adding a bit of body horror. Each mini also comes with a back view and is available in six color variations.

For this set and many more, please take a look at my Patreon.

My tiers range from $1 to $3, and you gain access to over 300 miniatures.
New ones are released in sets each month.

Cutout Village is a relaxing indie city-builder about building, crafting, and a village slowly coming back to life. Set against the backdrop of rural depopulation, you’ll build and customize a small medieval-inspired village using paper sheets that you’ll cut, fold, and glue together to create buildings, services, and decorative elements.

Request Converting World of Warcraft models into paper minis

10 Upvotes

Greetings.

I'm aware there is some posts asking about means to create your own paper minis, some with amazing hints and tips, but i'd like to ask a question: do any of you, gentle fellas, know a good mean to convert World of Warcraft models into paper minis?
For example:
https://www.wowhead.com/npc=9028/grizzle#modelviewer
I would love to have a dire troll creature, like the one from the link, as a proper paper mini for my RPG game but my skills on image edition are, well, lacking to put it mildly.
That said, any hint or tip would be really welcome.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the poor English.
