Hero Forge

You may have eventually realised for yourself that I have discovered Hero Forge. The point of the company is actually to make mini figures for playing Dungeons and Dragons. Every figure you design can be created by a 3d-printer in various materials, and can even be provided coloured! 

I have not actually ordered any of the figures, but I have found the application very useful in creating images of the characters in my stories. Here is a Hobbity Halfling called Toby who actually isn't in any of my stories, but maybe he should be as he seems very nice (much nicer than the Everquest II Halfling). 

Sometimes I even just play around with the attributes in the character creation software in order to develop the character for the story. It really is tremendous fun.

I have found it so useful I took out a subscription, which enables me to download a higher-resoultion image with no background (a PNG file). 

This enables me to plonk the character onto backgrounds in a graphics programme. Here's Toby again with no background, ready to be plonked into an adventure!

You will find Hero Forge renditions throughout this blog!
