Gibbering Mouther

Ah, Gibbering Mouther… The wonderful mini that gave me grey hairs!

If, like me, you dread painting eyes and mouths, this one will help. It didn’t entirely cure my fear of painting eyes, but I definitely view eyes as more approachable than I did before this project.

Not the most precise painting, but keep in mind this whole model is about the size of a bottle cap. In fact, the teeth are the weakest part of it and on the other identical mini I’ll paint them one by one, rather than brushing over and washing.

But for now, I’m moving on. One gibbering mouther at a time is more than enough. And I’m choosing my next model based on number of eyes – two at most.

Hi! My name is Dalliah Dae Dalindor! I am a purely fictitious character, but be warned that I travel aided by a human. I assume you know the kind, with all their sensitive feelings and such, so please be kind. As for me, I'm a young gnome from a peaceful land. A place I hope to return to for my first Life Celebration. Erm, do gnomes in your part of the world celebrate the 12 Life Cycles with a ceremony every 45 years? Not that a wandering gnome such as myself has much of a chance to experience her twelfth life cycle... But surely you're not here to hear about me. You must be here about the goats! So let me tell you about the goats. I mean, sure, the conjured snakes are the ones who made it into stories and their legend carried over the ages, but they were conjured and that's simple magic. The real heroes of the revolt were the goats. Hey, what are you doing? Keep up! You can walk and talk, right?! Kids in school said I'm tiny. But what I lack in height, I KNOW I make up in nose. Nothing is prettier on a gnome than a full, plump nose. Also some say I talk too much. Nonsense. Right, back to the goats and the upraising. Oh look, a berry! And it's even in my 5th favorite shade of purple, how lucky is that? Say, have you ever been to ...
