Community Print 3D Print of Iain Lovecraft's Feywood print and paint competition

In a land nearby, from a time long ago, is a place full of dark and treacherous magic - Mesa. This land is home to the Tamnar Forest, the source of the magic that sweeps through the land. The forest consumes all of the Eastern marsh, from the mountains to the coast, dividing the cities of Aryland and Dukeville. Cities began to feud over the resources of the forest and its magic, dividing the people, and causing war. As the battles continued in the cities, some warriors began to love and admire the forest. They vowed to protect the forest’s magic and secrets at all costs. What are they protecting? The abundance of resources that the forest offers, such as precious life-giving plants. Among those plants are Building sized mushrooms that provide magical strength and resilience to warriors for battling the toughest dragons. The forest became aware and began to create mimic mushrooms to protect itself. Although they appear to be the same to the average person, they do the exact opposite. The forest also knew that its guardians would need life and created a way for the two mushrooms to be differentiated: an ominous glow on the poisonous variety that can only be seen by a select few. These mushrooms are a close resemblance to the Amanita Muscaria Fungus, which are in fact poisonous but death is rare. From Lain Lovecraft’s Feywood, This is the Toadcap. The toadcap was printed on the Elegoo Mars 2 MMF Edition, with a .05mm layer thickness, and a hollowed infill. There is no airbrushing involved and is painted with only craft store acrylic paints. 4 main colors are used and blended to paint shadows and light. With all of my terrain, there are secrets that are revealed to my group of friends. Disguised in the paint job are UV and glow reactive paints. Our DM only uses this for certain interest points in our campaigns, and are a serious hit to the evening. Following the entry rules there is nothing additionally added to enhance the model - no fake turf, minis, or additional items. Our fantasy is usually a wet, rugged forest, or ocean setting, unlike the real life desert out my front door. We are submitting 4 entries to the contest: 3 Toadcaps painted by my 11 year old daughter Arilynn, my beautiful wife Amanda, and mine, as well as the Tower that I printed and painted in a 48hr period.
