Along with working on sets of monster minis, I've been converting our D&D party into paper as well. The first two are printed, assembled and ready for action! Grougon, my fighter, and Kiwi the monk! (I totally borrowed Kev's remarkable "sliding" base template for the heroes.)
We're doing some gaming this afternoon, I'm excited to take my new minis for a test-drive.

Ok, I feel stupid saying this but I can't help myself: All of these manga style weapons with huge fat blades and scrawny little hilts are COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
errrr . . .Please consider moderating your blade width in the future.
Thanks.
I know, you drew an anthropomorphic reptile and birdman and what I find unbelievable is the weapons. It's dumb, I said I felt stupid saying it, but it did need to be said.
I'm a professional stage fighting instructor and when I'm not gaming or card modelling I'm at youtube watching Lindybeige, Skallagrim and Scholagladiatoria so I know I am more sensitive than most.

errrr . . .Please consider moderating your blade width in the future. Thanks. NEVAR! THE BLADES WILL ONLY GET MOAR WEABOO! The focus of these figures is on silhouette and character over ANY kind of reasonable physics. If I think a sword the size of a Buick will match a character's personality, then they're going to wield a sword the size of a Buick.

I just try to cram as many minis on a page as a I can so I don't waste paper and I let the silhouette people figure out how to lay it out for their stuff, Mostly because I don't have one and I'm jealous! but don't tell anyone LOL

To state the obvious: if you want to be kind, line up as many fold lines as possible so one lone score and fold gets many figures. You should be able to get two rows of 30mm figures on a landscaped sheet. If you have an especially tall figure on the top line, you might fit an especially short one underneath, or try to stagger them a bit.

Well I got a bit impatient and did a bit of amateur formatting myself so I could see how these racked up against some of the others in my collection. I reckon they go particularly well with this itinerant fellow...... Plus I couldn't wait any longer to have a "kung-fu kiwi" available!! You never know when one of them is going to be needed in your game!!!!

okumarts - your "fighter with sword and torch" is my go-to figure when trying to print things to scale (Derek the Delver, I call him). Here's how he looks alongside chiefasaur's

I was really surprised as to exactly how good yours and okumarts' minis went together. The art style or colouring (or something) is obviously more similar than first appeared..... And as far as I am concerned, David's figures are the gold standard for paper miniatures, so you are in very good company!!!

And as far as I am concerned, David's figures are the gold standard for paper miniatures, so you are in very good company!!! You're right, I didn't see the similarities until you did a side-by-side. Thanks for doing that! I think the main difference is Okumarts includes significantly more detail on the interior of his minis, with a wonderful, illustrative style, while I try to push as much character as possible into the silhouette, but that's just my education in animation taking over But, I think on the tabletop, the our various minis would be totally compatable. And thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, it means a lot to me.
