No monsters from me yet (big surprise), but I did paint this guy, who is obviously not a monster and does not count, but I thought I’d share him anyway. I paint a piper for every 100 posts I do in Instagram. This is my ninth piper, even though I have 800 posts, because my first post was a piper, too. Maybe I’ll post them all here sometime.
Incidentally, I’ve got some problems with this guy. First, he’s 3D printed. Second, he was digitally sculpted by someone who has no idea what a bagpiper looks like. This posture is appalling and unmanageable. Look at a photo, man. There’s a reason we use a cord to bind the drone pipes together. And lastly, the flames. The fucking flames.
Anyway, it’s a week into Monster May(hem), and here’s what you may have missed, First our list of participants this year. It’s still not too late to jump in, so I expect this list will get longer!
- Simon, from Fantorical, has started work on a Banderhobb, a creature I am unfamiliar with but undeniably monstrous!
- Dave, from Wargames Terrain Workshop
- Roger, from Rantings From Under the Wargames Table
- Azazel, from Azazel’s Bitz Box
- Tom, from Good Ground
- Tim, from The Safe Hole (a newcomer to the site! Welcome!)
And from Instagram:

That’s it so far, but like I said, I have a few people who want to participate but can’t fully commit. And I can’t blame them. There are a lot of challenges run by lots of people out there. You gotta pick and choose which ones appeal to you most, and I’m always a big proponent of trying new stuff. So, if you want to give Monster May(hem) a pass in favor of something else, no sweat! It’ll be here next year!
Check back soon. I’ll update as we go!
