Any monster will do, although it should be a proper <strong>MONSTER<\/strong>, something big and mean. I mean something truly beastly; like a cockatrice or a byakhee or a giant, mutated zombie bear. Your monster(s) doesn\u2019t have to be strictly a fantasy miniature, and it may be any scale and from any manufacturer. I will link to your stuff throughout the month, and (if it\u2019s not there already) add your blog\/website\/social media to the blogroll on the side! If you don\u2019t have a site of your own and still want to participate, I\u2019ll happily host your pictures here and ensure you get proper attribution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many monsters you paint is up to you. The minimum is one, of course; but feel free to do as many as you like. The only caveat is that they get painted sometime in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-1011x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5792\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-1011x1024.jpg 1011w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-296x300.jpg 296w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-768x778.jpg 768w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-1517x1536.jpg 1517w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6-624x632.jpg 624w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-wyvern6.jpg 1987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blacksting the Wyvern, from Monster May(hem) 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait!
