As an alternative to the thread that I've been tired of since the first bit of rubbish was replied to the OP, I thought I'd post a link to the little diorama I've been working on, inspired by PF #4.
I'd prefer we not speculate on the lifestyle of any of the figures shown, despite the fact that one of them is obviously a bear.
Very cool. I like the bear too.
And all of us are forced to use minis as stand ins for the figures we don't have.
Totally rocking diorama.
Excellent diorama! How long did it take you to finish construction/painting? From the look of it, you've got a photograph as the backdrop; it really gives the scene a feeling of depth.
I have to admit, the bear is also my favorite minature. That pose is terrific, and you did a great job with the paint.

Most of the humanoid figures I've been working on whenever I've had weekends free from lessonplanning since the beginning of the school year (four of them, plus the little dinosaur, are PCs in my RotRL game). As the school year comes closer to ending, the need for stress relief grows greater, so I've been painting more and more- the stone giant was last weekend's project, and this weekend I knocked out the dire bear. The base is one of the terrains I made last summer, and the backdrop I found with a Google image search.
Next up is painting the White Dragon from Grenadier's 1984 Dragon Lords series, which I've always noticed bears an uncanny resemblance to this guy.

Not to threadjack, but: It's pretty amazing how much a little Dungeons & Dragons helps deal with the stress of teaching, isn't it? I keep trying to come up with a workable method to run a campaign for the kids (particularly since I work at a boarding school), but, apart from that, it's a great way to unwind after grading a stack of garbage produced by hormone-crazed children. Hail to my teaching homies everywhere!

The only game I'm running right now is for the kids at my high school. I wish we had more time to game, because it's great on many levels for all of us, but it's really tough finding a Saturday when they're all free and I can drag my sorry butt out of bed to run seven hours of D&D. I'm hoping when we're on summer break to be able to run maybe three sessions every two weeks.
D&D has always been the perfect escape from the stress of school- back in high school and college it was there to help me ignore teachers, and now that I teach it's there to help me forget about students. Thanks, D&D! :)
Very cool! Thank you for sharing.
