Tabaxi Male Bard

thingiverse

I'm itching to print another miniature, but my printer remains out of commission. Inspired by a fascinating article about bards' impressive capabilities due to their diverse skills and potent spell casting, I created this Drobaxi - a half-elf with mixed heritage from the Drow elf and tabaxi breeds. To accurately depict his appearance, I'll paint his skin a deep grey or blue hue and adorn his mane with white streaks interspersed with black or blue, reminiscent of a panther's coat. The hair at his knees, elbows, and tail will be predominantly white as well, possibly complemented by lighter tones on his belly and muzzle. Armed with a rapier and wrist crossbow, the latter might not translate well to this miniature size, so we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. Given cats' natural protective instincts, I've opted to depict him clad in minimal armor, relying instead on his fur for defense against light attacks and environmental elements. To increase this Drobaxi's intelligence, I made some adjustments after attaching the legs and performing minor editing on the original model to give him a lion-like appearance. I then saved it as a separate file, allowing me to transform him into various tabaxi male personas, such as a barbarian or knight. A similar transformation is in store for the female tabaxi model I created, so keep an eye out for an update on that one!
