globs of the Blob

the other night i had a moment where i was like i want to work on the next
Perilous Tales scenario.
i have been wanting to do the Blob villain scenario for the game for some time now.
i had a good idea of how to do it and i was going to do the globs of the Blob like i did
my oozes for Dungeon and Dragons.


i asked Rita if she wanted to help out and so we had a craft day making blobs.
i had her make small little globs using just regular hot glue.
straight from the hot glue gun to a sheet of wax paper.
there bigger ones had hot glue put on and then dipped into cold water to create some form
of a living blog of mass.

so i mapped out a diagram of how many of each type of globs i need to play the scenario.
after messing up on a little glob, i settled for one less needed because at that point i was
getting tired and wanted to clean up before bed.


the next morning i took them out and sprayed white primer on them and let them dry
for a few hours.
then in the afternoon i added watered down pink and red acrylic paint like the cheap
Folk Art paint from the craft store.
i tried to be creative using some pictures from the 1988 movie as a reference.
after they were dried, and gave all the globs a nice bath of Nuln Oil to steep in the crevices
and nooks on the figures.
after that all was dried i gave them all a nice high gloss spray finish.

in the Blob scenario of Perilous Tales, there are three different globs of the Blob.
if you find the main villain, the Blob and destroy it, it'll break down into smaller versions
of itself called Flabby Pseudopods.
and if you destroy those they break down into even smaller versions of themselves
called, Probing Tentacles.


the main villain, the Blob.


Flabby Pseudopods.


Probing Tentacles.

after doing this little project,
i might make some other kinds of oozes for Dungeons and Dragons.
all i have at the moment is the black puddings,
i need to expand my collection of oozes for the better of the D&D group. haha!!

  1. Excellent tutorial, it's always good to see hand crafted stuff.
    And yes, you absolutely should make more oozes, slimes and jellies. Your players will thank you for it.

  2. Fantastic work on the blobs of varying sizes, remember the 80's movie well, and reading what the main ingredient they used to make their's was ! LOL

  3. Great work on these! The Blob has been something I've been meaning to do but never got around to. I really appreciate the tip of putting hot glue into cold water for more organic shapes.
