In our recent paper in @mbiojournal we examine the role of #auxins as #agonists and #antagonists of bacterial #signal #transduction #receptors. We also investigate the emergence of an auxin recognition motif in #plant-associated #bacteria. @BlastMeetings

Want to see some of the #enemy or #antagonists? Meet The Promethians; The Union's èlite troops who "stole fire from the gods" as it were....

The result of some absolutely awful experimentation, these guys carry the genetic code of the #Kalshodar and are equipped with the best weapons and armour their masters can produce.

...okay, Day 7 of my #DnD #Antagonists & #Villains week. Here's a strange one. One of my Lammergeier #Cultists from a #Homebrew #DnD5e adventure I pulled together for my players last year called Cold Comfort.
These guys gave my players a run for their money along with a bunch of strange acolytes & their Cult Leader (which I'll try to get around to posting at some point).
They turned out to be a little more than the PCs where expecting, though the clues were there all along.

Day 6 of my #DnD #Antagonists & #Villains week... & I thought I'd throw some more scratch-built #3D fun/nonsense (delete as appropriate).
So, here we have my (still very) WIP #Beholder. I've thrown a human miniature in there for scale too. This is my first crack at building a creature for the game table, & I went for a found object approach, but I might well try a sculpt in green stuff in future.

Okay, so trying to get caught up...
Let's call this post Day 5 of - #DnD #Antagonists / #Villains week...
The two characters on the left of the image are part of a strange conspiracy. There appearance varies, but this is their most "natural" look...
WIP (hence all the unfinished hands and other bits).

I have a number of things on this weekend plus a house guest, so I missed posting yesterday... Plus I don't have the images to hand of my Cold Comfort villains as promised, so rather than worrying about it, I'll post 2 toots to make up for it. This first one for Day 4 of my #DnD #Antagonists & #Villains Week (ie yesterday).
3 shadowy types/groups moving in the background of my players lives...
#TtrpgArt #DnDart #DnD5e #5e #TtRPG
A wizard/sorcerer (sort of), a cult (sort of), & a faction... #WIP

Okay, Day 3 - #DnD #Antagonists / #Villains week...
WARNING! Phobia/Sensitivity alert! Eyes/multiple eyes/spider forms/& tiny hands.
These I call my "Xanthic Spider-Goblins".
I wanted something with a slightly creepier flavour than a regular #goblins, but something that had similar abilities, & added to them a Brood Elder figure that was based on a #Hag / #Troll.

*I can't seem to figure out how to blur just 2 out of the 4 images.

Okay so day 2 of an impromptu* #DnD #antagonists / #villains week, & following yesterday's #Troll, today we have WIP/sketch paintings of:
1 - Some sort of mutated spider-#troll-giant (used as a vehicle by cultists?).
2 - A multi-eyed storm giant #monstrosity.
3 - A #Cyclops with a goblin warrior/archer carriage/howdah on its back)
&
4 - A #magic fuelled stomach-mouthed chaos #giant with floating mask & multiple floating eyes.

*i.e. ...made up on the spot as I wrote yesterday's post.
