Bicci Shortstride Bust by The Witchguild

She's carried more coin purses than she can count — and every one of them was someone else's.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

Bicci Shortstride is a halfling with a story written all over her face: a knowing smirk half-buried beneath an enormous turban stuffed to bursting, adorned with feathers, a carved floral medallion, and decorative beadwork that speaks of long roads and longer cons. This bust captures her mid-thought — the kind of thought that ends with someone's purse going missing and Bicci three streets away, whistling innocently.

Details

This is a display bust sculpted with extraordinary surface detail — the woven texture of the overstuffed turban, the layered fabric of her ruffled collar, the raised floral brooch at her throat, and that irrepressible expression that suggests she knows exactly what you're carrying and has already decided what to do about it. Mounted on an ornate plinth with Greek key patterning, she's equally at home on a painter's desk, a display shelf, or as visual inspiration for your next roguish NPC.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a detailed painting challenge with rich fabric textures and expressive character work
• Are building a fantasy bust collection for display or competition entries
• Need visual inspiration for a halfling rogue, merchant, fence, or silver-tongued guild contact
• DMs looking for a memorable face to put to a recurring NPC the party can't quite trust

Encounter Hook:
The party arrives at the Gilded Sparrow market stall to meet their contact — and there she is, Bicci Shortstride, turban piled high and smile two beats too wide. She greets them like old friends, hands them a sealed letter, and is three stalls away before the fighter realises his belt pouch feels lighter. The letter is real. The missing pouch is also real. And somehow, they still need her.

This is a display bust, not a standard combat miniature, and is designed to showcase sculpting artistry, painting technique, and character expression. It arrives unpainted and ready for your brushwork. Supplied with supports removed; minor clean-up may occasionally be needed, and all pieces are fully cured before despatch.
