This guy looks really great. I love the work with - all of it! Seriously like the metals.

So cool to see an original take on NMM. this is coming along so nicely. Thank you for sharing.

I love seeing your updates hit the page! This such a cool project, and your execution is awesome. Keep at it!

That's some delicate looking work on the face! I love it.

Thanks for the responses. You are absolutely correct Chris, that is exactly what I had done before reading your response.
Finally added to my personal gallery of completed projects. Wait, what? Did...

Still refining the above sister(that you all liked soooo much,LOL), no pics though. I have so many irons in the fire ATM. A Wallhalla display almost finished, a Hulk Chevy emblem for my buddys truck....

That's great sculpt and a crispy print to boot. Base painting looking nice too.

Wow. Welcome back Andy. Glad to hear you are on the mend. This gives me some needed perspective on the 'Vid. I've been pissed that it has kept from working for close to a year now, at least I have my...

Stuff is looking good! I like how you are actually finishing your projects (mine seem to be in a constant state of "almost").

Well. Not sure how I missed this thread all this time! Your work, Sir, is most impressive. I mean all around. The sculpting, painting, vision and overall "eye"for the composition, are all top-notch....

Nice variety of tones on that dark armor. That can be tricky. Your Morty came out super bitchin'!

Darthmarsh, that is a great idea! I was only showing them both for scale, I hadn't considered using them together.
If you have looked through my posts, you may notice that i bounce around quite a...

Yeah, that works really well.

I just wanted to drop a couple more on you. These are lesser known, for now. Daybreak Miniatures, super detailed fantasy, perhaps some usable for Warhammer. Awesomly supported as well as sculpted. ...

That came out sweet Chris! Looking forward to see hoe the pours come out. I'll have to admit I had to look up Joe Pineapples. I was shocked to see he was JD character, I used to follow JD and well, I...

Well, for all the trial and "error" (not really)- the wings came out great!

Looking good! Nice skin and eyes. I like the "lighting" around his neck.

Thanks Eki.
I wasn't going to start posting this project yet. Well just a teaser from the bench.The 'lil guy in his hand is the Adeptus Titanicus Quesetor Knight from GW for reference. 81832

Really like the purple and green. the flouros, not so much. Perhaps go back into them with more white, built up to pure white in the centers of the lines.. So that the flouros are more of a tint. My...

So well done, stuffed crust! Nice pics too, shows them off properly!

Looking good all around! I really like the skin tones, the green touch in the face reads well.

Those look really nice. The marines are super clean. They look well defined and the details are easy to "follow".

Thank you all for the comments. I was a bit hesitant to start that freehand, having been some many years since I have used a traditional paintbrush for 2d art. Looking forward to doing more of it.
...

Glad to see you posting again. After my absence I had hoped to see what you had been up to.

This is looking so cool. Kudos for going outside your comfort zone to resolve the missing pieces. Blender is something I would like to tackle. I just can't wrap my mind around the initial interface...

I don't know what has you disturbed here. Perhaps just the fact that you are used to seeing so much happening on this model and the rear is relatively plain. I really don't see anything wrong. Keep...

Wow! He came out fantastic! I'm getting ready to do some green/gold armor, I'll be referencing back to these photos for sure.

Well the hood looks good from the front. Work something else and come back to the hood. As for the square bits around her face, I was wondering about those myself when I last looked at your pics. Do...

Thanks Eki.
Well the ping pong match of revolving projects landed on the cyclone or infinity base. I think I'm okay calling the base done and moving on to the fig.8175181752

Most definitely the right direction! I really like this project. Love the eyes!

Thanks guy! I'll keep it up Chris. in chaotic "spurts" no doubt.
This update is to the Ares model. I based the fire in Vallejo Model Air Moon Yellow. I knew this was only a base coat for a more...

I was planning on waiting until I had progressed further on this project to start the progress reports. I am just so damn exited about this one at the moment I cannot contain myself. This is the base...

Man, this is looking cool so far! Looking forward to your updates.

Thanks Gorb, Gra and BAM. Really looking forward to adding some water to the Cen base.
Well, I was cleaning up my work area and disaster struck my Timmy. He's shattered into a bunch of pieces and...

Okay. Just. WOW.

Thank you for the close ups! So well done, pride of Grandfather Nurgle without question!

Really clean work! These guys are great. I love the exposed wood on the shield. How small are these dudes? They look pretty small to me, making your face painting really something special.

Thanks Kallfa. Some green makes sense color wise, not sure how I'll work that in with the the flames sculpted into the base however.
Still actively working on Timmy, no new pics though. I've been...

Yeah. what BAM said. Really striking!

That looks really... nice. Looks like a lot of work went into it. I like the use of colors and the blends are top notch! Well done.

Thanks Eki. Shame that had to rush her in the end. She was fun and an eye opener for me working on larger size figs.
Well, i have been fine tuning my NMM. The only proper diversion seems to be...

Cool stuff you have here. II like your judge Dredd paintjob. I have him printed and primed, looking forward to getting to him one day.

Well. Long time no update. No reason in particular, I have been gettin' my "hobby on" during my "radio silence". I've been meaning to post an update for while now. It's just so daunting to even think...

Your thread is flowing over with Awesome sauce as of late Bud! I absolutely love the girl on the "bike", just so damn cool.

Glad to see you posting again! Bust looks good so far. I hear you on the "-Vid" changing literally everything, I haven't worked since March (Convention Industry) and won't be 'till next year...

Well I've been "silent" for a moment but I've been busy. I had been working on the Centaur for the "group base", then I got sidetracked with a Patreon paint contest and had to finish a project...

...the Trove, great for all kindsa WH stuff, books, movies and a ton of stuff relating to the actual game. Check out the "assets" tab.

Thanks Eki and Gorb. BTW Gorb, some super cool sculpting you have happening as of late, I love the Geiger Aliens.
I have the Epax X1-n, I'm about to upgrade it to a -dj model, the difference being...

Wow Gorb the sculpts all look so good, can't wait to 'em in some paint!

Nice stuff Max! Moratarian looks like he's going to be a nice one, great start.

Thanks Guys. Been a flurry of activity here as of late. I have a bunch of really cool stuff coming up. Here's a couple photos of my main painting focus at the moment. The centaur has been a pain. One...

Okay my friends if you need a rabbit hole of 3d prints available in dizzying amounts, one word: Discord. Through my Patreons I hooked into Discord. Been kind of avoiding it, feeling that this old dog...

Love the beat up lookin Ultras! So cool, the chipping work is great!

Okay, so one little side distraction completed-well a tiny touch up to do after photo inspection. This is a fig i printed up, I think he came from thingaverse. Now I'm kinda 40K deficient,...

Whole lot a Print 'n Prime going on in the studio these days. I've been debating just how much to share as most of them aren't technically WIPs, more like additions to my stash, pile of shame I...

Looking over the whole thread here, I like what I see. Nice work. Just starting into the 40k realm myself so I'll be following your progress, keep at it. I really like the colors on the Shalaxi model...

Textures turned out real nice on the tree, gonna look sweet with some paint on it!

Yeah buddy, baseitis! You got it good. I really like the diversity you have going on, really nice workmanship as well.

I haven't stopped by for a short while. You've been busy! My paintbrushes are in the other room thankfully, or else they'd be shaming me to no end! I really like the Kobald. Super cool skin tones,...

Found two more Patreons I had to support (you'd think I still a job! SMH):
3D Art Guy- Been following this guy and had to pull the trigger. Very nice models, whole diorama pieces. Super good value....

Thank you guys, your commentary helps me keep at it!
@khavor, buying the printer has proven to be the most enjoyable reason not to put brush to paint and minis yet! Seriously though, best decision I...

I just found another to add to the list. This guys stuff is simply A-mazing! He doesn't sculpt for miniatures and his stuff is large, 1/6 scale I believe. I have printed out a couple of his busts and...

Cool stuff back to the first post. The Mortarion however, is super cool! I really like the feel of the parts overall. Looking forward to seeing more!

Wowzers! Share more. Very nice.

Nice clean paint job there. Painted them all today? I can barely wake up and get back to sleep in one day.

ThanksMAXxxx, I think interesting sums it up.
I've had a productive coupe days. Working on a Grimdark style GW Tech Priest Enginseer. I'm following a tutorial from Zatcaskagoon Miniatures from the...

That looks real nice. I like the texture, well and the freehand of course. Well done.

Great stuff Dex! Well done

Thanks guys!
Eki.. yes those are my prints. There are a few in those pics that have not been primed, that's probably why some look less detailed. Without question as time marches on my ability to...

As my new obsession/hobby is 3D printing of miniatures I have found that a large part of the hobby is finding the files you want to print. That aspect alone is almost an art unto itself, and it is...

OMG. I don't know where to start. Been a month and a half since my last post. That's when my 3d printer came into my life. It has dominated just about every ounce of my attention ever since. I'm...

I love using things from nature to be repurposed and painted to represent...things from nature.
I have quite a collection of old cheap spices, my favorite being celery seeds, weird texture. I...

Got my Epax x1 3d printer late last night. Still awake, the world will never be the same again!

Looking good Dex! I really like the addition of the crackle medium to your Ice, use more of it! Thanks for sharing the step by step process.

Face on the Norman bust amazing! Great job so far.

Thanks St. Toad, I'm trying to be as faithful to the original as possible (for me).
I'm slowly working on so many projects at once. well, when I get up off my ass anyway. Finding it hard to be...

that is super cool! Well executed all around. Thanks for sharing with us.

That looks really nice! As the others have said, your OSL is on point! OSL is next on my list to get my head "wrapped around".

Thanks Gorb! Update on things around the Tiki garage, I am so close to done with the jungle babe. She's on the dio and today I am waiting for delivery of my final pieces for this project. Photos...

looking good Dex. I like the rock with more detail paint on it. For a thinner than uv resin (yet thicker than varnish), I have good luck with Vallejo water texture (med thickness) and Ak Gauzy agent...

Coyotebreaks Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I get back to the girl on that one,
I got my new camera (Olympus tg-6) so I figured I'd share the DD project as it sits. Pretty happy with it, the...

Started to get back into my Death Dealer a bit in between steps on other projects. I think I'm done with the pastels on the horse. Starting to get a texture from repeated applications of sealer and...

Thx Graishak .
Quick progress report Still smoothin'.

Another update, I'll be brief, long day.Got the jungle Babe worked on a bit, quite a bit more to do. Happy with the progress.
7916679167 Can't seem to get a better pic of the cat. New camera on...

Thank You all! Your comments mean a lot to me.
I have the first mini painted up and mounted to the jungle base. He was fun to paint, a real nice sculpt. Both girls (jungle Babe & Treelord "chick")...

Impressive! Very nice.

Thank you all for the kind words!
I hesitated before moving forward on the jungle base. I knew that I wanted to have purple clump foliage on the tree in the shadows. That sounded awesome, or maybe...

Death Dealer came out real nice! This model looks really nice as well, love the textures! What scale is he?

MM- thx. I have been putting together a little collection of potential critter additions.

color on the tree...

Thanks MM, Yeah I love the piece of wood I pulled it off of, a desert find ( I live in Vegas). I hope to find more of it, I will. It's everywhere out here.
A little multitasking today. Got the...

WooHoo! Color being slung! Well, it's flying through the air anyway. Just about ready to pick up the paintbrushes (going to base out the girl first). Proud of myself for not taking this base too far...

I hear you, on all of that! Trevor looks great. Super smooth and subtle shading.

I love how your sculpted branch ends look. BTW. what is modeling mass?

Primer really ties all together for the first cohesive view. Looking good! Whose primer are you using? I've been bouncing around lately.

Thanks guys! Don't feel bad Graishak, I thought I had a lot of paint 'till I switched them into this rack, perspective I suppose.
Well, i did it again! In my excitement over my newest base, I...

Hi Dex. I like where you are going with your dio. As to the crystalyne effect: I have used something in my 2d airbrush art that may or may not work for you. The "store bought" mixes are really too...

Hey Eki. It's 1/8 " plywood (luan, I believe). Yep drilled 'em all. what a nightmare. 420 pilot holes ( I stacked the two pieces together). Then because my paddle bit would've ripped it up, I decided...

Looking really nice, love the tones on the Axe, handle and head.

Thanks Eki and Dex (high praise on the tree coming from you, I LOVE your tree work).
No painting yet today, however I did make a new paint rack, 420 dropper bottle capicity!

I swear, sometimes the amount of research I need to do to get things done baffles me. I know more than I thought I'd ever need to know about rainforest ground, trees, fish, and blackwater...

Don't you love when you start to add the "little" details? Looking good, the extra height and cables really worked out.
Did you ever back to that Dark Knight? I like him.

A bit further along. Gotta let the apoxie sculpt set up before adding further details. Perhaps I'll return to that skin paint, or maybe a nap.
78895

I haven't checked in you in while, you've been busy! I really like how the "monster coming out of the portal" is coming along. The blue color was a good choice!

That osl looks great! And the orks are, well, sick!

Thanks Lost and Dex.
Well my muses are always on me in the wee hours. Just starting to paint skin on my Iron Golem victims for the untamed beast scene...Doh! needed to add some filler on each of...

Thanks for peeking in and commenting.
To add to the project list, I have made a base for my untamed beast champion. I don't play any of the games, but when I first saw this guy, I really liked him....

That axe looks awesome! Sorry to hear the Tamya is giving you issues. wish I had an answer for you.

Thank you Andy. I'm familiar with that tutorial, perhaps my favorite, no kidding. I have printed it out even. i can't thank you enough for putting it out there for the world to use. It helped to "up"...

Your DD is looking great and the smurf came out incredible!

Okay, I have my pictures more in line, not quite to my liking yet, but better.The first three are my learning pieces for nmm. None are done yet, but I understand what's going on and pretty much...

Thank you guys!
DChan, yes I built the bridge with styrene and balsa wood.

KruleBear, so close to finished on that one. On hold 'till I get a...

With all this time at home..... yeah, you've heard that one. So I'll be off work for what is looking like three months! Getting into the swing of things. Working on this and that, here is what's...

Not looking bad at all ...for a starting point, patience is the key here ( i think). I'd add maybe the smallest amount of a white or whitish color to the middle of your yellows. beyond that I would...

Thank you guys! Things are moving right along, so here is the current state of things:
Ky Ra; calling this girl done! I could've done more, but I suppose that will always be the case on every mini....

...or not.

Finally finished something! This little girl was a love/hate piece. While I will be the first to admit that my mini painting skills need to improve, I still feel that the Bones line of minis are more...

So I've spent some of the last few hours testing pastels on my Centaur in order to work out colors for my Death Dealers Steed. Wow Super cool results! While this color may not work for the Centaur...

Thank you Gorb, Coyote and Eki. That tutorial is all you need (other than supplies).

Super nice work going on here! I haven't had the chance to go back further than the jungle base yet. I plan to though.

Thanks again Eki!
I've been working on Ky Ra, like I should be.... and, while I worked on her I also learned how to paint with pastel dust as well. I used some pastel sticks I had and scraped 'em...

I mentioned the -taur. was going to go with gold NMM. For the sake of contrast it will be changed to steel.

Thanks Eki and coyote! I have some ideas for the dice base, we'll see where they go.
I have been bouncing around so many projects and really only getting a little done here and there on each. Time...

So glad you are posting up this fantastic art, love your work.

WOW! I came in late on this one, I'll have to go back and catch up. Very cool mini! Great job.

Thanks Toad, not too sure where I'll take it either honestly. Thinking stone for the dice. The fig is shooting her bow back toward the "field". I don't think I want another full character back there...

hmm. I said I wouldn't be starting up new stuff! LOL!! I had some time the last few eves and wasn't up to painting for one reason or another. I needed to do something and inspired by a bunch of James...

powerkor, thanks for the response. Is there a specific brand you could recommend?

I'd like to use something to say, stick down a...

last mod before bed tonight. I think this balanced the composition a bit, classic Frazetta triangle- above and below.

Been pluggin' away at the Anirion base. I don't plan on the plinth area as it sits, just don't have a plan for it yet. It's sprayed with gloss ATM to protect it while I detailed the top. Had the...

Good news on all fronts! The water base for Shaern has been salvaged. I don't think it has quite the same feel as before, that's primarily due to the grungy black vs the clean white. No worries...

I think I got this, gonna "cap" the wood base with sheet styrene. The water is poured so I can sand it flush with the plastic. The additional depth will keep me off the sword. Big bonus is that I...

Well, today I have learned that if using plexiglass to hold back your Envirotex Lite (2 part epoxy "water"). it's a good idea to remember to somehow lube it for release (that sounds, well you know,...

Nice "read". Any chance of re-upping the photos? TIA. And thx for the OG post!

Progress report time. The good news first.

Nice, Thanks MaXXxxx. I don't mind being last. I rank!

I've noticed ranking in some signatures. I even saw mine somewhere once, can't find it again. I read the FAQ and can't seem to get it to work. anyone out there care to let me know where I can find...

So the plinth base is under silicone mold, For at least 18 hours! Man, I hate waiting. My pre-molding thought process was something like this: Well I should prime it to check for and fill in any...

Thanks St Toad. I tried to keep that in mind, I think they show now that it's in primer. I don't want to get too carried away as I plan to mold/cast it and want to leave options open for the future-...

Wow nice work! Keep the posts coming!

Well I've been a slacker in regards to this thread. Not that many would notice, lol.
First up is little lack o detail Bones girl. Not sure if I've dragged her kicking and screaming or if she has...

Just a quick update to include my "other" projects. What, more? Why? Well because.....did you see that dog catch that frisbee? I need to have a few projects going so that when I get distracted,...

Just about done with this guy. A few touch ups left here and there. And maybe a larger photo booth. Pretty excited to call this done soon.

Hi there, quick post to report on last nights progression. I had planned on just throwing down some base colors. Got a bit carried away and worked it up a bit more than that.

if this works I'll edit, I guess


Well I've been having troubles getting my posts through.
