Just recovering from a hectic weekend at the UK Games Expo. A great event absolutely jam packed with gamers. You can read more about the day on my blog here..... http://doggysdoings.blogspot.co.uk dfb

It really disheartens me to have to write a post of complaint concerning CMON when I like the site and the success it has had and the excellent community here. I supported the Season 2 Zombicide Kickstarter, was really impressed with the game and all its goodies but have had a couple of...

Did a little write up of my experience of the UK Games Expo event held at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham over the weekend - with plenty of photos of course. Some miniatures tournaments were held and boardgames which are the main meat and gravy of the convention. But most definately a great...

I am a ma-hoo-sive fan of Talisman. Probably mentioned that before, but there it is again anyway. My mate has been involved with Talisman for a very long time, run one of the best Talisman sites after the game "died" and has been actively involved in its development since 4th Edition due to his...

Going to be trying my hand at "ACEO Cards" - art cards - editions and originals. Trading card size miniature artworks basically that people trade or sell. The pieces of art are all 3.5x2.5 inches, signed and numbered on the back by the artist. Doing miniature pieces should help me develop some...

Just picked up a sweet deal for some busts based on Adrian Smiths work -- £100 for all 4 of his character pieces, sculpted by the awesome Cyril Roquelaine. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Adrian-Smiths-HATE/233533063481865?id=233533063481865&sk=app_251458316228 Looking forward to picking up a...

In my quest to get back into the seat with my artistic pursuits (Yeah, yeah the minis and sculpting will be coming) I have been investigating marker pens. Copic markers are the leading brand, made in Japan and very pricey but refillable and the nibs are replaceable also. And you can use them in...

This time of year I am always getting pretty excited to see what projects Uber Sculptor Ray Villafane has up his sleeve! He did some stuff in Hong Kong which has been preserved in tanks. Pretty awesome stuff. I have collated some photos of his work for you to peruse on my blog, head on over...

Just wondering if the catergory for Vehicle allows any kind of scenic elements to be added to its base. Or is it just literally the vehicle on a standard base. It kind of seems like it might be a diorama otherwise, anybody have ideas on this one, I am trying to develop my entry ideas but would...

At last we have some online Talisman multiplayer gaming coming our way!!! Games Workshop's Talisman has always been my favourite boardgame, when you have all the expansions is a very well rounded adventure game, simple with enough complexity to keep it interesting without bogging the game down...

I really liked this bust so I decided to use Avicenna's paintjob as an inspiration for this drawing done on the Wii U Art Academy Sketchpad app. Turned out pretty good. Originally I wanted to copy the paintjob but that kind of fell to the wayside. I enjoyed doing this picture so I may pick out a...

Trying out the new drawing app - Art Academy on the Wii U and its pretty good fun to! The software is actually only half finished but I am glad they released it early rather than wait. Only pencils, pastels and coloured pencils to play with at the moment but it does a suprisingly good job with...

Anyone ever done this? Some details on the format would be good to if anyone can offer some sort of overview of it. I wouldnt mind having a go next year as well as the Golden Demon. dfb

Pleased to say that legendary Dungeons & Dragons and fantasy artist Larry Elmore has agreed to do an interview for my blog in 3 weeks or so time. So if you have any questions you want me to ask please leave them in this thread or PM me please. I will choose the best questions and incorporate...

I spent the day on Newquays Towan beach on Wednesday and Thursday, chilling and doing some drawing. I dont really crack out my sketchbook in public normally. But I thought its a good alternative to sitting around the house f***ed off with everything. So I shot down as its only an hour away from...

Just finished doing a write up for the UK Games Expo 2013 event over on my blog. http://doggysdoings.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/uk-games-expo-may-2013.html Plenty of photos and waffle. There was boardgaming, RPG's and miniature gaming over the whole weekend. I enjoyed it and will be attending...
