Wow... lots of inspiration here for miniature painting. Some of the detail in the eyes is insane!

Hi Roger,

I've been pretty inactive, eh? Still painting when I can but I have a child now! Keeping me busy. It's amazing he's already 1 1/2 years old x_X

Jesus, the images are huge. Even by the standards of high-red images online for artwork they're massive.

...

Want to highlight this bit because it's a bit confused/confusing:

The pixel density (pixels per inch, or ppi) has also increased, from 580 to 1,500ppi (magazine and book printing are typically 300ppi).

Resolution (which is what they mean by pixel density) is irrelevant in this context, the number of pixels is all that counts.

Perhaps they mentioned pixel density for reproduction prints they may have produced. Otherwise its a shame that they would mention density in reference to a "zoomable" photo.
