I found Sanguinius' proper head, and by found I mean "knew where it was all along but the Earthworm Jim head was funnier"

#hobbystreak Day 004 - worked more on secret project, lined up another secret project, worked on the #tau lizard script, and had fun printing little duckies made by @epicduck.com Now to enjoy a 4-day vacation! #warhammer40k #warhammer #fantasy #scifi #writing #minipainting #miniaturepainting

I gave my son a few primed test Prints I had around the office, and left him to it... And with no direction he pulled off this great King Goose.

When he's ready to actually listen to advice and be taught technique, he's going to be a better painter than I am. 3/3

I was a bit nervous, because last time I did that, half a bottle of Tallasar Blue ended up on my floor - but I'm a firm believer that kids need to be allowed to make mistakes and take chances. 2/?

I was solo parenting today and my daughter needed 100% of my time for a bit, so I set my son up in my studio, showed him the box of @thearmypainter Speed Paints, and left him alone for an hour. 1/?

I give you, the Fluck (fleshy duck). I had so much fun with this! Thanks for the fantastic sculpts, @epicduck.com!

Painted as inspired by ACMiniatures' flesh nids, using Cuttlefish Colors paints and Dirty Down Gore.

Where's the lie though? I get a lot less post interaction here, but it feels more focused and personal.

Do you want groovy marines? Because this is how you get groovy marines.

I just realized the "another" in my last post didn't make sense because I forgot to share Plugger, Cygnar's foremost producer of Holes-in-Things!

Going to let the existing oil cure for a day, then varnish this and try to Go Grimdarker!

And I think it worked too well because it didn't really change much besides adding a bit of a grunge look. I probably should have added a little Van Dyke Brown into the oil slush to really pull the Grimdarkittude up. The great thing about oil washes is I can still go back and do that! /3

I finished the comic inking on the Shibuya Punk / Graffiti marine, and then decided it was time to grime. Hit the whole thing with a varnish and then an oil wash. The oil paint I used was strictly Ivory Black, because I wanted it to work with the comic lining tones... /2?

I'm old enough to remember when Halo 1 was planned as a PC game before Xbox came around ๐Ÿ˜‚ they actually used it in an nvidia commercial in ~2001

I'm working on a Cygnar Gravediggers commission for a client, and thought it was a good opportunity sculpt some themed bases to go with them. I made a few custom Insert brushes to move the job along, and I've since been making Basing Bits and other size bases from the same work.

I've been told I don't post enough on Bluesky - probably because I stopped using Twitter about 5 years ago so I didn't have a Tweeting habit to transfer over anymore.

Anyway, here's a preview of a ridiculous project I'm working on. Yes, it's wargaming terrain ๐Ÿ˜‚

I finished up a group of Custodes, mostly Jetbikes, for a local client. The minis on foot are just to bring up the numbers of a couple existing units. The gold paints up in mere minutes - airbrushing, drybrushing and washes - but everything after that is DON'T YOU DARE SLIP UP detailing.

The first 3 Goblins of 10 from Tom Mason's Goblin Menace Heroes painted up for his Kickstarter! These little sculpts have so much character and they're just genuinely fun to paint.

I'm painting up all 10 Heroes for Tom Mason's next Goblin Menace Kickstarter! I'm going with a classic vibrant green for this batch, but I have 10 of my own I'll be doing other things with :)

I stayed up way too late last night working on the Duck Korps of Krieg sculpt for DuckDrop's first anniversary release! Can't wait to see people paint this.
