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!

Another Cygnar Warjack (nearly) complete! Basing and the tiny optic on the side of his head left to go 😂

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 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 😂

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.

It may surprise you to know I still know how to paint 😂 Akao from Capsule Chibi painted for a client. There's a few tiny blemishes I need to fix in the morning, but it's basically done!

Almost done working on the Daredevil Diorama! I made a last minute change to the exposition plate, and mounted the background into the shadowbox. Daredevil still needs paint, and Bullseye is about 50% done.

Painted up the wonderfully cursed Squack from @epicduck.com with @thearmypainter.bsky.social Warpaint Fantatic paints. I think the rainbow feathers really sell it.

Recent work on the Daredevil Diorama featuring Daredevil and Zombie Bullseye from CMON's Marvel Zombies game. Tomorrow I'll be painting the characters and a replacement Exposition plate.

Watching @epicduck.com comic style tutorials in prep for painting the Cyberpunk Edgerunners box. I think it'll look great in that style and give off anime vibes.

I'm not even sure how to describe how thrilled I am with this project. I'm trying new things, I'm mashing up influences, I'm breaking down references and improving my artistic clarity... With a silly cow man.

Sketching up some ideas for my next bust, and I think we have a winner here! I'm going to tie it back to my Seeker 714 Bust with some similar clothing elements, but making the whole character more obviously human. A robot cat is curled up in her hood, behind her neck for some extra Awwww factor.
