Worked hard to finish the majestic unicorn-lion-dragon up; very happy with the results! From Monster Hunter World, here's my take on Kirin!

This model was sooo small so getting a cartoon-looking effect on her was really challenging. From Marvel United, my take on painting Goose!

Very tiny model here, but fun to work on different types of creatuers like this happy guy. From Grimcoven, here's my take on the Lashing Lizard!

For any of you A Feast For Odin fans out there, here I did a light-to-shadow paint of a Whaling Ship miniature from meepleforge that my wife bought me!

I'm proud of how this turned out for a small bystander model, so I hope there's some Jimmy Woo fans out there! Here's my take on painting him~

I forced myself to do NMM here; fortunately he's now my favorite member of the Wrecking Crew I've completed. From Marvel United, here's my take on Bulldozer!

No flashy colors with metal armor and a sand-colored skirt, so I utilized deep shadows and bright neutral highlights. From Massive Darkness, here's Sir Ronen painted!

I really didn't want to do his normal color scheme, sooo I did this instead. From Marvel United, here's Anti-Venom painted!

Didn't do the art vs. artist collage but instead blogged (too extensively) about the year and did a shot of my recently completed work. Here's everything recently painted!

I greatly enjoy painting scenery/objects rather than just creatures; so I enjoyed giving these lots of detail-work. From Grimcoven, here's a Pile of Coffins painted!

Picture of a hand-painted model of the "Pile of Coffins" terrain piece from Grimcoven. It's three coffins with some ornate emblems on them, held closed by chains & padlocks. Painted like there were different tiers between opulence and poverty!

Closing out my Cloudspire painting with an insane model that took hours and hours of work, but I'm very proud of it. Here's Horizon's Wrath painted!
#bgg #miniaturepainting #minipainting #miniatures #art #cloudspire #chiptheorygames
Blog entry: boardgamegeek.com/blog/13740/b...
Picture of a hand-painted model of the Horizon's Wrath Spire from Cloudspire. It's like a blimp that's bound with ropes & leather, but has metal components like turbines & fins, a grid I painted like it was glowing with source, and rigging that's holding a full wooden ship beneath it, supported by rope ladders. My poor painting hand may never recover~

Picture of a hand-painted model of Cloudspire's "The Uprising" Spire based on Rubble Ruins. There's so much going on here it's tough to describe, but it's an amalgam of trees/branches, a Grovetender head, mined source-rocks, nailed-on boards, pillars... an insane model X) Picture of a hand-painted model of Cloudspire's "The Uprising" Spire based on Rubble Ruins.

Boy that tail was a pain to do, but I'm happy I got some fun color and definition on a more basic-looking villain. From Marvel Zombies, here's Scorpion painted!

With Grimcoven, I've some new Dark Fantasy-style minis to work on; we'll see how I can adapt my style to them. For my first one, here's an Undead Knight painted!
#bgg #miniaturepainting #minipainting #miniatures #art #grimcoven #awakenrealms #fantasy
Blog entry: boardgamegeek.com/blog/13740/b...
Picture of a hand-painted model of a ghostly undead knight in fancy armor, a glowing hand reaching out while another grasps a tombstone. Magic elements like spirits around it and glowing eyes are painted bluish to hopefully read as magic. I paint my minis as though part of them is in the shadow/casting shadows.
