Friends know me as xbogx. I play guitar in I Stared Into the Forest and Coins as Portraits. This is my painting journey.

I really like painting faces and think I have improved a bit this year. After sculpting my own goblin with bigger eyes (for painting), I realized I could sculpt bigger eyes on other models, which I did on the orcs here.

Here's a timelapse of my latest painting. I removed the background of the photo digitally and painted behind the model. I changed the photograph toward the end as I repainted the axe and other things. Painted in Krita.

2025 has been one of the worst years for me on a personal level, but I also managed to achieve some things I am very proud of: sculpting my first miniature, blending more landscape painting with my miniatures, creating the artwork for my band's new single and releasing my first youtube video.

Two golds and one silver, what an awesome Christmas present! I am so grateful to Cult of Paint for organizing an online competition for us folks who don't go to in-person ones.

Pirate Orc Raid! The mountains are Bucegi, from a reference picture I took this summer on a hike. I love painting backgrounds for my models and hope to do much more next year as I'm getting more comfortable with it.

Finished the pirate archer! The sculpt is a bit rough, but this is my favorite pose from the whole set. Head is by MaxMini.

Done! I tried to get him finished for the MPO 2025 but time was short and I had to rush. This is how I wish I had submitted him. It's mainly fixing the boots and adding more contrast to the gold

Here's my entry for the MPO Orkvember 2025. I was hoping to spend more time on this but I had to rush to get it submitted. I think the gold is too yellow. All the leather is very rough and I didn't fix the axe on the black orc. Still, I think they look great as a group and I'm happy with the faces.

I'm back home and managed to get some painting done yesterday. Not really sure about the bracelet, maybe I should make it leather and only the spikes metal.

They're the same picture? I often make a digital paintover when I want to try out something fast. In this case, the painting is almost done, but I want to try some final touches. I added more light to the bandana and teeth, and more specular highlights on the face. Also tidied up the earring and ear

Here's the painted head, converted from a 40K ork. You can see why I felt I needed bigger eyes: I wouldn't have where to put all that detail on the original sculpt.

For 38 long years, 40K hobbyists have sullied our precious fantasy models with their guns, powerpacks and powerswords. I say it's about time we pick up our hobby knives and fight back! Joking aside, there are a lot of cool fantasy to 40K conversions that people are doing, but not so much the reverse

Throwback thursday! My 2025 and 2024 black orcs! I tried to make them fit together as best I could. Still haven't fixed the axe blade as I've been away from home for the past week.

Orctober done! I aimed at matching my black orc from last year and I am very pleased. Sculpting the eyes bigger was a good idea too.

WIP! There's many things left to do: cloth, skin, straps. Also add ground reflections and tidy up what I have. The chainmail sculpting isn't great. I need to paint it better.

Hello friends! I've been painting goblins for a while so I thought I'd do a video looking back at my journey and explaining my thoughts on how I paint them.

I made a YouTube video on the evolution of my goblins. I went from using metallics and saturated red hoods to NMM and square bases. I also show the paints I use. Link in bio.

Empire in flames! The red-face goblins have come down from their caves in the World's Edge Mountains to raid the quiet village of Nachtdorf. Bg painted in Krita. I used the Bucegi mountains, which I can see from my window, as reference.

It's Orctober! I started a bit early and mostly finished this head. The sculpt is a bit rough but I love the character. Happy painting!

A Nasty Skulker! These guys are some of my favorite sculpts. They're not night goblins, but I used the same color scheme to make them fit. He was part of the Mordheim band I speedpainted last year and polished now

Here's my netter! I think the backside looks better. Didn't really know what to do about the net except paint the holes black. I made the skull shiny.

Sculpting practice! I had this broken head from an ebay bits lot and I decided to fix it up. I made the eyes bigger so i could paint them.
