My time is spent writing these days, but I really should get back to the ol' digital paints.

Quote with a title screen that is important to you.

This image always reminded me that despite the giant mech battles, this was a world filled with people affected by the greater conflict. Soldier's and civilians alike. It was a great choice for a title screen, it gave gravity to the story for me.

Some of my squad leaders, customised to my own liking. A Sword Brethren Castellan, two Sword Brothers from my Crusade Squads, and a Reaver Sword Brother converted from the Reaver Sergeant.

I did it! I geeked out enough to finish a full army for Warhammer 40K! It only took me... Over a year with a few hours a week in the evening to paint...

More from my Black Templars army, a Crusade Squad.

Mini painting feels like such a natural way forward in creativity for me, borrowing from my time as a comic book Colourist.

Mini painting has fast become a favourite hobby. But damn, am I slow at it.

I'm a big fan of assassins in my 40k army.

Why have I lost motivation for digital painting? Dunno.

Here's some space art. I'll be back to painting things like this for my Forged in the Dark TTRPG, as soon as the initial game design phase is over.
