Had a bit of fun painting the waves and rocks under this crabby thing.

Painted this for a friend and didn’t get a very good shot of it before I gave it to him, unfortunately.

I somehow did not see how much the Deathwalker was leaning before I painted it. I feel like this is one of those mistakes I’ll be thinking about when I’m on my deathbed. Anyway, here’s our group’s starting lineup for Frosthaven.

Messy desk shot of the Cragheart. He’s kinda cute when he’s angry.

I didn’t take an “official” picture of this, but as a bonus you get to see my cluttered paint station. Boneshaper with one of her minions. I stole the skeleton from my old copy of Descent.

Been in a bit of a slump lately. But here’s a Thunderbolt at least. Relatively simple color scheme.

Even though this one doesn’t look much like it’s character sheet, here’s that reference.

Creepy bug-thing shapeshifter. Playing this character currently, and it’s incredibly complex, but a lot of fun.

Instead of a mini today, here’s a picture of my dog judging me because I stopped scritching his nose.

Name a video game you have 100+ hours in.

Unsurprisingly, my most played game is one I haven’t touched since before my wife-wife-and-kid days.

Happy Monday! Here’s a trapper stalking it’s prey through the grass. Just because.

Catapult I painted for my son’s company. He wanted a red stripe on this one, and he asked if I could put some dirt and grass on the base.
