Adding some richness to this old Hellboy bust this morning. Wish I could just do this vs going off to work!

Working on my submission for Golden Demon 2026! I’ll try to share more on here. It’s a Nurgle tank with a lot of weathering. I really want to evoke the lore and the battlefield supremacy. Since this is my only submission next year, I can go all out on it.

Comparing left and right paint jobs on capes, right is from 2023/4.
I feel like I’ve got a better grasp of saturation and contrast now!

Not me adding another Golden Demon project, nothing to see here…jk. The plan this year was to bring a lot of stuff, and fix up my previous models.
Going full ass is so much better than half assed!

My second #GoldenDemon piece is the Witch King of Angmar. This one I also brought last year and have made some edits to for this year.
Namely:
Added fur texture
Redid some of the TMM
Added more to the base to make it more swampy
Redid the majority of highlights

Metals are fun but tbh, Daleks have a wide variety.
I love the ones with teal. Just unusual!

Painted this Unicorn for a friend! I had a lot of fun with the model, spending around 5 hours on it. The part I love the most is the thin coats of TurboDork crystal caverns paint that adds depth & sparkles!
Yay gifting!

Improved some crystals this week for a Marvel Crisis Protocol mini I’m building for a competition.
The edge highlighting was pretty killer, but I’m enjoying the direction. Next step is to hit the edge highlights with a brilliant white

Today during some morning phone calls, I dove into this base for a #warhammer Old World piece. I noticed after painting, it had some noticeable gaps, so a UV pen fixed it right up. Great hack for y’all.

Starting to reflect on projects I did this year and OH MY GOD did I paint a lot.
I submitted 3 pieces for Golden Demon, painted 2 board games, and a handful of other pieces.
4 of these models were all done with @thearmypainter.bsky.social fanatics, which have pretty much become my default paints.

Got this #oldhammer epic scale beastie and I’m a huge fan of the design of it but if I’m honest, I’m gonna need some strong glue to pull this one together.
