I was asked to paint Feiya and her familiar, Daji, adhering to the original artwork by Wayne Reynolds as closely as possible. This is a 28mm Pathfinder mini by Reaper Miniatures. I’m impressed with the intricate sculpt …

Treeman Ancient
Last fall, I was invited to participate in the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation’s auction for 2015. I was flattered to be asked to contribute to such an event and joyously poured over kits from my local hobby shop and picked out a Treeman from Games Workshop. The kit comes with three head and weapon choices. …

I’ve been quite busy over the last few months, but only some to do with painting. This last commission took some time but it’s finally finished. I was asked to add on some winter furs to Skorne Beast Handlers and create snow and ice bases for the five handlers and a Cyclops. This project held …

Grey Scale Elvira
A fun challenge came up a couple of months ago to paint a grey scale mini. I wasn’t going to join this challenge initially, Â as I have a ton of projects going on already, until I ran across a small sculpt of Elvira. I have no idea what company. It’s a small, about 30mm, resin …

Amiri, Iconic Barbarian
Right after the Russian Coalition was boxed up, I jumped on the next commission. This is Amiri from Reaper Miniatures from the Bones line. I painted one other Bones miniature but this is my first commission involving  this material. I followed the reference picture as close as possible, with some slight changes. I wasn’t sure …

Izamu from Malifaux
Izamu is done. He is a 32mm resin kit. The custom base that was sent fits really well with the model. Â He is a nicely detailed and fun to paint. All of the metal was done in NMM and I used varying layers of acrylics and oils.

Cement Fox
I was going to do an update on the Son of Thunder sculpt but ended up charging along and almost finishing the mini so I’ll save that for another time when he’s complete. I was thinking of all of the odd things I’ve painted such as the princess piggy bank and Bert and Ernie …

Bert and Ernie
Last week my brushes were on fire and I had laser concentration. This week not so much. I know by now that if I’m not working on commissions and I push to paint when I’m not quite feeling it, then terrible things may happen. I did make some progress on the Son of Thunder but …

Making Removable Flight Stands with Sugru
I mentioned a couple of posts ago about making the flight stands for the Necron Scythes removable using Sugru, a somewhat flexible self curing putty/rubber. I’ve been using this stuff to fix just about everything around the house since I ordered it. I used about two mini packets of Sugru per base. Now that I …

Dragon, Kyra, Seoni…. done!
After working on these guys for quite some time, I finally was able to sit down and finish them up this week. It’s such a relief to be able to get home at a reasonable hour, paint uninterrupted, and actually get some commissions finished. Â I love the fact that my customers are patient and forgiving …
