This week I painted up all of the Sinister Birds for Hellboy Board Game. These were tricky to come up with a color scheme for. Originally, I wanted to paint them like purplish ravens, mostly because I really wanted to use the title of “Quoth the Raven Never’more”. I also feel that Mike Mignola has … Continue reading Hellboy – Hitchcock’s Pets
Let’s start with some good news this week and then we can discuss the not so good. Hellboy is finally done. It didn’t take as long as a typical display piece does but three weeks on a single miniature is still plenty of time and I have to admit that I’m looking forward to painting … Continue reading Wild Hunt Hellboy is Done
This week’s update is action-packed with triumphs, humiliations, and lots of pictures. First up, I have made a fair amount of progress on Hellboy this week. I think it might be useful for me to do a side-by-side comparison image of last week to this week. Here is what the front of the mini from … Continue reading More Hellboy, New Acquisitions, and a Miserable Room Tour
This past week, I hit a brick wall on the Witch King miniature I’ve been working on for this year’s Golden Demon. As a result, I am no longer going to work on the project with an eye towards entering it in a painting competition. I will explain why and some lessons I’ve learned along … Continue reading Making and Learning From Competition Painting Mistakes
Let’s get the unpleasant news out of the way first. Not too long ago I mentioned the threat of layoffs and well, they happened pretty much out of nowhere this week. I was lucky to not be affected by them but the whole experience was pretty jarring to say the least. The company I work … Continue reading Hellboy – Roger Returns and More Website Metrics
Its good to be back after taking a week off. There’s plenty to talk about so I won’t waste any time. The first thing I got done was another caveman. Like the previous two, these minis don’t take long at all to paint so it was nice to get another done quick. I showed off … Continue reading Savage Core and Hellboy – Neanderthals and a Homunculus
It has been an eventful week so I’m going to bring back the rapid and random thoughts format for today’s update. I have not worked for over a week. Why you ask? I spilled water on my laptop on Thursday last week and my company has not been able to get me a replacement and … Continue reading Hellboy – Professor Broom and His Bane
There is a lot to discuss this week so I won’t waste any time. I managed to finish some more doors for Hellboy today. These haven’t been varnished so they look a little more matte than they will when all is said and done but I’m happy to have eight out of fifteen doors done … Continue reading Hellboy and Fallout – Manual Labor
Who is the greatest superhero ever? Its not Superman or Batman. Its not Spider-man or Wolverine. The real answer is Lobster Johnson. Who is Lobster Johnson, you ask? He is a secondary character from Hellboy that is so good, he got his own series of comic books. Lobster is very similar to The Shadow, for … Continue reading Hellboy – Fear the claw!
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. I make some progress on the diorama only to not have some kind of supply that I need and then have to take the week off from it while I wait to get said item. That is exactly what happened again this week so I don’t have anything … Continue reading Hellboy – Doors to Somewhere?
